Wallace: We Don't Amplify Dangerous Trump Comments—But He's Hitler!
On her MSNBC show, Nicolle Wallace claims she tries her hardest not to "amplify" Trump's most "dangerous comments," but then quotes people and brings in the head of the ADL to say that Trump's comments on immigration have echoes of Hitler!
STUDY: PBS NewsHour Gives 90% of Its Time to the Radical Left on LGBTQ
The taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has a federally mandated obligation to deliver an objective take on public affairs. Yet a new Media Research Center study finds PBS’s flagship NewsHour program aired nine times more coverage in favor of the left-wing "woke" position on so-called "LGBTQ" issues compared to more traditional positions, while 95% of in-studio…
PBS Runs Down GOP Candidates on 'Slavery' Curriculum, Transgender Kids
The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour program caught up to the second Republican presidential debate on Thursday evening and predictably characterized it as a sad mess. One of the paper’s most Republican-hostile reporters, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, pounced on some of the Republican responses and fact-checked them after the fact, in keeping with the show’s progressive…
PBS Plays Judge and Jury for Biden: ‘We Have Established…No Evidence’
On the latest edition of PBS’s weekly political journalist roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, guest host Laura Barron-Lopez (a familiar face here at NewsBusters) set the tone right from the show’s introduction, of desperate Republicans hurling unsubstantiated accusations against the wall: "House Republicans in disarray.... Speaker Kevin McCarthy opens an impeachment inquiry…
PBS Hypes ‘Popular Authoritarian Movement Within the Republican Party'
On Thursday’s taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour, notoriously liberal correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed two Harvard professors about their new anti-Republican tome: "Can you first establish when you, as someone who is an expert in the collapse of democracies, diagnosed that there is now a popular authoritarian movement within the Republican Party?"
PBS on Biden Impeachment News:'Far-Right' GOP's Unsubstantiated Claims
Tuesday's PBS NewsHour ran two segments on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, extending the ongoing investigations by congressional Republicans into the president’s possible involvement in his son’s business dealings. The supposedly objective tax-supported outlet showered McCarthy with “far-right” labels. A favored phrase of the…
NewsBusters Podcast: Ridiculous 'No Evidence' Biden Impeachment Spin
The House launched an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, and the press promptly repeated the ridiculous but mandatory line that Republicans have “no evidence” of Biden being involved in his son’s influence-peddling. Plus: the cops captured the escaped murderer in Pennsylvania who couldn’t be tagged as an illegal alien.
PBS Weeps Over Denying ‘Gender-affirming Care’ for TX Transgender Kids
Friday’s edition of the tax-supported PBS NewsHour reacted with alarm about news that what the left calls “gender-affirming medical care” for children (i.e., puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and irrevocable surgeries) has been outlawed in Texas. Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez: "...it's important to note that all of the major American medical associations say that this is -- gender-…
PBS Roundtable Hails Haley, But GOP ‘Emboldened to Say Racist Things'
It’s clear who would win PBS’s vote for the Republican Party nomination: Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who in the first GOP presidential debate bowed to “reality” by declaring a federal law against abortion a non-starter. Washington Week host Laura Barron-Lopez and NPR reporter Domenico Montanaro accused Tea Party activists and Tea Party rally attendees of racist thought,…
PBS Blasts 'Inhumane' Gov. Abbott Border Step With Lib Rep, Lib Journo
A segment on the supposedly “inhumane treatment” of would-be migrants along the Texas-Mexico border under Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s program “Operation Lone Star,” which aired on the PBS NewsHour Wednesday evening, was a perfect example of the taxpayer-funded network’ coverage of current events.
PBS Cheers on Bidenomics vs Trump's 'Tax Giveaways to the Ultra Rich'
On Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez acted as mouthpiece for the Biden administration to trumpet the so-called success of Bidenomics, tied to the president’s recent campaign trek to Milwaukee marking the anniversary of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. For this partially taxpayer-funded report, Barron-Lopez cited the Democratic vice-president…
PBS, Atlantic Team to Tar DeSantis: Autocrat Dishing Violent Rhetoric
PBS’s weekly political roundtable show Washington Week has a new “editorial partner” and a new name but the same liberal philosophy. Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic monthly, is now moderator of the awkwardly rebranded Washington Week with The Atlantic. Under Goldberg’s tenure, The Atlantic has turned into a Democratic hive, and he’…
PBS Touts ‘Startling Connections': 'Gun Ownership...White Supremacy'
Congressional reporter Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed leftist professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss for Monday’s PBS News Hour. Miler-Idriss is well known at both left-wing MSNBC and the supposedly objective, taxpayer-supported PBS for her wacky notions. Previously she linked going to the gym with far-right extremism. Monday’s ostensible subject was gun violence, but the host and her…
Washington Week Skips GOP Hearings Entirely, Lusts Over Trump in Jail
The PBS journalist roundtable Washington Week would never put on a Fox News correspondent or a Washington Times reporter -- they're too opinionated? But on July 21, as they obsessed over a potential third Trump indictment, they brought on Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, whose partisanship knows no bounds.
