Walter Isaacson

Two shows that air on tax-funded PBS, the NewsHour and Amanpour & Co., invited journalist and Amanpour regular Walter Isaacson to discuss his new biography of entrepreneur Elon Musk who now owns X (formerly Twitter). The results were less cozy than the usual journalist-to-journalist validation, with the reliably liberal Isaacson getting testy over some of the questions…

On Wednesday's Amanpour & Co., PBS again pushed the left's false narrative that the Republican Party was trying to ban and erase slavery from American history classes. This time Walter Isaacson tapped former Harvard University president Drew Gilpin Faust to be the purported expert for their smear campaign.

PBS is a taxpayer-funded sandbox for the Left. Take the example of Michael Eric Dyson, a professor at Vanderbilt and a former MSNBC political analyst and fill-in host. On Monday's Amanpour & Co., interviewer Walter Isaacson rolled out the red carpet for Dyson to rip America and slash Gov. Ron DeSantis for aspiring to lead a "United States of Amnesia."

Another month, another testy interview on Amanpour & Co. (which airs on CNN International and tax-funded PBS) between journalist Walter Isaacson and a conservative figure. Last month it was National Review editor Rich Lowry, who snapped back at Isaacson’s stating that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s campaign was embracing the “culture of resentment.” This month it’s Gov.…

Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. featured an unusually testy interview, conducted by journalist Walter Isaacson, with Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review. It’s rare that conservatives appear on Amanpour on taxpayer-funded PBS, and the resulting clash between liberal and conservative journalist threw off a few polite sparks about DeSantis vs. Disney.

Today we present the WORST OF 2022: The Media Heroes Award. 

On Wednesday's Amanpour & Co. show, interviewer Walter Isaacson gave Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) a forum to make a misleading push for gun control as the two discussed the recent 10-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook school massacre.

Documentarian Ken Burns took his book tour to PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Tuesday where he hysterically warned that “authoritarianism” and “nationalism” are on the rise in America putting everything from elections to the independent judiciary in trouble. With analysis such as that, it should not be surprising Burns was both short on facts and hypocritical when making his assessment…

Political humorist and satirist Andy Borowitz joined Walter Isaacson on Friday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS to discuss his new book Profiles in Ignorance which purports to report on the country’s growing anti-intellectualism. However, Borowitz’s segment prove the book is actually just an anti-Republican screed as he blames the problem on Ronald Reagan and defends Democrats…

With Mikhail Gorbachev dying earlier in the week, Walter Isaacson wondered on Thursday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS, how the fall of the Soviet Union has impacted conservatism. To get his answer, he turned to author Nicole Hemmer who claimed that conservatives are attempting “to attract voters through racism.”

In a surprisingly rigorous (but not hostile) interview on Friday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS (and CNN), New York Times opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury bizarrely claimed it's unfair to categorize them as a "progressive organization." As if you can't read them and figure it out? 

On Tuesday's Amanpour and Co. on PBS and CNN International, Walter Isaacson treated viewers of the taxpayer funded show to hyperbole as he likened Republican supporters of President Donald Trump to those who collaborated with Adolf Hitler during World War ii, deriding them as "quisling enablers of the undermining of democracy."

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's Amanpour & Co. to promote his book about President Harry Truman, MSNBC host and disaffected ex-Republican Joe Scarborough laid it on thick in trying distance himself from his former party and even the conservative movement, claiming that he had not felt good about either in 20 years, and even that he "never" cared about the Republican party.

On Tuesday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, Daily Beast News columnist Margaret Carlson lamented the dominant left-leaning media's diminished hold over politicians as she spoke during a segment hosted by her ex-boss, former Time magazine editor Walter Isaacson.
