PBS: Protecting Jewish Students Equals 'Chilling of Speech on Campus'

PBS Decries 'Fundamental Attack On Our Constitution' As Trump Defunds
Self-reflection was absent as the cast of characters that made up Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour attacked President Donald Trump’s executive order that cut off their taxpayer money.

Their overwhelming bias was not challenged.

'PUBLIC' TV Watch: PBS Reserves 'Controversial' Label for Trump
The word “controversial” is often a word used to signal to viewers that someone is politically radioactive. So naturally, the liberal minds in “public” broadcasting must use it in a tilted way. From November 2024 through April 20, 2025, Trump and his team were labeled "controversial" 45 times. Biden drew the term once -- for blocking Nippon Steel's acquistion of U.S. Steel -- a position he…

Very Biased PBS Reporter Tries to Defend Law-Breaking Wisconsin Judge
On Friday’s PBS News Hour, White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, the program’s most biased journalist, did her best to defend the indefensible: Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested and charged with obstruction after allegedly protecting a migrant from ICE agents, by sending him out a restricted jury door to prevent him being arrested.

PBS Marks Earth Day With 'Environmental Justice' Scare-Mongering
Taxpayer-funded PBS marked Earth Day with typical liberal scare-mongering on its news programs, hosting a Washington Post “environmental health” journalist who sounded more like an environmental health activist on a quest for so-called environmental justice, followed by a radical environmentalist, with no dissenting guests and few if any challenging questions posed. First up on Sunday…

PBS's Marx-Quoting 'Conservative' Urges Strikes To Protest Trump
If there were still any questions that PBS is a liberal network in need of defunding, Friday’s News Hour removed any remaining doubts. In a wild segment, host William Brangham preferred the words of the “nonpartisan” League of Women Voters over an anti-Trump law professor who stated the country is not in a constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist and…
