News Hour

During Monday afternoon’s coverage of President Trump’s second inauguration, the co-anchors of the coverage, PBS News Hour hosts Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz, were disturbed on ex-President Biden’s behalf by the prominent seating of corporate tech chieftains, and repeated Biden’s hypocritical warning about a rising Trumpian “oligarchy."

PBS News’s coverage of Donald Trump’s second inauguration featured PBS News Hour co-anchors Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz and included Laura Barron-Lopez, stationed at the White House. Barron-Lopez, as always, was a reliable defender of the Democratic president, adopting a pro-Democratic double standard on the last-minute pre-emptive family pardons issued by Joe Biden, an…

During the Biden era’s final installment of Brooks and Capehart on Friday’s PBS News Hour, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart sought to rebut New York Times columnist David Brooks’s assertion that Donald Trump’s election shows Joe Biden failed to protect democracy. Instead, Capehart argued it was the voters who “gave up on democracy” and wanted to “…

President Biden's farewell address included some sour grapes about “an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power,” after Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump. But taxpayer-funded PBS didn’t see any hyperbole in its special coverage of Biden’s speech, only fair warnings about the incoming Trump administration. 

As Donald Trump takes office for the second time,taxpayer-funded PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, on Monday used the upcoming Senate confirmation hearings for Pete Hegseth to once again throw a bunch of sexual-related accusations at prominent Republicans. But first, co-anchor Geoff Bennett poisoned the waters against Hegseth as well.

Friday’s edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic played defense for the Democratic Party in California over the raging wildfires that have destroyed tens of thousands of acres and thousands of houses, with one panelist in particular taking the time to chiding Trump and call Republicans liars for daring to point out the obvious failures of human response. 

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart did a touchdown dance of sorts on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he celebrated Donald Trump’s “great punishment” of being formally sentenced to unconditional discharge that history “will have to” mention.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s startling announcement that his company’s Facebook and Instagram sites would drop its censorious fact-checking process scared the press and leftist academics, who would no longer be able to use pseudo-scientific concepts like “misinformation” to silence conservative debate on issues like COVID, radical Islam, Black Lives Matter, and “climate change.” Tuesday’s…

PBS News Weekend blamed Fox News and “far right” websites for the Capitol Hill riot (or as both PBS and their NPR guests insisted, “insurrection”) on a news segment Sunday evening, the eve of the fourth anniversary of that terrible day in the nation’s capital. NPR's Lauren Hodges spoke of the rioters: “They had an eagerness to see some violence or participate in it.” Which makes it…

Both the PBS News Hour and PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable Washington Week in Review used the new 199^th Congress and Rep. Mike Johnson narrowly winning the vote to become Speaker of the House to break out their biased labeling tricks. Washington Week moderator and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg (along with contributors Leigh Ann Caldwell and David Ignatius of…

PBS News Hour’s first weekly recap featuring Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks of the new year concluded with the duo taking turns singing the praises of former President Jimmy Carter and “the glow around him.” While one might have expected the liberal Capehart to say such things, the supposedly conservative Brooks failed to even…

The hagiography of President Jimmy Carter, who died on Sunday at age 100, continued Monday evening on the tax-funded PBS News Hour. The online headline summarized: “A look at Carter’s accomplishments as president and his legacy as a human rights champion.” President Ronald Reagan certainly didn’t get that treatment for ending the Cold War by pushing the Soviets into the dustbin of…

The PBS partnership with the liberal "fact checkers" at PolitiFact was celebrated on Christmas with a seven-minute promotional segment for their "Lie of the Year" award, granted to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for Trump's claim Haitian migrants were "eating the pets" in Springfield, Ohio. They didn't prove that, but PBS made no attempt to question the liberal tilt of PolitiFact in 2024 --…

The Monday edition of the PBS News Hour gave an early Christmas gift to the outgoing Biden administration by openly embracing Biden’s controversial commutation of the sentences of 37 federal death row prisoners to life in prison, responsible in whole or part of over 50 murders, by …
