News Hour

Tuesday evening’s PBS News Hour, guest hosted by reporter William Brangham, opened with a full nine-minute segment on the “mistaken” deportation of El Salvadoran illegal immigrant (misleadingly named “Maryland man” by the press) Kilmar Abrego Garcia by reporter Laura Barron-Lopez. Yet that same news outlet -- including in the mix PBS News Weekend -- has spent 0 seconds (the…

In The Atlantic magazine, David Brooks penned a harsh 4,500-word epithet of an essay, “Everything We Once Believed In.” The online headline: “I Should Have Seen This Coming -- When I joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won.”

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour took on yet another unlabeled liberal or Democrat-linked critic of Trump as its guest expert on an issue, this time defending the dubious idea of tax-related privacy rights for illegal immigrants against DOGE’s budget cuts to the IRS and warning the agency could well implode during tax season as a result: "For decades, the IRS encouraged…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks assembled for their weekly airing of grievances on Friday night’s PBS News Hour as they discussed the news that the Trump Administration has reached deals with five top law firms to provide $600 million in pro bono work. Capehart ignored vital details of the deals to claim Trump was…

As much as the CEOs of PBS and NPR claim to Congress they are nonpartisan and unbiased, there are many ways to demonstrate they careen to the Left. Shortly after their House hearing, the leftist Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued their "GLAAD Media Awards" and honored PBS and NPR for completely one-sided promotion of the LGBTQ agenda. 

The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour could hardly contain their excitement over Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour Senate speech denouncing all things Donald Trump. Host Amna Nawaz claimed it “inspired” people, a point echoed by Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, who labeled it “inspiring.” Meanwhile, New York Times columnist David Brooks praised Booker for…

The PBS News Hour on Monday ran two stories grounded in liberal alarmism against the Trump administration’s quest to cut wasteful spending and fraud in the federal government, including at USAID -- the United States Agency for International Development that provides foreign aid and economic development worldwide. The online headline showed how public television has suddenly discovered…

PBS and NPR are shamelessly demonstrating their leftist broadcasting powers in the wake of going to Capitol Hill and lying about how they’re interested in “delivering unbiased, nonpartisan fact-based reporting.” Both networks are now promoting leftist Yale professor and self-anointed fascism experts Jason Stanley to explain why he's leaving for Canada because America is sinking into fascism…

If PBS felt any concern about the hit its reputation for balance took at Wednesday’s devastating DOGE hearings, Thursday’s PBS News Hour didn’t show it. That episode took advantage of a series installed after Donald Trump won a second term, the pompously titled “On Democracy,” to suggest Project 2025 was a threat to democracy. Worse, PBS used that “On Democracy” rubric to enshrine a…

With Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart away, his former colleague Ruth Marcus stepped up to pinch-hit for him on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour. At the end of the discussion with New York Times columnist David Brooks, Marcus claimed the reason she left the Post is because owner Jeff Bezos is trying “to limit dissent” at the paper despite…

People seem to assume that because PBS is dry and somewhat boring, that must also mean it’s also more serious than other news channels. But the truth is, the commentary on shows like NewsHour is as far in crazy left-wing territory as most prime time MSNBC shows, and it’s been this way since at least the 1990s.

Before Wednesday’s congressional testimony from the heads of PBS and NPR in front of the House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency (DOGE), PBS’s flagship news show News Hour offered up some gaslighting on Tuesday evening in defense of the program’s political objectivity and balance -- a laughable proposition to anyone who has watched an episode.

On Wednesday, the House Subcommittee on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) held a hearing featuring the CEOs of National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS amid a new push to achieve a decades-old effort to defund the far-left propaganda outlets that annually see hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.With their federal dollars on the line, NPR’s Katherine Maher and PBS’s Paula Kerger…

PBS News Weekend helped their brethren at NPR promote a podcast series on Sunday in a segment headlined "How online misinformation is ‘supercharging’ conspiracy theories." Podcaster Zach Mack made a three-part podcast on how his conservative Christian father has gone down a "rabbit hole" of conspiracy thinking.
