Trump Ends Harmful LGBTQ Propaganda Voice -- Will PBS Stick With Them?
The Trump administration in June ended a federal partnership with the Trevor Project, a nonprofit that purports to provide suicide-prevention support to supposed LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer-plus) children through the federally funded 988 Lifeline. Callers will now be directed to the main hotline. The Trevor Project bills itself as “the leading suicide prevention and…
PBS’s Anti-Semitism Expert: Columbia Settlement Was ‘Ransom’ to Trump
The taxpayer-defunded PBS News Hour Wednesday retained its hostility (as documented in a Media Research Center study) against the Trump administration protecting Jewish students and faculty from the Hamasniks marauding elite liberal campuses in protest of Israel’s defensive war in Gaza. Wesleyan University president Michael Roth made another News Hour appearance ridiculously…
PBS Warns Of 'Institutional Capture' As Columbia Settles With Trump
Even by its own standards, the weekly Friday news recap featuring PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks was especially tone-deaf and unintelligent. The trio would have you believe that Columbia University settling with the Trump administration is both a threat to universities…
PBS Alone Takes Gabbard Seriously With Full, Flawed Take on Russiagate
While the broadcast networks mostly ignored it, Wednesday’s PBS News Hour devoted a five-and-a-half-minute segment on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s White House briefing on details of the declassification of materials related to “Russiagate,” the investigation of then-candidate Donald Trump’s alleged “collusion” with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Of course, the…
New MSNBC Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez's Greatest Misses at PBS News
Laura Barron-Lopez, perhaps the most biased reporter on the tax-funded PBS News Hour, is bolting to cable network MSNBC, a more appropriate place for her unapologetic liberal slant. Barron-Lopez joined the PBS News Hour as White House correspondent from Politico in June 2022 and quickly established herself as hostile to conservatives, especially defending the…
Brooks Claims PBS Is For Giving Local News To Maine
New York Times columnist and the allegedly conservative half of PBS News Hour’s weekly Friday news recap, David Brooks, unleashed an unintentionally hilarious counterargument to Congress’s decision earlier in the week to rescind federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. According to Brooks, not only is PBS not on the left, but it also provides local news to…
PBS Can't Stop Trashing Argentina’s Triumphant 'Far-Right' Prez Milei
One more reason to defund PBS: Their reporters and researchers have no respect or understanding of libertarianism or libertarian voices (except on issues when libertarian ideology happens to match their own). Just see how PBS has covered Argentina’s president Javier Milei, whose radical reforms since taking office in December 2023 have already born fruit, as inflation, running rampant when…
PBS's Last Gasp: Save Public Media for the Safety of Remote Alaska
On Monday evening, hours before the U.S. Senate passed 51-48 President Trump’s rescission proposal to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which would end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR, guest host William Brangham hosted Tom Abbott, general manager of…
PBS CEO Pops Up Hours After NPR Boss, Claims Zero Evidence of Bias
On Wednesday afternoon, it wasn’t a shock that PBS CEO Paula Kerger surfaced on CNN for an interview soaked in elitist condescension and lies, just hours after Katherine Maher of NPR did the same. Both appeared as $1 billion in government funding is on the chopping block ahead of a possible Senate vote. The worst part was at the end with Kerger claiming she doesn’t see any basis in “an…
David Brooks Tribute: Gergen Was 'A Good PBS Conservative Like Me'
Friday night’s PBS News Hour tribute to former presidential adviser and former News Hour “conservative voice” David Gergen, who died July 10 at the age of 83, demonstrates how mild, center-left political personas have long been the only flavor of "conservatism" that taxpayer-funded PBS can tolerate. (And if the descriptions of Gergen reminds you of another journalist playing…
PBS News Hour Weirdly Defends Homeless Encampments in California
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour show intro set the tone on an upcoming segment on California finally taking action to stop intrusive, unsightly, and potentially dangerous homeless encampments infesting his liberal state, with co-host Amna Nawaz talking of “California`s controversial crackdown on homeless encampments” before a clip of a UCLA scholar saying “criminalizing homelessness” will…
Will GOP Senators Consider How PBS and NPR Gently Promote the DNC?
One easy way to see how NPR and PBS are taxpayer-funded Democrat Party platforms is to witness their recent interviews with the chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin. Neither turned to touchy internal issues, specifically the brief career of David Hogg as a DNC leader. The questions seemed geared to this: How do we win? Will Senate Republicans consider this on the…
PBS's Sudden Respect for Limited Government, On Increased ICE Spending
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour showed more strange respect to a limited-government organization, the libertarian Cato Institute, when their views were in sympathy with the anti-deportation crusade of PBS News. White House correspondent Laura Barron–Lopez broke down the “more than $160 billion that are going to immigration enforcement and the deportation operation.”
'It's Shameful': PBS Bemoans State Department Cuts
The cast of PBS News Hour came together on Friday to decry the “shameful” nature of that day’s layoffs at the State Department. While New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart would claim the move would negatively impact U.S. foreign policy, their reasons for doing so were not convincing.
