PolitiFact Pleases PBS: Democrat Convention Much More Factual Than RNC

PBS’s Barron-Lopez Eats Up ‘Kamala Cake’ and DNC ‘Palpable Excitement’
While covering Night One of the Democratic convention from Chicago, PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez was as energized as a Democratic delegate (or PBS’s introductory voiceover to its coverage), gushing over a “Kamala Cake” featured by a local bakery and relaying the “palpable enthusiasm” from the convention floor. Barron-Lopez, who usually covers the White House, was quite…

PBS’s Get-Out-Vote Drive for Dems Continues: Is Muslim Mayor Aboard?
The PBS News Hour on Wednesday continued to act as a get-out-the-vote movement for the Harris/Walz Democratic presidential campaign, with the second guest appearance on the program of Abdullah Hahmoud, the Democratic Muslim mayor of Dearborn, Michigan.

PBS: Black Women in GA Fuel Harris Camp Vs. 'Sexist, Racist Remarks'

PBS Defends Walz From 'Pouncing' Trump, Suggests He's 'More Moderate'
After the Kamala Harris campaign named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a cozy interview with his fellow Minnesota pol, Sen.
