News Hour

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks gathered for their regularly scheduled weekly news recap on PBS NewsHour on Friday by welcoming the failure of Rep. Jim Jordan to become Speaker of the House.

On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour concerning an errant Palestinian rocket that landed near a hospital in the Gaza Strip and killed many, show host Amna Nawaz offensively attempted to leave the question of responsibility open: Could the untrustworthy Israeli military still be blamed for the bombing? Nawaz talked to National Security Adviser Jon Finer and led off with the…

While some media outlets -- especially "public broadcasters" -- eschew using the word "terrorist" to describe Hamas and Islamic Jihad, PBS and NBC and MSNBC were enjoying describing Jim Jordan as a "terrorist," because bitter former Speaker John Boehner smeared him in 2021.

On Tuesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour, host Amna Nawaz of the tax-supported public broadcasting show offensively compared the Trump family separation at the border to Japanese internment camps during World War II and even slavery. She was discussing a settlement proposed by the Biden administration that would reward migrant families broken up at the border during the Trump years…

CAIR, the Council for American-Islamic Relations, is an Islamic pressure group masquerading as a Muslim civil rights organization. The Hamas massacre in Israel has brought it back in the news on the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour – but not for its previously documented links to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. No, the PBS producers somehow thought it was a good idea to book an…

After perhaps 48 hours of sympathy for Israel after the anti-Jewish pogrom by Hamas, the pivot in the mainstream, pro-Palestinian press is afoot. The PBS NewsHour team demonstrated offensive moral equivalency in a special one-hour report on Friday, War in the Middle East, with host Amna Nawaz in Tel Aviv. According to the opening narration, October 7 is a day of horror for…

President Joe Biden managed to clear the lowest of low bars this week by not joining in with the radical left’s attempts to defend or add “context” to Hamas’s savage attack on Israel, but still, this led New York Times columnist David Brooks to hail the idea that “this was one of Joe Biden's best weeks as president” on Friday’s PBS NewsHour.

The PBS NewsHour interviewed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday night about Israel, Ukraine, and the Republican failure to elect a new Speaker of the House. Co-host Geoff Bennett asked Jeffries nothing that might be embarrassing to the Democrats -- nothing about Jamaal Bowman, or Bob Menendez, or Rashida Tlaib, or Team Biden financially enabling Iran to aid Hamas. 

On Tuesday, the tax-funded PBS NewsHour feted Democrat Hillary Clinton, now a professor at Columbia University at the new Institute of Global Politics. She was also the losing Democratic presidential in 2016 candidate, and PBS commiserated with her with the “trauma” of losing an election to a Republican, while tarring the Trump-led GOP as extremists and letting the president himself…

The taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has a federally mandated obligation to deliver an objective take on public affairs. Yet a new Media Research Center study finds PBS’s flagship NewsHour program aired nine times more coverage in favor of the left-wing "woke" position on so-called "LGBTQ" issues compared to more traditional positions, while 95% of in-studio…

The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour program caught up to the second Republican presidential debate on Thursday evening and predictably characterized it as a sad mess. One of the paper’s most Republican-hostile reporters, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, pounced on some of the Republican responses and fact-checked them after the fact, in keeping with the show’s progressive…

Even on a newscast preceding that night’s GOP presidential debate, the tax-supported PBS NewsHour kept its focus on former president Donald Trump, inviting former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on to promote her book, Enough, about her traumatic experiences in the Trump White House and how dangerous it would be for Trump to win a second term of office. You may remember…

California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein was a liberal stalwart who took up extreme positions against Second Amendment rights and harmful environmental policies. But when it was announced on Friday that she had passed away overnight, the liberal media choir joined their voices to gaslight Americans and falsely proclaim her a “centrist Democrat” who simply leaned towards “liberal…

The "public" broadcasting elite loathes Fox News. When news broke that 92-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Fox News founder and chairman of News Corp, is stepping down in favor of his son Lachlan, that encouraged tax-funded PBS to trot out Murdoch-bashing journalist David Folkenflik of tax-funded National Public Radio on Thursday evening to lament the chairman’s "corrosive" right-…
