News Hour

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured veteran journalist Judy Woodruff cheering on an obsessive group of “citizen investigators” who have teamed up with the media’s favorite domestic surveillance organization to turn in people who entered the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021: “How citizen investigators are helping the FBI track down Jan. 6 rioters.” One suspects…

Taxpayer-supported PBS again showed its ongoing hostility toward Israel in its war in Gaza against the terrorist group Hamas on Wednesday’s night episode of the NewsHour. The initial sympathy the NewsHour showed for Israel’s plight after the brutal October 7 invasion has been replaced by endless doomsaying over unavoidable civilian casualties in a war where one side, Hamas,…

It's always a surprise when David Brooks actually fights with Jonathan Capehart on the Friday night panel on the PBS NewsHour. But he denounced Maine's Democrat Secretary of State taking Donald Trump off the primary ballot, saying it was not just a "terrible decision," but an "even worse threat to democracy" than Colorado's Supreme Court ripping Trump off the ballot. 

On Christmas Eve, PBS News Weekend found the publicly-funded outlet pushing that old "war on poverty" agenda that not even other networks are covering: homelessness. This used to be a larger issue for PBS and the press, which was at home criticizing Republican presidents for people on the street during the late 1980s, blaming Reagan and Bush. But blame for Biden was brushed…

Neal Katyal, former Obama administration acting U.S. Solicitor General and now frequent pro-Democratic MSNBC guest, was the partisan choice of Wednesday evening’s PBS NewsHour as its sole expert opinion-giver on the controversial ruling by the Democratic-majority of the Colorado Supreme Court to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot in 2024, under the U.S.…

It was a triple-liberal-team up against Donald Trump on Tuesday’s edition of the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour with an interview segment headlined online, “How media organizations are facing the task of covering Trump’s anti-democratic rhetoric.” (Ironically, the segment on the dangers Trump posed to democracy was introduced with news that Trump had been removed from the ballot in…

Slot him into the media’s “Strange New Respect for Religion” category: Pope Francis, beloved by liberals for his “progressive” tack toward the LGBTQ movement -- and hostility toward conservative Catholics. PBS Weekend was the latest to genuflect toward the “social reform” minded (i.e. liberal-pleasing) pontiff on Saturday.

In a surprising development, PBS NewsHour’s Friday weekly news recap featured almost a debate between New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus on House Republicans formally approving an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden with the former wondering what the big deal is and the latter labeling it a “shameful misuse of the…

On Wednesday's PBS NewsHour, host William Brangham neutrally noted the launch by House Republicans of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden. But PBS fell short with its partisan pick for an expert “impeachment expert” to explain things: "One of the embarrassing things that happened at that last hearing is, it became obvious to everybody that there was no evidence of…

Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured disturbing equivocation about the Hamas slogan "from the river to the sea," a reference to the eradication of Israel. Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez made her own offensive statement. Both Jews and Hamas-adjacent anti-Semites know what it means when pro-Palestinian mobs shout “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” but Barron-Lopez…

It seems like every leftist network has welcomed Alberta to trash conservative Christians through his latest book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism. Alberta wrote this book to argue that Trump-supporting Christians are apostates and enemies of democracy. They are polarizing extremists. And what, by contrast, is the libertine left?

The taxpayer-funded PBS NewsHour show on Thursday once again smuggled in left-wing propaganda in its “Brief But Spectacular” feature which occasionally appears at the ends of shows, sometimes a “black queer” poet to soften the hard-edged policies being advocated. This week it was prison abolition with a racial edge under the online rubric “A Brief But Spectacular take on how to…

Taxpayer-funded PBS relayed unverified sob stories about the release of Palestinian prisoners by Israel as part of its truce with Hamas terrorists, while letting a pro-Palestinian lie about tolerance of Jews in Arab countries go unchallenged, on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour. Schifrin sympathized with Nawaf Al-Salaima, the father of the rock-thrower: "So, how, sir, in your…

With Hunter Biden being charged with multiple tax-related felonies, the cast of Friday’s PBS NewsHour wanted to emphasize what it considered the main takeaway “the indictment does not in any way implicate President Joe Biden.”
