PBS Drops New Euphemism for Illegals: 'People Without Legal Status'
The PBS News Hour aggressively, almost amusingly avoided the term “illegal” to describe illegal immigrants in Friday’s story on President Trump’s call for a new U.S. Census that would not count illegal immigrants, a move that would change the recorded population of various states and perhaps result in fewer members in the congressional delegation of some states with high illegal-…
PBS Attacks 'Corrosion of Democracy' As Texas Redistricts
New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart were greatly disturbed on Friday’s PBS News Hour at Texas’s mid-decade redistricting efforts, calling them part of the “corrosion of democracy” and “cheating by legal means,” and insist this is something worse than standard gerrymandering.
Texas-Obsessed PBS Totally Ignores Dems Side of House Gerrymander Wars
A redistricting arms race? Texas Republicans' plan to redraw the congressional map and eliminate five Democratic-held U.S. House seats, which would help the GOP retain control of the House in next year's midterm elections, sent Democrats in the Texas legislature fleeing to Illinois and New York to avoid a sufficient “quorum” in the chamber to vote on the measure. The spat led off Monday…
PBS's Israel Hostility Culminates in 13-Minute Inflammatory Segment
Over the last several months, the PBS News Hour has aired seemingly endless hits against Israel, blaming the invaded country for blocking food aid, even purposefully killing hundreds of innocent Gazans lining up for aid at distribution sites in Gaza they are feeding the enemy (while also being accused of genocide against that same enemy). That slant toward believing the worst about…
'Why Have People Not Risen Up?': Brooks Praises Harris on Colbert Show
New York Times columnist and the allegedly conservative half of Friday’s PBS News Hour’s weekly news recap, David Brooks, praised former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview with Stephen Colbert and agreed with her that “civic capitulation” to President Trump is “a real thing.” Meanwhile, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart explained he quit his job at The Washington…
PBS's Anti-Israel Omissions on Gaza Hunger, Hamas Health Ministry
The PBS News Hour’s bizarre post-October 7 enmity toward Israel has blared bright the last few days, eager to portray Israel, fighting for existence against a soulless enemy, Hamas, as a cruel invader purposely starving Gaza’s infants. PBS’s coverage of late has been guilty of bias by omission, spewing phony figures and hunger anecdotes from the Hamas-controlled “Health Ministry”…
Years After BLM, Antifa, COVID, Masks Are Bad Now That ICE Uses Them
Years after the Black Lives Matter protests and attendant vandalism, looting and burning, the PBS news division is suddenly worried that masks….help people get away with crimes! Why the sudden interest? Well, it’s a way to indirectly fault ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for criminals impersonating agents. Sunday’s NewsHour Weekend segment carried the online headline “Rise…
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…
