PBS or DNC? NewsHour Host Honors Liz Cheney and Her Dictator Doom
Is it the PBS NewsHour or the DNC NewsHour? Many nights, you couldn't tell the difference. Co-host Amna Nawaz interviewed Liz Cheney on Thursday, and she was just like NPR's Leila Fadel in merely facilitating all of Cheney's Republican-ripping talking points from her new book. Republican tax dollars are used to trash Republicans.

PBS Provides PR for Planned Parenthood: '7,000 Fewer Abortions' Is Bad
The taxpayer-supported PBS News Weekend show on Saturday provided some helpful PR for the abortion megaplex Planned Parenthood. It’s been a favorite source for pro-abortion alarmist takes ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. As usual with PBS, there are no voices raised to celebrate saving infant lives, but a single-minded focus on the lost…

PBS Wokesters Look Out for Hawaii’s ‘Local Menstruators’ (AKA Women)
Thursday’s PBS NewsHour tackled the concerns of “local menstruators” in Hawaii, a story that fused the tax-funded outlet’s search for niche necessities that require government funding with its ongoing attempt to defy science and pretend humans other than biological women get periods. It’s the latest “period piece” from tax-funded PBS, whose long anti-scientific advocacy for the “…

PBS, NPR Guest Put ‘X’ on Suicide Watch: ‘Increasingly Unhinged’ Musk
The liberal media knives are out for entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has been steering the liberal-dominated blue-check bastion social media platform formerly known as Twitter toward free speech and increased diversity of opinion since taking it over. Thursday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour devoted almost six minutes to attacking the space and technology impresario. The conversation…

Column: Worrying About Joe Biden Getting 'Credit' on PBS
One way you know that most journalists are Democrats is their energetic work presenting about 37 ways the Republican Party may collapse into rubble in the near future, versus their cautious beating around bushes about problems the Democratic Party may have -- but maybe they’ll all vanish.

PBS: Trump ‘Would Turn Presidency Into Dictatorship’ If Left on Ballot
As part of its endless cycle of being scandalized by Donald Trump, PBS NewsHour correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed liberal Harvard professor Laurence Tribe to explain how apparently wrong it was for a judge to rule Trump was eligible to be on the 2024 ballot in Colorado. PBS renewed its recent habit of using a single source to amplify a fringe liberal or anti-Trump argument…

Taxpayer-Funded PBS, NPR Promote Brian Stelter's New Fox-Trashing Book
Taxpayer-funded PBS and NPR loathe Fox News like all leftists do, and both promoted ex-CNN host Brian Stelter's second Fox-bashing book Network of Lies. Stelter hit his usual point about how Trump's a dangerous authoritarian, but he thinks it's a "very extremist posture" for Fox to "routinely assail Democrats as the enemy."

Brooks Plays Dumb On 'From The River To The Sea' Chants
New York Times columnist and PBS NewsHour Friday weekly news recapper David Brooks claimed he isn't sure progressives know what they are talking about when they chant “from the river to the sea.” Whether Brooks actually has no idea or is playing dumb doesn’t really matter, PBS viewers deserve a better conservative perspective.

PBS Turns to Al-Jazeera Vet to Promote, Repeat Hezbollah-Linked Pundit
On Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, “special correspondent” Simona Foltyn questioned Gen. Abbas Ibrahim, a former Lebanese intelligence official with close ties to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group designated as a terrorist group by the United States. Foltyn worked for the virulently anti-Israel outlet Arab news network Al-Jazeera English from 2019 to 2021 (on the…

After 'Vermin' Remark, PBS Finds Historian for 'Trump Is Hitler' Talk
The Monday evening PBS NewsHour starred recurring guest, New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat, using Trump's harsh campaign rhetoric at a rally on Veteran’s Day to compare the former president to Hitler. (With the far-left’s public anti-semitic behavior of late, some are cheekily tempted to ask if being compared to Hitler is a good thing or a bad thing on the left.) Ben-Ghiat…

PBS: Go Vasectomies! Birth Control Not Just For ‘People With Uteruses'
After the PBS News Hour aired a story on “How climate change risks impact people with disabilities,” they offered another niche left-wing cultural selection on Saturday’s PBS News Weekend, courtesy of St. Louis-based PBS “community correspondent” Gabrielle Hays, about a spike in men supposedly rushing out to get vasectomies after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade…

PBS Pushes Democrat-Led SCOTUS ‘Ethics’ Reform: ‘What's the Holdup?'
The PBS NewsHour once again pushed the liberal crusade against conservative Supreme Court justices even as the issues has fallen off the map at other outlets. PBS is part of the matrix of liberal pressure groups, including ProPublica, aiming to hem in the conservative Supreme Court, as its decisions have turned against the left’s decades of gains, made on the cheap under an activist…

Brooks Mourns People Don't Differentiate Fatah, Hamas Terrorism
As the Biden Administration starts to go wobbly on the Israel-Hamas War with its efforts to turn four-hour temporary pauses to multiday pauses, New York Times columnist and PBS NewsHour’s supposedly conservative Friday pundit praised Biden, saying “he’s done quite well.” At the same time, Brooks mourned people don’t differentiate between the types of terrorism Hamas and Fatah…

PBS Puts Onus on Israeli Victims: ‘Carrots’ for Hamas to Free Hostages
One way to demonstrate the slant in PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war is to compare and contrast how their interviewers treat representatives of the respective sides. On Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour, reporter Leila Molana-Allen conducted a friendly interview with Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, which represents the West Bank, and who…
