News Hour

In the latest example of a tax-funded media outlet blurring obvious biological lines for ideological purposes, PBS News Weekend’s Saturday edition celebrated a Montana teen, “assigned female at birth,” who started taking puberty blockers at 14 and “feels a connection to masculinity.” Host John Yang introduced the segment on Montana “banning certain medical treatments for minors with…

PBS “communities correspondent” Adam Kemp authored a report Wednesday from Oklahoma City for the PBS NewsHour website, alarmed that the state of Oklahoma is officially insisting upon biological reality, as opposed to transgender-centered identity propaganda: “This new Oklahoma executive order narrowly defines ‘woman.’” Tax-supported PBS has shown no interest in providing a balanced…

A segment on the supposedly “inhumane treatment” of would-be migrants along the Texas-Mexico border under Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s program “Operation Lone Star,” which aired on the PBS NewsHour Wednesday evening, was a perfect example of the taxpayer-funded network’ coverage of current events.

So just what was then-president Trump thinking when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in early January 2021, and asked him to “find 11,780 votes” in Georgia, which if really there, would have put Trump over Biden in the close Georgia race? NewsHour congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins seemed confident she knew just what Trump was thinking in her Tuesday evening…

Overreact much? The PBS News Weekend show set off klaxon alarms Sunday evening about the pseudo-constitutional concept of "separation of church and state," based on the establishment of an online Catholic charter school in Oklahoma, the first publicly funded religious charter school in the nation. Host John Yang introduced his segment under a graphic that read “Church and State.”

On Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez acted as mouthpiece for the Biden administration to trumpet the so-called success of Bidenomics, tied to the president’s recent campaign trek to Milwaukee marking the anniversary of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. For this partially taxpayer-funded report, Barron-Lopez cited the Democratic vice-president…

Republicans were angry that the Biden Justice Department "promoted" David Weiss to Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. But PBS (and NPR's legal reporter) didn't think House Republicans were worth quoting or mentioning.

The Thursday evening PBS NewsHour showcased the latest attack on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with a two-pronged attack, hosting Joel Anderson of the Slate podcast "Slow Burn" and Brett Murphy from ProPublica to talk about that outlet’s latest glossy attack on the conservative Supreme Court justice. Using ProPublica’s obsessive scoops as ammunition, PBS has…

Reacting to the news that David Weiss has been appointed special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart lamented to Friday’s PBS NewsHour that Fox News has feed its viewers a “anti-Biden family diet” over the past few years.

Another Biden family payment scandal meant another goose egg of coverage on public television’s flagship evening news program the PBS NewsHour. On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer released records detailing payments Biden family members have received from oligarchs in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. The revelations were predictably ignored by the “big three”…

After three and a half years, there’s still no immunity from COVID hysteria at the New York Times or PBS NewsHour. A slight, predictable summer uptick in COVID cases (up from very low levels) caused a mini-frenzy in the liberal media, which were always eager to enjoin citizens to “mask up” and get their umpteenth booster shot while shunning other people. Both outlets relied on…

Two publicly funded media outlets, National Public Radio and the PBS NewsHour, sponsored a Marist poll to find out how Republicans feel about an issue the press has decided is urgent -- “climate change.” To their horror, it found Republicans would rather preserve living standards for humans rather than throw their money at somehow stopping the temperature from rising. NPR’s…

The PBS NewsHour is once again indulging the apocalyptic fears of residents of the liberal bubble (i.e. their viewing audience) with a full segment on the psychological woes wrought by…climate change. On Sunday’s edition of the tax-supported program, anchor John Yang interviewed a “climate psychology therapist” over this rather niche, first-world woe.

PBS NewsHour’s weekly recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart began with a discussion on, of all things, Republican attitudes towards climate change. During the discussion, Brooks, the supposedly conservative half of the duo, reduced oil drilling to a simple way of Republicans to offend elite…
