News Hour

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evie, joined PBS News Hour on Monday to promote their new cookbook and discuss his approach to The Late Show. Colbert told Amna Nawaz that he will not welcome “disingenuous” politicians to his show, but not only is that not true, “disingenuous” might as well be Colbert’s way of saying “Republicans.”

Taxpayer-supported PBS again failed its own congressionally mandated test to “provide objectivity and balance” when covering issues. PBS News Weekend this Sunday featured a spokesman for a liberal scientific advocacy organization as its only guest to feed liberal fear-mongering about Project 2025. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an activist group that does not “stick to…

On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, anchor Geoff Bennett seemed bugged that the large and influential Teamsters union (representing truckers) wasn’t falling in line with other unions and endorsing the liberal Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz: "So you said one of the reasons why the Teamsters are withholding an endorsement is because neither candidate was able to make serious…

For all of the media odes to Kamala Harris and her “joy,” the Friday edition of PBS News Hour may have been the most effusive. New York Times columnist David Brooks declared “it’s just who she is,” host Geoff Bennett mused about “attacks on her joyful warrior approach,” and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed “she is the culture.”

The taxpayer-supported PBS News Hour threw around accusations of hate and racism against the Republican presidential ticket in two segments Tuesday evening, for daring to amplify complaints from the residents of Springfield, Ohio regarding the influx of Haitians into their city, putting stresses on social services and residential quality of life. Anchor Amna Nawaz: It's been a week…

The badly disguised Democrats at PBS are having a hard time with this second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. They barely passed over it on Sunday night, and on Monday night, News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz and NPR reporter Tamara Keith savaged Trump-Vance again for demonizing Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. 

After bashing Donald Trump nonstop for spreading various conspiracy theories, the PBS News Hour seemed quite comfortable spreading its own election conspiracies on Thursday evening, going beyond even MSNBC in suggesting that Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (retained by the Biden administration) could somehow be fostering ballot delivery delays to help Trump win election…

The PBS News Hour relished the presidential debate between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, who they believe was fact-checked into oblivion and who succumbed to Harris’s baiting tactics. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett loved that “the former president was repeatedly fact-checked for inaccuracies” by ABC News’s hopelessly hostile moderators, before throwing the…

PBS’s coverage of Tuesday night’s Trump-Harris debate included live fact-checking from its partner PolitiFact, which has racked up a liberally slanted record. But when Harris falsely claimed Trump had promised a “bloodbath,” no one at PBS or PolitiFact corrected her. PBS has made the same fake claim on numerous occasions. Then it was on to abortion, when Donald Trump claimed “radical”…

PBS News Weekend again hosted Melissa Deckman, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, a decidedly left-wing polling firm, to talk about voting patterns among “Generation Z.” But there were no ideological labels for Deckman on tax-funded PBS on Sunday, even as she forwarded optimistic views of the youth (Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012) flocking to Democratic policies…

Beware when PBS brings on a "nonpartisan" expert on election integrity, and no one mentions Kamala Harris at all. On the September 3 PBS NewsHour, deeply biased White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez brought on David Becker for a segment titled "How Trump has made election lies a key feature of his campaign." But this wasn't just about Trump denying he lost the election in 2020. 

Hunter Biden’s shocking guilty plea in a California courtroom on Thursday led to a more shocking network-news result. ABC, CBS, and NBC all led their evening newscasts with Hunter’s plea. Between them, the Big Three aired more than eight minutes of coverage. PBS only gave it 54 seconds in a segment mostly about Trump's legal problems.

On Tuesday, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, and PBS reported Kathy Sun, an aide to New York Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, was arrested under suspicion of spying for communist China. The word "Democrat" was not uttered, as is often the case in Democrat-related scandal stories. You could see a (D) briefly under Hochul's name on screen on ABC. 

Taxpayer-supported PBS snuck in some old-fashioned Democratic politicking under the guise of a soft Labor Day feature from the Minnesota State Fair, that just happened to have been blessed with a visit from off the campaign trail (yeah, right!) by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate: Anchor John Yang: "The Minnesota State Fair draws more daily visitors than any other state…
