After Virginia Loss, PBS Asks 'Are Republicans Rigging The System'
After the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the state’s redistricting referendum violated the state constitution on Firday, PBS News Hour host Amna Nawaz parroted California Gov. Gavin Newsom by asking The Altantic staff writer David Brooks and The New Yorker contributor Ruth Marcus if Republicans are “rigging the system."
PBS's Foltyn Again Avoids Hezbollah Crimes, Accuses IDF of 'Massacres'
Does PBS have a problem with Israel? Its recent treatment of Iran-backed, Israel-targeting Hezbollah terrorists suggests so. On Tuesday’s PBS News Hour, Beirut-based special correspondent Simona Foltyn once again focused solely on unavoidable civilian casualties caused by vengeful Israel, with no mention of Hezbollah’s history of terrorist violence or its consistent breaking of…
Safe for Whom? Amanpour Show Touts Abortion Pills as 'Safe' 12 TIMES
Abortion proponents love to claim abortion pills are "safe," but for whom? It's not "safe" for the baby being killed. One half of the humans involved in abortion are utterly dehumanized, not even considered in the safety equation. On the PBS show Amanpour & Co., guest host Bianna Golodryga and her abortion-lobbyist guest touted the pills as "safe" (and typically "safe and…
PBS Defends Forest Service Bureaucracy From Reform With Sob Stories
Monday’s PBS News Hour pushed the sympathy buttons and employed scare tactics to protect yet another government agency threatened by Trump-era reform and budget cuts, the U.S. Forest Service. Reporter William Brangham implied federal employees deserve to be shielded from harsh job cuts, in a way American workers in the private sector have not.
PBS Student Journalists Find ‘Queer Joy’ in Columbia, Missouri
The subject line to the email read “What do you call a pair of drag queens from Missouri?” The text began: “This week, Maggie welcomes to the stage Alexa Pro and Artemis Gray, two young drag queens holding down the scene in rural Missouri. Discover the grit and tenacity behind this thriving queer oasis in the heart of the Show Me state!” LGBTQ Nation, perhaps? Nope: The story is from the PBS…
Only ABC and PBS Reported Briefly on Leftist 'May Day Strong' Protests
After the way the networks have energetically promoted the "No Kings" protests during Trump's second term, it was surprising that only ABC and PBS mentioned the affiliated May Day protests on Friday night. CBS, NBC, and even NPR featured no story. Even the stories that aired didn't carry hot soundbites against Trump or capitalism.
Capehart Insists Assassination Attempt Was Just Common Gun Violence
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart had a rough Friday night on PBS News Hour. For one thing, he got triggered when the usually amenable The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks pointed out that progressives are more likely to support political violence than conservatives, which hurt his ability to argue the Saturday assassination attempt against President Trump was just another…
PBS Turns to Brian Stelter to Shriek About Trump's 'Authoritarian' FCC
The die-hard Trump haters at the PBS News Hour rushed to the defense of their First Amendment hero Jimmy Kimmel by turning on Tuesday night to CNN's Brian Stelter again for liberal talking points. No conservative was invited, and there were no questions about Kimmel making wisecracks about President Trump dying.
Nightly Newscasts OMIT Major DoJ Charges Against Mexican Officials
The Elitist Media Evening News hid a major story from the American public on Wednesday night, by failing to report on the indictment of 10 senior officials from the Mexican state of Sinaloa- home of the major drug cartel once headed by “El Chapo” Guzman. This omitted story has major ramifications on both sides of the border and with regard to our national security.
Forget the Shooting! PBS Horrified Trump Would Go 'Very Hard' on Press
Anchor Amna Nawaz’s introduction to Monday evening’s regular PBS News Hour political discussion confirmed conservative beliefs that the elitist mainstream press is unbendingly hostile to Donald Trump, even after the third attempt on the president’s life in less than two years.
PBS Sees Loathing of GOP in AZ: Voters 'Livid,' House Dems May Be +3
Yvonne Wingett Sanchez of The Atlantic was the star of the latest episode of the journalist roundtable Washington Week. After moderator (and Sanchez boss) Jeffrey Goldberg introduced the program with the dubious claim that “Iran is in the driver’s seat in the Gulf,” among other debatable anti-Trump declarations, he pivoted to Sanchez, a Phoenix-based reporter making her …
PBS RIPS Israel's UN Ambassador, Suggests They Aim to Kill Journalists
This sounds like a joke. But the PBS News Hour is far softer in interviewing a spokesman for the terrorist group Hezbollah than they are with Israel, which they treat like a terrorist group. On Thursday, anchor Geoff Bennett pulled out rhetorical boxing gloves for Danny Danon, Israel’s UN ambassasdor, about killing civilians and journalists.
On CNN & PBS, Amanpour Plays Up Idea of Trump's 'Superpower Suicide'
On CNN International and later on PBS, Tehran-raised Christiane Amanpour demonstrated she was very enamored of Trump-hating Yale history professor Timothy Snyder's phrase "superpower suicide" to explain what Trump is doing in the foreign policy arena. Funny, I thought giving pallets of cash to a "Death To America" Islamist regime so they could build nuclear weapons looked more like suicide.…
PBS's Simona Foltyn Strikes Again in Softball Interview with Hezbollah
Simona Foltyn, a Middle East-based “special correspondent” for the PBS News Hour, conducted a shamefully soft interview of a senior official of the Iran-backed anti-Israel terrorist group Hezbollah for Tuesday, after previously fawning over the terrorist group while interviewing figures less directly related to Hezbollah. Foltyn worked for the Arab news network Al-Jazeera English from…
