PBS: Will Brown-Skin Voter ‘Get Shot in Parking Lot’ at Polls by ICE?
This week’s Washington Week with The Atlantic hailed from Austin, Texas, the liberal heart of the state, before a live studio audience with presumably Democratic sympathies (much like the show’s television audience). A major theme of the discussion: The positive prospects of the state’s Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Texas State Rep. James Talarico, neck and neck in polls with the…
Amanpour Decides to 'Separate' from CNN After Merger
Longtime CNN correspondent and host Christiane Amanpour responded to CNN's merger into Skydance by announcing she was "separating" from CNN (and by extension PBS), following through on her commitments that wrap up next June. She is a natural candidate to walk away now that "good old days" of leftist bias might be waning.
PBS Hypes New Doc As 'An Act Of Resistance' To Trump
PBS’s Michel Martin welcomed the father-daughter duo of Director David Greaves and Producer Liana Greaves to Friday’s edition of Amanpour and Company to promote their new documentary, Once Upon a Time in Harlem, about the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. However, Martin wasn’t just interested in discussing the history. She had to find a way to make it about President Trump, which David and…
'Long' Time: PBS News Hour Hid Its Inflation Expert During Biden Era
PBS joined the other networks in negatively spinning the official inflation numbers, which were comparatively tame compared to inflation during the Biden years. Former Washington Post columnist turned Navy Federal Credit Union economist Heather Long popped up again on Wednesday’s PBS News Hour to discuss the latest inflation report. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett led the show by filtering the figures…
PBS Sells Book by Liberal Author: How Bureaucrats Defeated Musk, DOGE
The PBS News Hour fell over itself to highlight a new book by liberal author Michael Lewis painting the federal bureaucracy's triumph over the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), once run by the press’s Public Enemy No. 2, space and electric car entrepreneur Elon Musk. who they noted was the #1 GOP donor this year.
PBS Host Frames Talarico Absence: How Does He Fight 'Misinformation'?
Monday’s weekly political roundtable on the PBS News Hour sounded like the typical Republicans Are Losing hootenanny. The online headline was “Tamara Keith and Amy Walter on the GOP's vulnerability in the midterms.” But the eye-opening part was anchor Geoff Bennett trying to paper over Texas Democrat James Talarico’s absence from the campaign trail.
PBS Slimes Elon Musk and His ‘Darkest Hard-Right Policy Prescriptions’
Thursday’s PBS News Hour continued to use space tech entrepreneur, “X” owner, and Donald Trump fan Elon Musk into a convenient punching bag, continuing to spread smears of Musk (“increasingly unhinged” in 2023, drug use in 2025) as they promoted a four-hour hit-piece documentary.
Aggressive Centrism: Brooks Blasts GOP, Democratic Senate Candidates
The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks is supposed to be PBS News Hour’s Friday conservative weekly news recapper, but he often sounds indistinguishable from MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart. However, he occasionally stumbles into an aggressive form of centrism, where he condemns just about everyone, and Friday was one of those occasions. Looking at the state of discourse in the midterm Senate…
PBS Frets Over Not Cutting Israel Aid: Led to Thousands Dead in Gaza?
The October 6 edition of the PBS News Hour demonstrated the show’s anti-Israel hostility carried even onto the evening before the third anniversary of the worst pogrom since the Holocaust.
NewsBusters Podcast: PBS = MS NOW When It Covers Republican Campaigns
For more than five decades, conservative and Republican taxpayers were forced to subsidize PBS and their routinely leftist "news," or messaging. In the midterms, we have found again that they overwhelmingly pounce on the Republicans with negative spin on their "News Hour." Nobody can argue that spinning against the GOP 94 percent of the time is synonymous with "the truth."
When PBS Finds Killings by Non-Citizens Newsworthy: Marines in Okinawa
The Monday evening PBS News Hour showed concern over unwelcome foreigners (U.S. Marines) committing serious crimes in another country (Japan). A shame the network has ignored the spate of crimes, up to murder, by illegal immigrants in the United States, most of the offenders arriving during the Obama/Biden-era of open borders. Suddenly, anecdotes are proof of a widespread problem.
Month Before Midterms, PBS Piles 94% Negative Spin on GOP, Trump
Atlantic writer David Brooks, the “conservative” half of the PBS News Hour’s traditional Friday evening political discussion, offered rare criticism of his media colleagues on the September 25 edition: “We have got to reestablish some distance from the Democratic Party….They're not people we root for. They're not people we're spin doctors for.” But with just a month to go before the 2026…
PBS Loves Liberal WNBA Culture Warriors, But Bashes Cunningham
On Monday’s episode of Amanpour and Company on PBS, Michel Martin welcomed author Tamryn Spruill to the show to promote her new book on the 30-year history of the WNBA. Towards the end of their discussion, the duo would praise WNBA players for suiting up for the Blue Team in the culture war, but when it came to Sophie Cunningham’s decision to defend the competitive integrity of women’s sports…
PBS Anchor Tosses the 'No Evidence' Card at Trump and Bibi on Flydubai
Most of the network coverage of the hijacking attempt on a Flydubai plane headed to Israel and loaded with Israelis has cited President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to suggest that the early intelligence suggests a terrorist motive. PBS anchor Geoff Bennett claimed neither Trump nor Netanyahu "has provided evidence" of a terrorist motive. It's not what an official should…
