Tuesday’s PBS News Hour featured guest Brian Stelter, editor of CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter (and reliable white knight for the mainstream media) to discuss the “chilling effect” of the Trump Administration blocking the Associated Press from the White House pool of reporters.

When PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron Lopez spoke on Monday with the recently resigned IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel, it was the tax-funded news network’s latest defense against DOGE’s cuts in federal spending and staff reductions. PBS dutifully crammed the hypothetical budget cut highway with awful-sounding blockades, and added an old-fashioned soak-the-rich twist.

The results of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is….

New York Times columnist David Brooks is theoretically supposed to be PBS News Hour’s conservative half of its weekly Friday news recap with Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart. However, he constantly fails to live up to this arrangement, and this Friday was no exception, as he alleged that people all over the world will die because the Trump administration simply…

Elon Musk wielded a chainsaw at CPAC, striking a pose next to Argentina’s president Javier Milei. The networks really hate Elon Musk for trying to reduce government in any way. "Public" broadcasters are incredibly anti-Musk, since they are dreading the DOGE wagon pulling up to PBS and NPR.

PBS News anchors and reporters have brought the soft soap for sob-story interviews for people losing their jobs thanks to Trump executive orders and Musk-driven budget cuts, without any ideological labels attached to their designated victims. Yet the rare conservative who appears on the News Hour is almost guaranteed to get smacked with at least on warning label. So no…

PBS News Hour reporter William Brangham dumped a truckload of slime over space entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk’s head in a 10-minute news piece/hit piece that aired Thursday evening: "Musk changed the platform's policies on hate speech, and when analysts claimed that vitriol then flourished on the renamed X, advertisers balked and the company's value slid. In characteristic…

POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)

The PBS News Hour, along with the rest of the liberal press, have certainly warmed up to the FBI, America’s chief domestic surveillance organization. Since Donald Trump came on the scene, the press has behaved more like a present-day “Friends of the FBI” – the fundraising group founded by supporters of the infamous J. Edgar Hoover – than the bulwark against government spying and…

In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.

On the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic on February 7, host Jeffrey Goldberg began: “Elon Musk, the unelected, unconfirmed, unofficial, but extremely powerful prime minister of the United States, is carrying out his plan to purge thousands of employees from the federal government.”

The online title to the latest “On Democracy” segment on Monday’s PBS News Hour gave away the slant of the newly hatched series – fear porn to attract liberal viewers during the second Trump Administration: “How the start of Trump’s second term looks like some autocracies”: "President Trump's social media post over the weekend, 'He who saves his country does not violate any law,'…

Four weeks into the second term of President Trump, it's painfully clear that the "Public Broadcasting Service" loathes Trump and his "government efficiency" czar, billionaire Elon Musk. They don't say the reason out loud, but Musk has made clear he thinks "public" broadcasting should be defunded. He's Public Broadcasting Enemy #1.
