CNN Hypes Doc On CNN Founder Ted Turner, Promotes His Soviet Apologia
Before her show airs on PBS, Christiane Amanpour’s daily musings air on CNN International, and on Monday that included an interview with producer Joni Levin and writer and director Keith Clarke of the new documentary Call Me Ted about CNN founder Ted Turner. During their discussion, Amanpour, who is usually very keen to label Republicans Putin apologists, hyped Turner’s record of “…
PBS Mocks Trump’s Cabinet Picks: ‘As Low as You Could Possibly Go’
The journalists around this week’s Washington Week with The Atlantic roundtable had great fun mocking president-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks. Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine and the regular moderator of the panel, set the…
Brooks Fears Trump Will 'Blowtorch' 'Neutral Institutions of Justice'
New York Times columnist and supposed conservative half of PBS News Hour’s Friday Brooks and Capehart segment was dismayed that President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, will supposedly help him take a “blowtorch to the neutral institutions of justice.”
PBS News Hour Airs 10 Minutes of Trans Panic Over Trump's Election
The PBS News Hour on Wednesday, having evidently learned nothing from the election results, returned to its long-standing left-wing alphabet obsession, even adding a number ("two-spirit"), in a story about Trump “rolling back transgender rights.” (They also interviewed a journalist from a publication that identities as a number.) But this isn’t PBS’s old children’s staple Sesame…
As Trump Shakes Up Deep State, PBS's Barron-Lopez Pushes New Red Scare
As President-elect Donald Trump moves to shake up the federal bureaucracy, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez pushed a new Red Scare on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour. But first came a series of clips introduced by anchor Amna Nawaz of several disgruntled bureaucrats and union members working (for now) in the federal government. Surprise! They’re all opposed to Trump’…
Democrats Self-Examine, But Not the Media
It’s been a week since Donald Trump’s landslide re-election and some Democrats are using words like “realignment,” “self-reflection” and “regret.” It seems most on the losing side are rethinking their far-left policies on immigration and the entire social agenda. Let’s wait and see, because for the left these are matters held as near-religious doctrines.
PBS Smears White Women, Sees Role ‘Racism and Sexism' Played for Trump
Friday’s PBS News Hour didn’t take Donald Trump’s re-election well, continuing to blame sexism for the failure of Americans to elect those incredibly impressive candidates Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, picking instead the sexist ogre Donald Trump (who just appointed the first female chief of staff in presidential history). Even with two guests instead of the usual monotone…
Column: Why Is PBS Allowed to Be Mangle-MAGA TV?
Nothing underlines the partisan nature of PBS right now than The Atlantic magazine being allowed to take over the long-running Washington Week program in August of 2023. This was not a hostile takeover, but a deeper branding of what PBS is – taxpayer-funded mangle-MAGA TV.
Lead CBS, NBC Shows Skip BOMBSHELL on FEMA Discriminating Against MAGA
Late Friday, our friends at the Daily Wire uncovered a massive Biden-Harris administration scandal that blew away the liberal media’s claims that FEMA were taking care of communities affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Thanks to reporter Leif Le Mahieu, we learned a FEMA supervisor instructed employees to avoid homes in Florida with Trump signs. Of course, this wasn’t of any interest to…
‘Campaign of Lies’; Glasser Takes to PBS to Vent Anti-Trump Bitterness
On the post-election edition of PBS’s Friday political roundtable, Washington Week with The Atlantic, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker delivered the bitter highlights, covering the same ground as she did in her New Yorker article, “Donald Trump’s Revenge -- The former President will return to the White House older, less inhibited, and far more dangerous than ever…
Capehart Attributes Trump Win To 'Racism and Sexism'
The passage of a few days to allow for more mature reflection after Election Day has not affected Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Capehart attributed Donald Trump’s victory to “racism and sexism” and a list of other horribles that the country refuses to acknowledge.
OOOPS: PBS Pushed Late Momentum for Kamala in Iowa, Swing States
The PBS News Hour’s most partisan reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, displayed her Democratic favoritism during her long Election Night coverage from Kamala Harris’s election night headquarters. But her pro-Harris hype started before Election Day, with happy talk about Harris’s prospects in most of the swing states, none of which panned out for her campaign. The day before on the PBS…
Trump Honeymoon Over at PBS: 'Violent Riot Against Democratic Process'
Around the witching hour, when Trump’s victory wasn’t quite official but definitely a reality, the normally more buttoned-up crew covering the election for PBS let its fear and anger fly. First up -- before signing off from Donald Trump’s victory party at 2:58 a.m., reporter William Brangham went on the petulant rant he’d apparently been holding in for several hours of coverage.
Glum and Glummer: PBS Reporter's Harris Optimism Dissolves in Red Wave
PBS brought its familiar News Hour crew to Election Night 2024, including anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett. Laura Barron-Lopez reported from Howard University in D.C, Harris’ “victory party” locale, while William Brangham reported from Trump’s actual victory party in West Palm Beach. The anchors checked in with the on-scene reporters roughly every hour, and one could see the…
