May 13th, 2025 8:30 PM

Friday’s edition of the PBS News Hour contained a frustrating interview with the left’s deportation hero of the day, conducted by the paper’s most slanted reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez.

May 8th, 2025 5:15 AM

The PBS News Hour ended Tuesday evening’s show to a discussion of the “chilling effect” of Trump’s executive actions on free speech on campus, based on the pro-Hamas agitators occupying campus quads and sometimes vandalizing campus buildings and attacking Jewish students, a segment slanted heavily toward the pro-Palestinian side.

LOL: Cory Booker Uses Liberal 'West Wing' Clip to Defend PBS, NPR

May 5th, 2025 12:12 PM

If it's not annoying enough that liberals are defending PBS with an antiquated clip of Mister Rogers testifying to Congress in 1969, it's really annoying that now they're using clips from The West Wing, as Sen. Cory Booker did, insisting PBS offers "trusted journalism." It's a "cornerstone of civic life."
