PBS Offers Overdue Peek Into the Democrats’ Own Epstein-File Struggles
PBS's Washington Week with The Atlantic remains a reliably Democrat-boosting/Republican-bashing political roundtable, but this Friday the show featured a tiny, overdue peek into an under-covered angle of the sordid Jeffrey Epstein saga, which thus far the media has used as a cudgel against President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress. It turns out Democrats have their…
LOL: Capehart Claims 'The Media Isn't Necessarily Liberal'
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart works for a network that openly presents itself as an outlet for progressives, but when he joined Friday’s PBS News Hour to discuss Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros.—which would include CNN—Capehart hilariously claimed “that the media isn't necessarily liberal.”
Union Chief Upsets PBS: 'Media's Misleading the Public' on Deportation
On Wednesday, the PBS News Hour brought on union chief Paul Perez (who represents 18,000 Border Patrol agents), and anchor Amna Nawaz pressed him on why 6 in 10 Americans think immigration enforcement has "gone too far." Perez argued "the media's misleading the public," and Nawaz wasn't going to accept that argument!
OOPS! Axios Just Kneecapped the Media’s ‘K-Shaped Economy’ Narrative
One of the most exhausted methods employed by the media to tear into the Trump economy has been to whip out the narrative that it is “K-shaped” -- wealthy Americans propping up consumer spending while poorer consumers increasingly pull back. But a new report from Axios just blew up that whole talking point.
PBS Reporter Disses Trump's Iran Death Count, Trusted Hamas Gaza Stats
After Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s rebuttal speech to President Trump’s State of the Union address, PBS News Hour’s foreign policy reporter Nick Schifrin nitpicked President Trump’s claim about the carnage in Iran. There’s an ideological point to casting doubt on the estimated number of peaceful protesters killed by the Iranian regime, given that Trump may be building up U.S.…
'Independent Fact Checkers' PILE ON Trump, Spanberger Gets a Free Pass
The State of the Union is typically an eye-opening exhibit of how dramatically slanted our "independent fact-checkers" are. An overview of the most prominent traditional national media sites reveals a total of 123 "fact checks" on the president to four for Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.). One might say that Trump spoke much longer, but all four of Spanberger's evaluated claims were ruled as…
PBS Allows Panelist Tiffany Smiley to Support Trump, Rip Spanberger
Live PBS coverage of Trump's State of the Union speech offered a surprising balance to the usual liberal tilt. They allowed Tiffany Smiley to sit on the set and be strongly pro-Trump in her analysis, especially at the end, when she ripped Gov. Abigail Spanberger as a fake moderate and a "Trojan horse for the far-left policies" of the Democrats.
PBS Lies About George H.W. Bush's 1992 Supermarket Scanner Encounter
On Monday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett used a discussion of President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address to dredge up a hoary piece of liberal media mythology that helped doom the re-election chances of Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1992. It originated with liberal hack Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times, who got an entire front-page story…
PBS Promotes Jon Meacham: Trump Is Dangerous, Jesse Jackson Was 'Hope'
PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover hosted the elitist media’s favorite historian Jon Meacham, who predictably found parallels between President Donald Trump and House Rep. Joe McCarthy of so-called “Red Scare” infamy, while hailing the late Jesse Jackson. The slant started in host Margaret Hoover’s introduction, a clip montage featuring “triumphs” of democracy consisting of…
PBS Sounds OK With Democrats Heckling Trump as a LIAR at SOTU Address
On Friday’s weekly PBS journalists roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, panel regular Susan Glasser of the New Yorker foisted insults on President Trump for being obliged to appear at the State of the Union after losing on tariffs at the Supreme Court, “I really think that this is a really embarrassing political moment for Donald Trump to be going up to Capitol Hill…
Meacham Brings Back Idea That Trump Is 'Failing' Omaha Beach Soldiers'
On Wednesday, the media’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined Walter Isaacson on PBS’s Amanpour and Company to resurrect his allegation that the Trump administration is “failing” the soldiers who served at places like Omaha Beach and Gettysburg as well as the men and women of the nation’s various civil rights movements.
Irony Alert: Brooks Mourns 'Constant Battle Of Forcing Dehumanization'
The Atlantic podcaster and end-of-democracy doomsday prophet David Brooks had the temerity to claim on Friday’s PBS News Hour that he and people like him represent the “forces of humanization” in America while people like President Trump fight a “constant battle of forcing dehumanization.”
Trump Praised At White House Black History Month Event, Networks SKIP
February is Black History Month, so it shouldn't be considered unreasonable for one to expect to see media coverage of President Trump's White House event on Wednesday. But the Wednesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS all skipped it. Fox's Special Report With Bret Baier did mention it and Laura Ingraham made it the focus of her opening 'Angle' on The Ingraham Angle…
PBS Skips Rubio's Munich Triumph to Bash 'Trump, Demolition Man'
Monday’s PBS News Hour virtually skipped over Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s performance at the annual Munich Security Conference to wail over his subsequent trip to endorse “far right prime minister” Viktor Orban of Hungary. The online heading to the segment after Rubio’s speech impressed even European leaders: “Rubio bolsters Hungary's far-right leader days after push to mend U.S…
