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…
PBS Compares Daniel Penny Defenders To Luigi Mangione Fans
PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour rewound to 2023 on Friday as she welcomed author Giridharadas to promote his new book on the Daniel Penny case. According to Giridharadas, the case represented a cautionary tale of what happens when people develop a “sense of desertion” that they feel forces them to take matters into their own hands, which is also why some people on the left support Luigi…
Brooks Flubs Basic Facts As PBS Tries Dunking on GOP's Midterm Chances
The media’s week of trying to focus solely on Republican gaffes and hot mic comments continued on Friday’s episode of PBS News Hour, but the tables turned as The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks flubbed two basic facts when trying to paint the GOP’s midterm outlook as dire.
1619 Project Founder Defends Giving Daughter a Bad Education
1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones recently penned a column in The New York Times where he revealed that she purposefully gave her daughter a poor education in order to align with her left-wing beliefs. Defending herself on PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Thursday, Hannah-Jones insisted her decision was “for the collective and common good.”
PBS Hosts Book Chat with Lib Fox Host Jessica Tarlov, Not Her Co-Hosts
Geoff Bennett of the PBS News Hour interviewed Jessica Tarlov, the sole liberal panelist on the Fox News Channel’s political-comedic chat show “The Five,” on her new book I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends, begging the question: But has the News Hour ever hosted a conservative regular from “The Five” to talk about a book they’ve written?
OMISSION: Media Lose Interest in New Charges Against ‘Doordash Driver’
Remember the illegal alien that the media were trying to rename “Doordash Driver” á la “Maryland Dad?” The Elitist Media were hot for his story when it furthered narratives of rogue ICE agents committing abuses against defenseless migrants. After new details became public in this case, the media dropped “Doordash Dad” like he was a bad delivery.
CNN, MS NOW Overreact To Taxpayer-Paid Trump Ad: Kim And Communism!
President Trump shouldn’t be putting recycled campaign ads on the air announcing they are "Paid for by the U.S. Government." The spot that aired this weekend is the same core video from a 2024 Trump campaign ad. That is the record. Morning Joe and CNN This Morning treated with the usual paranoia as a border crossing into dictatorship.
WRONG: Capehart Says Journalism Is Only Job Protected By Constitution
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart’s Friday appearance on PBS News Hour provided a revealing look at the media’s Main Character Syndrome as he falsely declared that journalism is the job protected by the Constitution while taking a victory lap on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico returning to the White House. Meanwhile, The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks was not completely useless. While he criticized…
PBS Leans on 'Lifelong Kansas Republican' Who Keeps Backing Dems
In its rush to paint the GOP as Doomed in November, Wednesday’s PBS News Hour not only made a full meal out of a new PBS-NPR poll showing lagging enthusiasm for Republicans, but interviewed former Kansas Republican Gov. Bill Graves who was apparently making big news by (once again!) endorsing a Democrat, this time one running against sitting Republican Sen. Roger Marshall.
PBS Washington Week: 'AI's Threats to Humanity Reached a Fever Pitch'
Washington Week with The Atlantic was guest hosted on Friday by PBS News Hour White House correspondent Liz Landers, who in the lead segment made one miss the (relative) restraint (occasionally) exercised by the regular show host Jeffrey Goldberg. On the threat of artificial intelligence, Landers assumed the absolute worst-case A.I scenario, then turned on President Trump for his supposed…
