Column: Broadcast Love Letters for Lisa Murkowski
Here’s how it's so easy to identify the national media as liberal Democrats: They hate “moderate” Democrats. They love moderate Republicans. They despise disunity in their party, and love to fester disunity in the Other Party. This week, we’ve witnessed an outpouring of love for Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, which you would never see for a Joe Manchin.

STUDY: Media Nearly Blind to the Far Left, but Panic Over ‘Far Right’
Despite the growing trend of left-wing extremist violence during the first six months of the Trump administration (including the DC Jewish Museum shooting, the firebombing of a GOP building in Albuquerque, and the anti-deportation riots Los Angeles), talking heads on TV news remained reluctant to acknowledge the existence of the American far left. However, those same journalists had no qualms…

PBS Favors Lefty Mamdani in NYC Mayor Primary: Obama to Cuomo’s Trump?
Zohran Mamdani, the controversial leftwing Muslim candidate who last night won the Democratic primary in the New York City mayoral race and will take on incumbent Eric Adams this fall, was celebrated on PBS’s News Hour Monday, before Election Day. At least both co-anchor Geoff Bennett and field reporter William Brangham called Mamdani a “socialist,” though the label would be hard to…

PBS Turns Library of Congress Firing Into Censorship, Democracy Attack
In May, President Trump fired Carla Hayden, the Obama-nominated head of the Library of Congress, and the PBS News Hour came to the defense of its tax-funded brethren on Friday evening. Setting up a previously recorded interview with Hayden, co-anchor Geoff Bennett called Hayden “a trailblazing Librarian of Congress” and said, “I traveled to Baltimore to speak with her about being…

PBS's Theory on Violence: If GOP Runs Government, Why Must They Kill?
On Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UC-San Diego professor and self-styled extremism expert Barbara Walter. Despite support for left-wing violence from burning Tesla and Waymo cars by anti-Musk and anti-ICE rioters, despite the anti-Semitic killings and fire-bombings, the focus was almost…

Capehart Claims GOP is Afraid 'Of Being Human' on Political Rhetoric
If one were only to watch Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour, they would come away with the impression that “rotten” political rhetoric is mainly a right-wing phenomenon. Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart went so far as to claim Republicans are afraid “of being human” on the matter.

Jim Acosta Wants BIG $$$ Infusion to PBS and NPR, 'Too Big to Fail'
Earlier, we noted former CNN White House screamer Jim Acosta's appearance on Tuesday at a panel at the Center for American Progress. But it's still worth isolating Acosta's remarks on how there should be a big cash infusion into PBS and NPR, to make them "too big to fail."

Will Google AI Gemini Say Defund PBS for Partisan Juneteenth Content?
Google’s Gemini drastically changed its answer on radical content targeting children once it became clear that taxpayer money was on the line.

Amanpour Allows Iranian Minister to Rewrite History
PBS’s Christiane Amanpour sat down with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Tuesday to get his perspective on the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, but Amanpour’s usual mantra of being “truthful, not neutral” mostly took a back seat as she never challenged him on the regime’s anti-Semitic, eliminationist rhetoric or his rewriting of Iran-Iraq War history.

Tinfoil Hat Capehart: LA Response Part of a Plan To Suspend Elections
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour that he knows the actual reason for President Trump’s response to rioting in Los Angeles and for Saturday’s Army parade in Washington. According to him, it is all part of a scheme that will eventually allow Trump to cancel elections.

PBS Turns to Left to Explain Trump's 'Alarming' L.A. Troop Deployment
Thursday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour turned to leftist group the Brennan Center for Justice and a liberal mayor as their experts to criticize President Trump’s use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles and other cities to quell violence at protests against ICE’s arrest of illegal immigrants.

GOP Vote to Defund CPB Skipped by ABC, NBC, NY Times, and WashPost
While conservatives at NewsBusters and elsewhere celebrate a major win as the House passed a rescission package that would claw back $1.1 billion in federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the liberal media didn’t greet that as a big deal at all.
