PBS Misremembers William F. Buckley Jr.
Imagine making a documentary about one of the 20th century’s leading opponents of the Ku Klux Klan — without ever talking about the evil of the KKK itself. If that sounds like malpractice, consider PBS’s new documentary on the life of William F. Buckley Jr. “The Incomparable Mr. Buckley,” the latest installment in the “American Masters” series, has much to say about anti-Communism but never…
PBS Touts Film About Being a Trans Man Embedded with the Taliban

On April 4, they touted a new documentary available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV under the headline "Documentary captures journalist’s gender transition while embedded with Taliban."
Column: PBS Brings Tar and Feathers for William F. Buckley
This PBS American Masters documentary by Barak Goodman is neither a valentine to William F. Buckley nor a fair-and-balanced recitation of his life and times. Conservatives are interviewed, but the final product carries the distinct odor of PBS’s liberal arrogance.
NBC Hopes Biden Student Loan Bailout Will Attract Disaffected Youth
Under normal circumstances, a new student loan bailout program would garner significant evening newscast airtime. But with Eclipsemania ongoing, only NBC Nightly News made time to talk about Biden’s new schemes, and only then as a device with which to segue to the real story: that the youths are extremely dissatisfied with President Joe Biden.
FLASHBACK: Celebrating Liberal Justice Jackson, the ‘American Dream’
Two years ago, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

PBS NewsHour Uses Poll to Imply January 6 Energy of Trump Voters
In the Capehart & Brooks pundit segment on Friday's PBS NewsHour, anchor Amna Nawaz broke out the latest NPR/PBS poll showing Biden leading Trump 50-48. But Nawaz wanted the pundits to talk about their provocative question about violence being necessary, and how 28 percent of Republicans agreed. But what about other demographics?
PBS Host Favorably Quotes Trump to Own a Florida Pro-Life Leader!
On Tuesday, PBS NewsHour interviewed a pro-life activist. But that’s not the term anchor Geoff Bennett wanted to use. He said "anti-abortion" over and over. He also favorably quoted Donald Trump saying a six-week abortion ban as "a terrible thing and a terrible mistake."
PBS Blames Churches Following The Bible For Politicizing Religion
Correspondent Sarah McCammon joined her NPR colleague Michel Martin on Thursday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS to discuss her book, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church. Naturally, Evangelicals’ relationship with Donald Trump and the “politicization of religion” was a big part of the conversation, but McCammon made it clear that her…
Column: PBS 'News' Hounds Are OK with Biden's Inflammatory Rhetoric
They call themselves the PBS NewsHour, but if you watch them routinely, you might call them the PBS Opposition Research Hour. They often sound like a Democrat consulting firm as they analyze Donald Trump as a dangerously extreme figure. hen they can turn around and proclaim that Joe Biden is very bipartisan in negotiating “objectively historical achievements,” like they're…
Amanpour Tries to Hide Smiling at Israel Being Told 'To Go F Itself'
PBS’s Amanpour and Company is, apparently, where irony goes to die. On the Wednesday show, first aired on CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour welcomed alleged comedian Bassem Youssef, who has family in Gaza, to lament double standards in media coverage on Israeli and Palestinian suffering while the latter told Israel “to go F itself,” something no media personality would ever…
PBS Pampers Whitmer, Talks of 'Fantasizing' About Her Replacing Biden
The PBS NewsHour interviewed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Michigan) on Monday night, and the questions were soft. Anchor Amna Nawaz sounded like a worried Biden voter. She quoted New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg talking about how voters "fantasize" about Whitmer replacing Biden on the ticket this year.
NPR Harps on Fake News: Bill Kristol Is a 'Conservative'... for Biden
On Monday's Morning Edition, NPR anchor Michel Martin harped twice on the fake news that pro-Biden pundit Bill Kristol is still a "conservative."

PBS:Biden 'Came Out Swinging' vs. GOP's 'False Advertising' on His Age
The tax-funded weekly PBS political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic continued to provide support for the Democratic candidate during the runup to the November election, tempting fate and more after-the-fact embarrassment by again defending Joe Biden’s mental acuity and vigor, even attacking Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report again.
