A very special episode of Washington Week with The Atlantic aired Friday, devoted wholly to the magazine’s very special anti-Trump issue, already pushed on the PBS NewsHour. A liberal dream team of Atlantic magazine staff joined editor Jeffrey Goldberg took over the taxpayer-supported airwaves to fret over a potential second term for Trump.

2024 is bound to be not only one of the most monumental years in American history, it ventures to be among the most chaotic. So, before we dive head first into 2024 at midnight, let’s look back one last time at 2023 to look at what stories you, the readers, visited the most on NewsBusters. As always, we can’t thank you enough for not only your readership, but also financial support. Amid a…

Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn underlined that 2023 was another year in which President Biden largely avoided solo press conferences (three!) and serious newsmaker interviews. He ended the year on a podcast with comedian Conan O'Brien, not with a press conference or a hard-hitting journalist one-on-one.

Taxpayer-supported PBS again showed its ongoing hostility toward Israel in its war in Gaza against the terrorist group Hamas on Wednesday’s night episode of the NewsHour. The initial sympathy the NewsHour showed for Israel’s plight after the brutal October 7 invasion has been replaced by endless doomsaying over unavoidable civilian casualties in a war where one side, Hamas,…

It's always a surprise when David Brooks actually fights with Jonathan Capehart on the Friday night panel on the PBS NewsHour. But he denounced Maine's Democrat Secretary of State taking Donald Trump off the primary ballot, saying it was not just a "terrible decision," but an "even worse threat to democracy" than Colorado's Supreme Court ripping Trump off the ballot. 

Today we present the WORST OF 2023: The Damning Florida’s Dictator Award.

On Christmas Eve, PBS News Weekend found the publicly-funded outlet pushing that old "war on poverty" agenda that not even other networks are covering: homelessness. This used to be a larger issue for PBS and the press, which was at home criticizing Republican presidents for people on the street during the late 1980s, blaming Reagan and Bush. But blame for Biden was brushed…

Amanpour & Co., which airs on taxpayer-supported PBS, on Tuesday called the 2024 elections a “make-or-break moment for democracy” in the “flawed democracy” known as the United States, because of the risks of a victory by former president Donald Trump. The Economist deputy editor Tom Standage talked to Amanpour reporter Hari Sreenivasan, who set up Standage to…

Neal Katyal, former Obama administration acting U.S. Solicitor General and now frequent pro-Democratic MSNBC guest, was the partisan choice of Wednesday evening’s PBS NewsHour as its sole expert opinion-giver on the controversial ruling by the Democratic-majority of the Colorado Supreme Court to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot in 2024, under the U.S.…

It was a triple-liberal-team up against Donald Trump on Tuesday’s edition of the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour with an interview segment headlined online, “How media organizations are facing the task of covering Trump’s anti-democratic rhetoric.” (Ironically, the segment on the dangers Trump posed to democracy was introduced with news that Trump had been removed from the ballot in…

In a year-ending hour-long PBS election special America at a Crossroads, former NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff uncorked a  history of "mean" political debate and violence all conveniently came from the right, with leftism identified as going forward and MAGA going backward, bookended with bits of Woodruff labeling bias, from 1984 to 2023.

Slot him into the media’s “Strange New Respect for Religion” category: Pope Francis, beloved by liberals for his “progressive” tack toward the LGBTQ movement -- and hostility toward conservative Catholics. PBS Weekend was the latest to genuflect toward the “social reform” minded (i.e. liberal-pleasing) pontiff on Saturday.

Washington Week with The Atlantic, public television’s tax-funded weekly political roundtable with an ostensible commitment to balance, went along 100% with the Democratic view of the Biden impeachment proceedings House Republicans officially launched last week. This week’s panel treated the launch by House Republicans of formal impeachment proceedings against President Biden with…

In a surprising development, PBS NewsHour’s Friday weekly news recap featured almost a debate between New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus on House Republicans formally approving an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden with the former wondering what the big deal is and the latter labeling it a “shameful misuse of the…
