PBS’s four-part docuseries Fight the Power: How Hip-Hop Changed the World, marking the 50^th anniversary of the musical genre, was unapologetically leftist and political. Produced and hosted by rapper Chuck D., the series has featured musicians from Snoop Dogg to Jay Z to Eminem, with appearances by black professors, activists, and journalists, and….racial arsonist Al…

Host Amna Nawaz introduced Monday evening’s PBS News Hour segment: “Teenage girls in the U.S. are experienced record high levels of violence and sadness. That is according to a recent CDC report,” leading into Stephanie Sy’s interview with Sharon Hoover of the National Center for School Mental Health. The discussion really went off the rails when Sy and Hoover managed to link “gender…

The following are just some of the worst outbursts from Yamiche Alcindor via the NewsBusters archive. 

PBS News Weekend on Sunday featured one of its occasional “Brief but Spectacular” segments, which often smuggle in left-wing perspectives under cover of a slightly wacky (for public broadcasting) presentation. This week’s bit of woke propaganda comes in the guise of a poet of the “queer life,” Adam Falkner. Host John Yang introduced Adam Falkner as “a poet, musician, and educator. He…

On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, the eponymous host lashed out at West Virginia Governor Jim Justice for daring to use his power as Governor to reform the corrupt leftist public broadcasting system in his state. While many conservatives would prefer it be defunded entirely and be forced to compete in the free market like every other news outlet, Justice…

Journalists at CNN and NPR expressed happiness that President Biden spurned any Super Bowl interview with Fox News. Days before those "failed negotiations," Biden received a warm and open-ended interview with the liberals at PBS NewsHour. It washis first interview with a journalist since before the midterm elections. 

The PBS NewsHour, hypersensitive to threats to “gun safety” measures (their words), sounded unpleasantly surprised on Thursday evening’s edition by a federal appeals court ruling allowing people under domestic violence restraining orders to have guns, based on the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision in June 2022. It’s part of a PBS pattern emphasizing what its journalists benignly…

On PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable show Washington Week, National Public Radio Weekend Edition host Ayesha Rascoe and NBC News’ Ryan Nobles (formerly at CNN) discussed the brutal, fatal attack on Tyre Nichols, expanding from the killing to explore bizarre explanations for the attack by the five black police officers, including “white supremacy,” “food insecurity,” and even…

On Wednesday night’s PBS NewsHour, Judy Woodruff followed Biden out on his post-State of the Union road trip to give him a soft-ball interview. During the friendly sit-down, Woodruff couldn’t understand “the disconnect” between what Woodruff described as Biden’s good economy and the polling that shows overwhelmingly that Americans are pessimistic and struggling financially.

PBS coverage of President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening begin with special pleading for the president on the NewsHour, with co-host Amna Nawaz querying Sen. John Thune (R-SD). After Thune called for more bipartisanship from Biden, Nawaz insisted that President Joe “Jim Crow 2.0” Biden had in fact been more than bipartisan. Before Biden’s long State of the Union…

On Thursday's PBS NewsHour, co-host Amna Nawaz uncorked a contentious interview with Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, especially on unprecedented illegal immigration and fentanyl pouring across the border under Biden. 

The nightly PBS NewsHour has provided weeks of intensive coverage of the Pakistani flooding blaming “climate change.” Now the news show is sneaking it into arts coverage as well – in folk song. Retro-folk musician James Blount’s visions of environmental apocalypse were found worthy of a full segment, courtesy of Special Correspondent Tom Casciato: “Jake Blount’s new twist on Black…

Wednesday’s Amanpour & Co. opened with a long interview with Jelani Cobb, dean of Columbia University's Journalism School and a New Yorker staff writer. Cobb, who leads a school for future journalists, forwarded the wild argument that the five black police officers who killed Tyre Nichols could have been motivated by self-hatred, having internalizing “white supremacy.”…

Joe Biden can never hope to garner the gushing praise the media habitually lavished on his onetime boss, former President Barack Obama. Liberal reporters were always thrilled whenever they were privileged to hear their hero delivering predictable liberal platitudes from the well of the House of Representatives.
