On Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez acted as mouthpiece for the Biden administration to trumpet the so-called success of Bidenomics, tied to the president’s recent campaign trek to Milwaukee marking the anniversary of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. For this partially taxpayer-funded report, Barron-Lopez cited the Democratic vice-president…

Republicans were angry that the Biden Justice Department "promoted" David Weiss to Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. But PBS (and NPR's legal reporter) didn't think House Republicans were worth quoting or mentioning.

The Thursday evening PBS NewsHour showcased the latest attack on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with a two-pronged attack, hosting Joel Anderson of the Slate podcast "Slow Burn" and Brett Murphy from ProPublica to talk about that outlet’s latest glossy attack on the conservative Supreme Court justice.

PBS’s weekly political roundtable show Washington Week has a new “editorial partner” and a new name but the same liberal philosophy.

Another Biden family payment scandal meant another goose egg of coverage on public television’s flagship evening news program the PBS NewsHour.

For the latest installment of their documentary series, The Human Footprint, PBS took a look at the history of cotton from both a political and scientific perspective. On the former, host and evolutionary biologist Shane Campbell-Staton warned that there attempts to “reinstitute many of the barriers that long kept African-Americans from wielding political power.”

After three and a half years, there’s still no immunity from COVID hysteria at the New York Times or PBS NewsHour. A slight, predictable summer uptick in COVID cases (up from very low levels) caused a mini-frenzy in the liberal media, which were always eager to enjoin citizens to “mask up” and get their umpteenth booster shot while shunning other people. Both outlets relied on…

Two publicly funded media outlets, National Public Radio and the PBS NewsHour, sponsored a Marist poll to find out how Republicans feel about an issue the press has decided is urgent -- “climate change.” To their horror, it found Republicans would rather preserve living standards for humans rather than throw their money at somehow stopping the temperature from rising.

Hosting a sitting liberal Democrat, Rep. Joe Neguse, and the ex-Republican (in all senses) Rep. Joe Walsh, who ran against Trump in the 2020 primary and remains fiercely opposed. Amanpour’s Tuesday evening…

The PBS NewsHour is once again indulging the apocalyptic fears of residents of the liberal bubble (i.e. their viewing audience) with a full segment on the psychological woes wrought by…climate change. On Sunday’s edition of the tax-supported program, anchor John Yang interviewed a “climate psychology therapist” over this rather niche, first-world woe.

PBS NewsHour’s weekly recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart began with a discussion on, of all things, Republican attitudes towards climate change.
