Wednesday’s PBS News Hour segment posed as an even-handed examination of declining trust in the news media, setting up Fox News on the right matching MSMNC on the left as both being to blame. But veteran reporter Judy Woodruff’s framing of bias as a…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart had nothing but effusive praise for President Joe Biden on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he marveled at the prisoner swap with Russia being, “not bad for an 82-year-old man everyone said had cognitive decline and were questioning his mental acuity.”

PBS’s most biased reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, showed still more excitement about the fledgling Kamala Harris campaign at a rally in Atlanta, on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour. First, anchor Geoff Bennett pumped up Democratic optimism in red-leaning Georgia: Vice president Kamala Harris campaigns in Georgia, a state that's now even more hotly…

On the Monday PBS News Hour, NPR White House reporter and PBS pundit Tamara Keith ripped into Sen. J.D. Vance having a "really terrible, no-good week" as the pro-Biden media endlessly rehash his 2021 comments about "childless cat ladies."

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, whose reporting down the homestretch of the 2024 presidential election has so far been wretchedly partisan, was at it again on Friday’s edition, painting a potential second Trump Administration as a threat to the lives of transgenders, and even chiding the Biden Administration for suggesting transgender surgery on minors…

It was the best of worlds for Democrats on Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the entire panel of liberal journalists defended vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris from (let’s say it altogether) racist and sexist attacks, while ridiculing the debut of Donald Trump’s own VP pick, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Before ridiculing Trump’s vice-…

White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez has been extremely protective of fledgling Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, and Thursday evening’s PBS News Hour opened with ten minutes of Barron-Lopez celebrating Harris and bashing her Republican critics as racist. She aired Donald Trump’s counter-argument from a campaign rally (“Trump portrayed Harris as a liberal extremist”), then…

With the Paris Olympics set to begin on Friday, PBS’s Amanpour and Company devoted their entire show to the games on Thursday, including a wild history lesson on the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, where The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness and the Making of Modern Sports author Michael Waters tried to tie Nazism with opposition to transgender ideology.

Monday’s Amanpour & Co., which airs on tax-funded PBS, took advantage of Joe Biden abdicating his re-election campaign to do some Biden-buffing courtesy of Bob Bauer, Biden’s personal lawyer, followed by some Trump-trashing from Sarah Longwell, the “Republican” Never-Trumper, and apparent Kamala Harris booster. 

The following are the nastiest and craziest outbursts from leftist journalists and celebrities during the Republican National Convention:

On Sunday, after President Biden announced he would not run for re-election, political reporter Domenico Montanaro of National Public Radio turned up on PBS News Weekend and sounded exceedingly optimistic about the prospects of the presumptive Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. Montanaro engaged in pro-Democrat happy talk and managed to have it both ways,…

The first post-Republican Convention episode of PBS’s journalistic political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic spent a long time emphasizing the travails of the Democrats over the mental state of President Joe Biden (who would drop out of the 2024 race on Sunday afternoon). But one panelist saw the bright side in the Democratic meltdown.

PolitiFact may have teamed up with PBS for the remainder of the 2024 election cycle, but perhaps they should be checking PBS News Hour instead because on Friday, host Amna Nawaz falsely claimed Donald Trump was using “more dangerous, kind of, vicious language” in targeting “black and brown immigrants” than he was in 2016.

PBS’s coverage of Night Four of the Republican National Convention again featured the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart holding up the liberal end of the political analysis. (David Brooks of the New York Times was the ostensible conservative on the panel, but they often agreed with each other.) Capehart spent most of the four nights of the convention whining that the…
