Both the PBS News Hour and PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable Washington Week in Review used the new 199^th Congress and Rep. Mike Johnson narrowly winning the vote to become Speaker of the House to break out their biased labeling tricks. Washington Week moderator and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg (along with contributors Leigh Ann Caldwell and David Ignatius of…

Since the 1980s, the Media Research Center has chronicled lefty journalists’ contempt for capitalism and free markets. Here are the top 20 quotes from our archives demonstrating the radical perspective that’s become all-too-commonplace within the liberal media.

PBS News Hour’s first weekly recap featuring Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks of the new year concluded with the duo taking turns singing the praises of former President Jimmy Carter and “the glow around him.” While one might have expected the liberal Capehart to say such things, the supposedly conservative Brooks failed to even…

The hagiography of President Jimmy Carter, who died on Sunday at age 100, continued Monday evening on the tax-funded PBS News Hour. The online headline summarized: “A look at Carter’s accomplishments as president and his legacy as a human rights champion.” President Ronald Reagan certainly didn’t get that treatment for ending the Cold War by pushing the Soviets into the dustbin of…

One of the reasons Republicans have never mustered the gumption to defund public broadcasting is because it upsets the entire leftist media, and its budget is so relatively tiny for the political pain. On Saturday, The New York Times took seriously Elon Musk’s determination to cut the taxpayer-funded tilt.

The 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, has shuffled off this mortal coil at the age of 100. Those who remain and are tasked with covering his passing have chosen to do so while putting a rosy glaze over his presidency. In doing so, they neglected history.

Today we present the WORST OF 2024: The Damn Those Conservatives Award. Why must they be so crass?

The PBS partnership with the liberal "fact checkers" at PolitiFact was celebrated on Christmas with a seven-minute promotional segment for their "Lie of the Year" award, granted to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for Trump's claim Haitian migrants were "eating the pets" in Springfield, Ohio. They didn't prove that, but PBS made no attempt to question the liberal tilt of PolitiFact in 2024 --…

The Monday edition of the PBS News Hour gave an early Christmas gift to the outgoing Biden administration by openly embracing Biden’s controversial commutation of the sentences of 37 federal death row prisoners to life in prison, responsible in whole or part of over 50 murders, by …

Whenever the first Trump administration made noises about defunding public media (in its 2017 and 2018 budget proposals, for instance), including National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally founded tax-funded entity ostensibly in charge, would respond by emphasizing how PBS benefits kids. But must PBS’s…

Washington Week with The Atlantic’s year-in-review episode Friday contained a fleeting reference to a bombshell Wall Street Journal story about how the White House and Democrats actively hid President Joe Biden’s descent into decrepitude, including several public stumbles, shaking hands with the air, and taking the “short stairs” up Air Force One.

On Friday’s PBS airing of Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour introduced “the Nobel prize winning economist, Paul Krugman, who's written his last column for The New York Times, after 25 years of sharp and often indispensable takes on major issues that shape America and the world.” But NewsBusters has compiled decades of research proving Krugman’s knee-jerk…

The PBS NewsHour Friday night pundit panel of Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks took on the shutdown showdown. Anchor Geoff Bennett quoting from a “news report” from The Washington Post that sounds a lot like a liberal editorial, that Musk’s advising reeks of “oligarchy.” These people really have to keep insisting democracy on the wane!

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour talked to former Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron about Trump’s “massive chilling effect” on the press on Wednesday, and added another metaphor to describe the media supposedly bowing down to Trump’s threats (since when!): Amanpour: "...we're seeing quite a lot of media and like the tech streaming titans and all the…
