Ridiculous Washington Post Tees Up NPR CEO to Claim We're Not Partisan
When it comes to NPR, Washington Post media reporter Scott Nover is a publicist, not a journalist. His interview with "bright-eyed" NPR CEO Katherine Maher was (to borrow from MASH) "bathed in the glow of utter servility." Maher claimed NPR is not "partisan," and has no "affinity for one party" over the other. How stupid do they think we are?

Texas-Obsessed PBS Totally Ignores Dems Side of House Gerrymander Wars
A redistricting arms race? Texas Republicans' plan to redraw the congressional map and eliminate five Democratic-held U.S. House seats, which would help the GOP retain control of the House in next year's midterm elections, sent Democrats in the Texas legislature fleeing to Illinois and New York to avoid a sufficient “quorum” in the chamber to vote on the measure. The spat led off Monday…

PBS's Israel Hostility Culminates in 13-Minute Inflammatory Segment
Over the last several months, the PBS News Hour has aired seemingly endless hits against Israel, blaming the invaded country for blocking food aid, even purposefully killing hundreds of innocent Gazans lining up for aid at distribution sites in Gaza they are feeding the enemy (while also being accused of genocide against that same enemy). That slant toward believing the worst about…

AP's Pathetic Story on UCLA's Jew Exclusion Zone Omits Awful Details
Associated Press reporter Julie Watson’s Tuesday night story on UCLA’s settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor, over the university failing to protect their civil rights against anti-Semitic campus mobs, was suspiciously vague on the actual allegations. While providing none of the awful details about persecution of Jews on UCLA’s campus after the October 7 Hamas massacre…

MSNBC Melts Down After CPB Shut Down Announcement
On Friday, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it is shutting down, and the cast of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour lost its mind as it rolled out the same tired talking points about local news, weather, and children’s educational programming.

'Why Have People Not Risen Up?': Brooks Praises Harris on Colbert Show
New York Times columnist and the allegedly conservative half of Friday’s PBS News Hour’s weekly news recap, David Brooks, praised former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview with Stephen Colbert and agreed with her that “civic capitulation” to President Trump is “a real thing.” Meanwhile, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart explained he quit his job at The Washington…

PBS's Anti-Israel Omissions on Gaza Hunger, Hamas Health Ministry
The PBS News Hour’s bizarre post-October 7 enmity toward Israel has blared bright the last few days, eager to portray Israel, fighting for existence against a soulless enemy, Hamas, as a cruel invader purposely starving Gaza’s infants. PBS’s coverage of late has been guilty of bias by omission, spewing phony figures and hunger anecdotes from the Hamas-controlled “Health Ministry”…

BREAKING: CPB Announces It's Shutting Down Next Month, Bozell Reacts
Deadline.com is reporting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down its operations after the loss of federal funding. "The CPB informed employees on Friday that the majority of staff positions will end on Sept. 30, with a small transition team in place through January, 2026." If this happens, this is not a shutdown of PBS or NPR stations, but a shutdown of the corporation that…

Idiotic Amanpour on PBS: 'Genocide' in Gaza, Israel Like Assad Regime
On the reflexively anti-Israel show CNN International affairs show Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS, regular fill-in host Bianna Golodryga spoke on Monday to regular guest “humanitarian Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council,” about Israel's supposedly deliberate starvation plan in its war against Hamas in Gaza. Judging by Egeland’s past and present…

'This is Bull****': Jon Stewart Attacks Fox For Citing MRC Studies
As Jon Stewart concluded Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast on Thursday, he attacked Fox News for citing my late night guest studies.

Pompous Public Media Poobahs CRY and Quote Shakespeare Over Defunding
Unbelievable. Kudos to Chuck Ross at the Washington Free Beacon for posting some pompous and ridiculous audio from a recent meeting of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting board after Congress rescinded CPB funding amounting to $1.1 billion. The CPB board members were crying and comparing themselves to military heroes in Shakespeare plays and the movies.

Years After BLM, Antifa, COVID, Masks Are Bad Now That ICE Uses Them
Years after the Black Lives Matter protests and attendant vandalism, looting and burning, the PBS news division is suddenly worried that masks….help people get away with crimes! Why the sudden interest? Well, it’s a way to indirectly fault ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for criminals impersonating agents. Sunday’s NewsHour Weekend segment carried the online headline “Rise…

NPR Offers a Puffy Platform for Mayor Pete, Unlike Their Bannon Banter
On Wednesday’s Morning Edition, NPR host Steve Inskeep interviewed potential 2028 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. The tone was chummy, with questions asking how Democrats can tweak their tactics and win elections. That's not like an earlier interview with MAGA strategist Steve Bannon, which was much more contentious.
