Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. featured an unusually testy interview, conducted by journalist Walter Isaacson, with Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review. It’s rare that conservatives appear on Amanpour on taxpayer-funded PBS, and the resulting clash between liberal and conservative journalist threw off a few polite sparks about DeSantis vs. Disney.

Now, a news story that only a left-wing outlet would write: Tax-funded National Public Radio’s flagship news program All Things Considered dove deep to dismiss police concerns over their personal safety in a May 16 segment by “addiction correspondent” Brian Mann: “Cops say they're being poisoned by fentanyl. Experts say the risk is ‘extremely low.” Mann strove mightily to prove cops…

Tuesday’s edition of the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour devoted a full segment to the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team re-inviting the offensive Catholic-mocking drag troupe “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” (i.e. a troupe of men who dress as nuns, founded in San Francisco in 1979, their motto "Go forth and sin some more!”) to the team’s 10^th annual “Pride Night” in…

A brand new poll conducted by NPR/PBS Tuesday shows a “significant majority of Americans say they believe President Biden's mental fitness is a real concern they have about his ability to be president,” according to NPR’s writeup of the poll’s findings. Despite this, PBS NewsHour ignored their own poll during their Tuesday evening broadcast. It was also ignored by the “big three”…

NPR has a Strategic Plan to expand their "Black and Hispanic audiences on all platforms." This helps explain why they offered black leftists an open-ended publicity platform on Monday's morning and evening "news" programs. Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison was given a softball interview about his book prosecuting the cops in the George Floyd case, with zero focus on the current crime…

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour cheered on two liberal guests pushing restrictive gun control measures in the United States, suggesting the existence of a phantom constitutional right “not to be shot” while bemoaning the actual 2^nd Amendment right to bear arms. On Friday, the sophisticated international journalist, who favors arming Ukraine to the hilt, was…

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour, fresh from arrogantly criticizing her network CNN for hosting a Donald Trump town hall and urging student journalists to “speak truth to power,” didn’t exactly renew confidence in the news media to challenge the powerful with her choice of guest to discuss the looming debt-ceiling deadline: Patrick Gaspard, president of the left-wing Center…

The internal dissent at CNN over the town hall with Donald Trump erupted into public view on Wednesday as Christiane Amanpour accepted the Columbia Journalism Award during the school’s commencement ceremonies. During her speech, Amanapour also encouraged the graduates to put neutrality aside in the pursuit of liberal ideas, or in her words “truth.”

NPR makes a nightly joke of its evening newscast title, All Things Considered. On Monday, they aired a completely one-sided press release for a project called "Pride in the Pews," which advocate for the black church that "not only welcomes queer folks, but uplifts and affirms them." The Bible is not a Thing to be Considered. 

PBS has an undeserved reputation for trustworthiness. A new study by the MRC of four months of the PBS NewsHour shows PBS isn't much different than CNN or MSNBC in trashing Republicans. The only difference is we pay for it. Why should we?

More public broadcasting arrogance was on display on the tax-funded PBS weekly political roundtable Washington Week Friday evening, as journalists huddled around their tax-supported digital fires to brainstorm ideas on how to trip up Republican candidate Donald Trump’s appeal in 2024 by denying him live coverage, as if the press is the first and final arbiter of who should speak…

Given their government funding, citizens should expect public broadcasting’s news coverage to be scrupulously neutral, yet an exhaustive Media Research Center study of PBS NewsHour found coverage of the first four months of the new Congress has been heavily slanted against Republicans.

More taxpayer-supported “gender-affirming” propaganda, full of cringy sentimentality, came courtesy of National Public Radio’s misnamed All Things Considered news program Thursday: “As conservative states target trans rights, a Florida teen flees for a better life” The hagiographic tale under the guise of news was told by Stephanie Colombini, a health reporter for Tampa Bay’s NPR-…

Thursday's PBS News Hour featured liberal journalistic handwringing over 2024 candidate Donald Trump’s CNN live town hall from New Hampshire, filled with adoring fans and questioning from CNN’s Kaitlin Collins. Online the segment went by “CNN town hall highlights media’s struggle with how to cover Trump and his lies.” Indeed, the segment featured three facets of the liberal…
