Public Broadcasting

People seem to assume that because PBS is dry and somewhat boring, that must also mean it’s also more serious than other news channels. But the truth is, the commentary on shows like NewsHour is as far in crazy left-wing territory as most prime time MSNBC shows, and it’s been this way since at least the 1990s.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was the only late night comedian to acknowledge the existence of Wednesday’s House hearing on how PBS and NPR have used taxpayer money to promote liberal causes while attacking conservatives. However, for Kimmel, the main takeaway was that subcommittee chair Marjorie Taylor Greene supposedly looks like one of the drag queens she was dismayed was aired on a PBS childhood…

PBS and NPR each faced the difficulty on Wednesday night of covering their own bosses taking tough questions from Republicans at the Capitol in a hearing on Wednesday. PBS actually aired a Republican citing us -- just as a "conservative media watchdog group."

Publicly funded National Public Radio continued to defy basic biology by muddling the facts of life, with sentences like "He's already frozen his eggs in case he wants to have his own biological children one day...."

In a House hearing, Republicans pressed the bosses of PBS and NPR on the blatant leftist bias of their news shows, and both leaders claimed these networks are unbiased and nonpartisan. No one believes this.

Before Wednesday’s congressional testimony from the heads of PBS and NPR in front of the House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency (DOGE), PBS’s flagship news show News Hour offered up some gaslighting on Tuesday evening in defense of the program’s political objectivity and balance -- a laughable proposition to anyone who has watched an episode.

On Wednesday, the House Subcommittee on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) held a hearing featuring the CEOs of National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS amid a new push to achieve a decades-old effort to defund the far-left propaganda outlets that annually see hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.With their federal dollars on the line, NPR’s Katherine Maher and PBS’s Paula Kerger…

Before journalist Jeffrey Goldberg’s revelation that he’d been privy to a national security text thread discussing war plans by the Trump White House, the Atlantic’s editor in chief hosted another busy episode of public television’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, where Washington Post columnist David Ignatius and Atlantic writer Michael Scherer helped…

On Tuesday during a White House press pool Q&A ahead of a meeting with prospective U.S. Ambassadors, President Donald Trump gave his support to the House Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee as it prepares to hold a hearing Wednesday with the heads of taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS, adding “I’d be honored” if he were the president to finally defund…

As PBS prepares to defend itself at a Wednesday Congressional hearing, the Monday edition of Amanpour and Company seemed oblivious to the stakes the network faces. Guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed transgender Nashville city council member Olivia Hill to not only declare there are “at least three genders” but also that people who transition the other way acquire “male privilege,”…

PBS News Weekend helped their brethren at NPR promote a podcast series on Sunday in a segment headlined "How online misinformation is ‘supercharging’ conspiracy theories." Podcaster Zach Mack made a three-part podcast on how his conservative Christian father has gone down a "rabbit hole" of conspiracy thinking.

Now that they're in a public-relations battle with Republicans over defunding PBS, the network is out promoting themselves on social media, using "average Americans" who appreciate their work. 

NPR recently hosted a debate between two sides. No, it's not between Democrats and Republicans, but between liberal Democrats and really radical Democrats. On Tuesday's Morning Edition, the establishment Democrat was old Clinton spinner Paul Begala, and the radical was Waleed Shahid.

The weekly gathering of Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks on PBS News Hour was extra animated this Friday as the duo decried DOGE’s “cruelty,” claimed “democracy is teetering,” and labeled President Trump an “extortionist.”
