Public Broadcasting

Washington Week with The Atlantic host Jeffrey Goldberg opened Friday’s political roundtable on PBS by setting up a segment on the reckless video issued by Democrats pressuring current military members “to refuse illegal orders” – while leaving the illegal orders supposedly issued by Trump undefined. Goldberg led off by ripping Trump's "unmanaged anger" over the "eminently ignorable"…

PBS (and its natural liberal fans) love abortion. Pushing abortion pills after the repeal of Roe v. Wade is heroic in their eyes. On Wednesday's PBS News Hour, reporter Sarah Varney spent almost ten minutes glamorizing an "underground network" of abortion pill distributors in pro-life states. It's "underground" enough that PBS helpfully hid the identities of all their…

MS Now host Jonathan Capehart did not appreciate the idea that certain Democratic politicians making a video urging the military to disobey President Trump was a problem. During PBS News Hour’s Friday weekly news recap, Capehart condemned the American Enterprise Institute’s Matthew Continetti for declaring that “both sides” disgraced themselves with the video because, in his mind,…

When reporters want to uncork righteous editorializing, they label it a "news analysis." That's what happened when NPR media reporter David Folkenflik unleashed his outrage on Thursday morning at Trump demeaning several members of the elitist liberal media. He never fussed when Biden called Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch." That was comedy to NPR. 

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour was blessed with a rare sight: A Catholic bishop as guest. But of course PBS didn’t invite him on to talk about the church’s opposition to abortion (there was no dissent at all in Wednesday’s News Hour story on an underground network of…

The crossover that no one asked for came together on Tuesday as CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, joined The New Yorker editor and NPR host David Remnick for a New York Public Radio fundraiser for an exercise in mutual back patting in the aftermath of Colbert’s cancellation and public media’s defunding.

HBO’s John Oliver rehashed many of the old and familiar arguments in defense of public broadcasting on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, but because Oliver views himself as a man of action, he announced an auction to help save public media because otherwise “people would die.” Things Oliver put up for sale included, but were not limited to, actor Russell Crowe’s jockstrap, his cabbage wife…

When PBS hosts a talk show where they interview PBS star Ken Burns, you know it’s going to be like an infomercial for Burns Incorporated. It’s especially appalling when the program has stolen the title Firing Line, which used to be a show hosted by a staunch conservative. Margaret Hoover did not bring anything conservative to challenging this elitist network’s hero. Instead, she set…

PBS omnipresence Ken Burns debuted his six-part, 12-hour series The American Revolution Sunday evening and will air through November 21. Sympathetic journalists were eager to see parallels of the colonists fight for independence and Trump’s opponents rebelling against an authoritarian leader.

In its efforts to find every anti-Trump story line it can, the PBS News Hour is touting members of the military who are seeking outside legal advice about whether the missions assigned by the Trump administration are legally justified, starting with the drug-boat bombings.

President Trump’s declaration that the U.S. would not attend the G20 summit in South Africa, citing the killing of white Afrikan farmers, inspired a furious reaction from NPR’s Kate Bartlett on All Things Considered, in “Prominent Afrikaners refuse to be 'pawns,' and hit back at Trump's claims about South Africa.” "He ambushed the country's president Cyril Ramaphosa during a White…

As President Trump prepares to sue the BBC for deceptively editing his words on January 6, 2021, to make it appear like he urged violence, PBS’s Christiane Amanpour said on her Friday podcast, The Ex Files, that the idea that the BBC is biased is “probably wrong” and that her own network is “an absolute must” have for the American people.

PBS superstation WETA and its subsidiary News Hour Productions are ending broadcasts of PBS News Weekend in early January. The "public" broadcasting news site Current reported it's "part of a restructuring prompted by the rescission of federal funding for public media."

PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour and former Vice President Al Gore continued their combined efforts to get the American people to subscribe to climate alarmism on Wednesday's Amanpour and Company as the duo lamented the lack of interest from the Trump administration in the ongoing COP30 summit in Brazil. At one point in the interview, Amanpour would drop all pretense of journalism and…
