NPR media reporter David Folkenflik came on Monday night's All Things Considered to talk about cable news, and it wasn't about Fox News, at least not directly. After Biden called in to Morning Joe, NPR had to contemplate that Scarborough is so deep into the Biden camp that it evokes parallels to -- oh, God forbid! -- Fox News. 

On the latest episode of the PBS political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, host (and Atlantic editor in chief) Jeffrey Goldberg set up New York Times legal reporter Charlie Savage about the “future of presidential power” after the 6-3 ruling expanded presidential immunity and had the knock-on effect of postponing Trump’s classified documents trial and his…

The PBS News Hour crew is clearly heartsick that the Democrats are in a crisis over Joe Biden's mental decline, and they know their liberal audience wants to change the subject back to Horrible Trump. Sounding like a taxpayer-funded MSNBC host, PBS anchor Amna Nawaz described the former president as a budding authoritarian full of lies in the Friday pundit roundtable with David Brooks…

On Monday’s edition of the CNN International political interview program Amanpour, liberal host Christiane Amanpour treated new, significant Supreme Court decisions with fear and contempt, using the liberal media’s trick of emphasizing the liberal dissents from the bench, not the binding rulings from the conservative majority. Host Christiane Amanpour opened the program with "Donald…

Taxpayer-funded PBS is inaccurately branded as the fairest, most unemotional TV news outlet. Anyone looking at PBS right after Biden’s disastrous debate would have realized they were more favorable to Biden than anyone else. They steered clear of the dominant panic among Democrats. They sounded more like the DNC than MSNBC. Friday's News Hour was fiercely anti-Trump.

As we noted PBS tried hardest to support the Biden spin after their disastrous debate, on Friday night, the PBS News Hour strongly stuck to the Biden narrative that Trump lost the debate by unleashing a flood of lies. PBS turned to the badly disguised Democrats at PolitiFact for analysis, whose post-debate analysis couldn't find anything Trump said was true. They loaded 16 claims that…

The latest Friday edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, airing on taxpayer-funded PBS, passed around anecdotes of the various levels of panic from Democratic politicians and strategists, after President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. But one exchange…

Even after his disastrously doddering debate performance Thursday night, President Joe Biden still has his fans on public television. Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs originally on CNN International, stitched together various thin defenses of the Biden presidency and condemnations of Donald Trump, while host Christiane Amanpour’s anti-Trump partisanship was even more…

Taxpayer-supported PBS kept its News Hour crew on deck for Thursday night’s first (and only?) Trump-Biden debate of the 2024 presidential election cycle, airing on CNN and simulcast on PBS. While other liberal networks were loaded with panic, PBS's White House reporter stuck to repeating the desperate campaign talking points. 

Part of the American tax-paying experience is knowing that eponymous Amanpour and Company host Christiane Amanpour will use her PBS show to promote Hillary Clinton and abortion. On Monday, she did both, concluding her show by reciting, “As Hillary Clinton famously once said, ‘human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.’”

The latest edition of the Washington Week with The Atlantic weekly political roundtable tried to change the subject from President Biden’s obvious frailty and mental decline to Donald Trump’s odd anecdotes at campaign rallies. Show host (and editor of The Atlantic magazine) Jeffrey Goldberg opened the show by noting the looming Biden-Trump debate,…

In a two-part interview airing Tuesday and Wednesday, the PBS News Hour interviewed controversial COVID responder Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has a new autobiography out. But Fauci was fawned over by tax-funded PBS, couching mild criticism in general terms and steering away from truly important issues about COVID…

Monday’s PBS News Hour handed over a news segment to an ostensible ratings rival, NBC News and its reporter/podcaster Mike Hixenbaugh, who has a new book out with the portentous title They Came for the Schools -- One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms. Hixenbaugh and his onscreen NBC reporting counterpart Antonia Hylton have…

PBS’s Christiane Amanpour likes to say that journalists should be “truthful, not neutral,” but a common theme of Amanpour and Company is that her commitment to the truth only goes one way. For Wednesday’s Juneteenth show, Amanpour claimed that Donald Trump’s presidency and the Supreme Court represent “hurdles” to racial equality, while her guest, Equal Justice Initiative Executive…
