CBS/CNN/NBC Smear Rural America, Tie Elmo Tweets to Defunding PBS, NPR
Between Monday night and Tuesday afternoon, liberal TV networks and streaming platforms went to bat in some horribly misleading and embarrassing lengths for their comrades in bias PBS and NPR amid the expected Senate vote this week on a rescission package to claw back $1 billion in funding for the far-left outlets. Along with insulting rural Americans, the new spin included tying the Texas…

NPR Airs Puff Piece on Gay, Formerly 'Undocumented' Latino Democrat
NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday devoted a three-minute story to the new ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. A search of NPR's website revealed the committee's Republican chairman, James Comer has received only three soundbites on NPR in 2025. Former illegal immigrants who are openly gay? More newsworthy.

David Brooks Tribute: Gergen Was 'A Good PBS Conservative Like Me'
Friday night’s PBS News Hour tribute to former presidential adviser and former News Hour “conservative voice” David Gergen, who died July 10 at the age of 83, demonstrates how mild, center-left political personas have long been the only flavor of "conservatism" that taxpayer-funded PBS can tolerate. (And if the descriptions of Gergen reminds you of another journalist playing…

NewsBusters Podcast: No More Taxpayer-Funded Bullying of Conservatives
The debate over so-called "public" broadcasting should be focused on its fundamental unfairness toward Republicans and undisguised loathing of conservatives. PBS and NPR and their Democrat allies want this fight to be over Elmo and emergency alerts. They can't deny how flagrantly they push a leftist agenda, so they have to change the subject.

Pants on Fire: CBS, MSNBC Insult Rural America Defending NPR, PBS
Ahead of a likely vote this week on a rescissions package to claw back $1 billion in funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS, CBS’s streaming platform and MSNBC went full doom and gloom and lied to viewers Monday, insulting their intelligence by arguing rural Americans rely on NPR and PBS as “critical” lifeline, “their only source of information,” and “emergency alerts.”

PBS Celebrates Mahmoud Khalil, Victim of Trump Free Speech 'Crackdown'
Friday’s Amanpour & Co. show on PBS celebrated Mahmoud Khalil, who led an extreme anti-Israel (and pro-Hamas) protest group at Columbia University. Amanpour asserted he was detained as part of “Trump's crackdown on free speech, immigration, and elite universities.” There is no First Amendment right to support violence and terrorist groups.

Did NPR Sleep Through The Texas Floods?
Texas Public Radio claims it should continue receiving taxpayer funding because it provides vital news and emergency alerts that “others don’t” – but, when it comes to the devastating floods of July 4-5, just the opposite appears to be true.

'HUGE Transfer of Wealth': Amanpour Turns PBS Into Socialist Channel
Thursday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which appears on taxpayer-funded PBS, veered even further left than usual with a glowing interview of Mr. Socialist himself, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Host Christiane Amanpour’s set-up for the interview, which launched the show, left no mistaking where she stood on Trump’s big bill: On the hard left: "The bill ensures a huge transfer of…

PBS News Hour Weirdly Defends Homeless Encampments in California
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour show intro set the tone on an upcoming segment on California finally taking action to stop intrusive, unsightly, and potentially dangerous homeless encampments infesting his liberal state, with co-host Amna Nawaz talking of “California`s controversial crackdown on homeless encampments” before a clip of a UCLA scholar saying “criminalizing homelessness” will…

Will GOP Senators Consider How PBS and NPR Gently Promote the DNC?
One easy way to see how NPR and PBS are taxpayer-funded Democrat Party platforms is to witness their recent interviews with the chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin. Neither turned to touchy internal issues, specifically the brief career of David Hogg as a DNC leader. The questions seemed geared to this: How do we win? Will Senate Republicans consider this on the…

PBS's Sudden Respect for Limited Government, On Increased ICE Spending
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour showed more strange respect to a limited-government organization, the libertarian Cato Institute, when their views were in sympathy with the anti-deportation crusade of PBS News. White House correspondent Laura Barron–Lopez broke down the “more than $160 billion that are going to immigration enforcement and the deportation operation.”

'It's Shameful': PBS Bemoans State Department Cuts
The cast of PBS News Hour came together on Friday to decry the “shameful” nature of that day’s layoffs at the State Department. While New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart would claim the move would negatively impact U.S. foreign policy, their reasons for doing so were not convincing.
