PBS Hails Biden Press Conference, Compares Him To Reagan
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks joined PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett on Friday for their weekly recap of the news, which naturally included President Joe Biden’s Thursday press conference. Capehart urged Democrats to stop “self-immolating” over Biden’s candidacy, while Brooks compared him to President…
PBS Avoids Networks' Pro-Biden Optimism, Reveal Democratic Agonizing
On Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, White House reporter Lisa Desjardins sounded unconvinced that President Biden had settled the waters among his Democratic caucus after his awful debate performance, pessimism that stood in contrast to the national news networks, whose White House reporters have hastily leapt back on board the Biden train after a day or so of relative calm on…
NPR's Folkenflik CHOKES on Comparison of Joe Scarborough to Hannity
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.
CBS Reporter Pushes Back on ‘Extreme Language’ of Sotomayor Dissent
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…
Tax-Funded MSNBC? PBS Anchor Amna Nawaz Rips Trump as Lying Tyrant
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…
Amanpour Plays 'SEAL Team 6' Card on SCOTUS Ruling With Obama Lawyer
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…
Column: PBS Stuffs News Hour with 'Torrent of Lies' Trump Trash Talk
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.
PolitiFact's 100 Percent Anti-Trump Post-Debate TILT Underlined by PBS
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…
PBS 'Washington Week' Memory-Holes '23 Praise of Biden’s Mental Acuity
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…
PBS: ‘Visibly Aging Man’ vs. ‘Authoritarian-Leaning Convicted Felon'
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…
After Disastrous Debate, PBS Reporter Parrots Team Biden's Happy Talk
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.
'As Hillary Clinton Said,' PBS Anchor Cheerleads For Abortion Activism
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.’”
On PBS, ABC's Jon Karl Claims Trump Is Losing It, Getting 'Fuzzier'
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,…
PBS Fawns Over ‘I Am the Science’ Fauci, Ignores Covid Controversies
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…
