PBS congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins after the speech: “You may have seen this on the screen. House Republicans were not listening to that speech, by and large. Not just out of defiance, they just seemed not to be paying attention. They were almost only here physically, almost bordering on a disrespectful way, and is something I've never seen to this degree before.”

The PBS NewsHour was friendly territory for Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday night. PBS anchor Geoff Bennett and Jean-Pierre were both MSNBC regulars a few years back. The whole interview sounded like a Democrat strategy session. How does Biden use this speech to beat Trump? It's allegedly a speech appealing for "unity," but it's a campaign speech?

The PBS NewsHour on Monday reacted badly to the Supreme Court’s 9-0 body blow to liberal dreams of having Donald Trump removed from state ballots in November and thus denying voters their choice of presidential candidates. But PBS reporter William Brangham tried desperately to salvage the credibility of the dubious original case involving a bizarre (and now officially unconstitutional…

PBS News Weekend anchor John Yang on Saturday threw some trendy trans silliness into his introduction to a news story suspicious of crisis pregnancy centers that actually help women deliver their babies instead of aborting them (which PBS has no problem with): Crisis pregnancy centers provide counseling and other prenatal services from an anti-abortion perspective. Their supporters…

With dueling presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump facing off on immigration and making separate appearances along the southern border, PBS NewsHour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez reported from the Biden stop on Thursday evening and made her feelings clear on the taxpayer-supported news program. Barron-Lopez portrayed the Democratic president as taking the immigration fight…

You can tell a media outlet is on the left by the way it's resistant to describing leftist allies – even their radicals in their base – with an ideological label. Sometimes, you’ll know someone is a raving socialist when they are called “liberal” or “progressive,” like Bernie Sanders. But pro-Hamas activists are never presented as “far left,” “hard left,” or “radical left.”  

Tuesday evening’s PBS NewsHour covered last week’s brutal murder of a college student by an illegal immigrant on the campus of the University of Georgia. It began factually but descended into typical PBS left-wing apologia -- funded by taxpayers like you. The NewsHour aired tributes from the president of her sorority, then summarized the case in a forthright manner. But then…

Thursday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour ran a segment which appeared online under the exaggerated headline, “Research reveals depths of racial and ethnic bias in health care.” It’s part of “Race Matters,” yet another regular PBS segment aimed at a particular wing of the progressive movement, courtesy of your tax dollars.

Did a “nonbinary bathroom ban” kill an Oklahoma trans teen? That’s what tax-funded news wants you to think. The PBS NewsHour again demonstrated its fealty to “trans” issues in a Thursday evening story on the tragic case of Nex Benedict, a “non-binary” Oklahoma student who died mysteriously one day after a fight in a school restroom. Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill…

Taxpayer-funded National "Public" Radio hates Republicans, and in red states like Texas, leftists become heroes for their "courage" in dangerous territory. On Wednesday's Morning Edition, openly gay NPR arts reporter Neda Ulaby spent seven minutes touting how "A secret shelf of banned books thrives in a Texas school, under the nose of censors." On NPR, the "censors" are censored:…

On Wednesday, President Biden's brother James testified in the House impeachment inquiry. The PBS NewsHour aired an eight-minute segment on the Biden impeachment that never mentioned James Biden once. Instead, they obsessed over a new Russian-interference angle, as if they forgot the perennial falsehood of the "collusion" conspiracy theories? 

“Breaking the News,” the latest entry in PBS’s documentary series “Independent Lens,” celebrated the 2020 launch of news start-up The 19^th* (asterisk included), which became a popular source for the most woke of PBS NewsHour journalistic guests. The doc’s creators are clearly on the same wavelength with the feminist, LGBTQ-oriented site. From the “About…

Your tax dollars at work -- to laud violent Marxism and a cop killer for Black History Month. PBS News Weekend on Sunday devoted its semi-weekly “Hidden Histories” segment to praise the militant Marxist-black power group the Black Panther Party, founded by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland. His Rutgers professor guest Donna Murch valorized left-wing heroine and cop killer, Assata…

One of the grandest fictions of our leftist media is that somehow, championing “social change” is what makes you a “bona fide news organization.” Anyone who resists that siren song isn’t a professional, but a propagandist. One-sided coverage is great -- if you've picked the right side. NPR displayed this fiction with an audaciously arrogant story headlined “Poland's new government deprograms…
