The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour fiercely attacked both presidential candidate Donald Trump and its journalistic competitors Fox News for racism in a segment that appeared online under the heading “Trump deploys racist tactics as Biden rematch appears likely.”  They reached back to smear Nixon and Reagan as well as they talked to a leftist about "dog-whistle politics."

The PBS current affairs program Amanpour & Co. on Thursday hosted the invariably self-assured long-time New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who unleashed some harsh criticism of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But then things took a surprising and welcome turn, as Friedman criticized journalists’ double standards in its war coverage. What about…

PBS and NPR are funded by taxpayers – federal, state, and local. But they’re “owned” by the Left. Look no further than a very biased Planned Parenthood study fishing numbers out of the air to assert that there were more than 64,000 “people” who became pregnant from rapes in red states with abortion bans. No one who would criticize or even question this effort was allowed on air. 

The PBS News Hour Thursday evening circled back to its gender obsession (already documented in our study on PBS’s coverage of gender identity issues). Field reporter Stephanie Sy commiserated with an old favorite source, The 19^th News, a gender-obsessed outlet named after the 19^th Amendment, which guaranteed the vote to women but now dismisses their…

PBS’s arts and culture reporter Jeffrey Brown performed the trick of making the Washington Post’s liberal movie critic Ann Hornaday sound objective and reasonable, on Wednesday evening’s edition of the NewsHour, in a segment on the Oscar nominations that appeared online under the heading, “Oscar nominations spark controversy with snubs of Barbie’s Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig…

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour examined the possible 2024 Biden-Trump presidential election rematch with New York Times’ London bureau chief Mark Landler, who reveres the left-wing BBC, and Emily Maitlis, a former BBC anchor. Takeaways from their Wednesday appearance on the PBS show were that the media should highlight Biden’s essential competence and Trump’s…

There was much media angst over Donald Trump declaring he would be a dictator on “Day One” of a second term in office to promote border security and oil drilling. Scrape off the spicy language, and it sounds more like the standard executive orders every president issues upon taking…

PBS’s weekly political roundtable show Washington Week with The Atlantic lamented that Republican voters would never heed the wisdom of the Washington Post’s fact checker. In the latest edition, two Atlantic staffers responded to comments by Wall Street Journal reporter Nancy Youssef considering how potential candidates Biden and Trump could respond to the current…

Conservative journalist Christopher Rufo blew the whistle on Seattle NPR affiliate KUOW, where an online reporter named Katie Campbell bizarrely compared him to a Proud Boy leader who's in jail for January 6...and the KKK. This is your tax dollars at work in a blue sta

PBS NewsHour devoted two stories about children struggling in schools after the COVID pandemic. But amid the handwringing there was no mention of how teachers unions are to blame for what turned out to be unnecessary school shutdowns, for over a year in some liberal cities, ruining activities and life events students had come to rely on. Even worse, a story about delays in speech…

NPR hasn't reported on the scandal of Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis potentially ruining her election-interference case against Donald Trump by having an affair with her married special prosecutor, who took her on vacations with the money she was paying him. No, they were too busy sounding like State-Run Radio on Thursday night by offering a four-minute press release for Kamala Harris,…

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are having a bit of a disagreement about what post-war Gaza will look like and to make sense of it all, PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett invited foreign policy non-experts, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks to the Friday show to figure out why.…

Even some in the liberal press were a bit bothered by the Associated Press’s decision to call the Iowa caucuses for Donald Trump at 7:30 p.m., just 30 minutes after they’d begun and before some caucus-goers had even voted. The decision was especially significant, given the handwringing in the mainstream press about the dangers a second Trump term would pose to free elections and democracy…

On the PBS show Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour celebrated Latino actress America Ferrera and her monologue in the Barbie movie. Ferrera said  "it's the Barbie movie that no one asked for. That no one thought we needed, you know." Amanpour shot back: "And kind of subversively, seriously feminist."
