PBS NewsHour anchor Geoff Bennett was right about one thing regarding a new book by journalist Joshua Green, The Rebels: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Struggle For a New American Politics: "what doesn't get nearly as much attention is the far left's influence in the Democratic Party." But the Green interview skipped controversies and any…

Thursday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which co-airs on CNN International and government-funded PBS, was obsessed about South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, devoting over half an hour to the subject with two guests. Both praised South Africa’s biased, hostile anti-Israel case. At one point Golodryga apparently found Israel’s…

National Public Radio is a sandbox for the Left. The “news” there is manufactured by leftists, for leftists. You can find it easily in the latest interviews about the Biden re-election campaign. The interviewers are clearly nervous that Biden’s messaging isn’t working. It’s not that Biden’s incompetent, it’s that voters are ignorant.

Journalist Tim Alberta is author of The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, a book touted as the author’s “deeply personal examination of the divisions that threaten to destroy the American evangelical movement.” He’s been making the rounds of friendly liberal media outlets lamenting fear-based evangelical Christian loyalty to Donald Trump…

Taxpayer-funded PBS once again pushed a fringe issue into the forefront of the news. This time it was a purely symbolic one. Saturday’s PBS News Weekend, devoted a full five minutes to Minnesota’s move to replace its state flag, staggeringly described by PBS as “what one critic called a cluttered, genocidal mess,” with a less offensive design. Well, that escalated…

Christiane Amanpour welcomed CNN colleague and senior political analyst John Avlon onto her Monday show that is aired in the U.S. on PBS to discuss President Joe Biden’s latest speeches. In Avlon’s world, Biden is fighting the dark forces of “white supremacy” and “Christian nationalism.” Ironically, he also believes that it is important for journalists to be more activist as currently there “…

The PBS NewsHour on Friday ran with the anti-Trump talking points from the Joe Biden re-election campaign, with Biden posing as defender of democracy at the historical site Valley Forge, painting Donald Trump as a danger to democracy (never mind Biden’s Democratic Party throwing Trump off the ballot in two states and counting). Nawaz used loaded liberal language, claiming Biden was “…

PBS released a new America Reframed documentary of Monday about reparations and the taxpayer-funded network went all in with the bad faith smears, strawmen burning, and stereotyping of those who oppose such measures.

On The NPR Politics Podcast on Friday, a trio of NPR reporters expressed alarm that Joe Biden’s “better angel speech” at Valley Forge wasn’t winning the day, that opinion polls show backsliding on January 6 and Republican “disinformation” is taking over. Congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales brought up a Washington Post poll that found the percentage of Americans who say Trump…

Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour dealt with the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, a shocking move fueled by her botched performance at a congressional hearing on pro-Hamas protests held on progressive college campuses. Gay was further doomed by myriad examples of plagiarism within her incredibly modest collection (for a Harvard president) of published research. But tax-funded PBS…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart unleashed a real headscratcher on Friday’s PBS NewsHour as he took exception to the idea that Democrats are trying to kick Donald Trump off the ballot, declaring such claims to be “untrue” and Democrats have “nothing to do with” the efforts. Don’t expect Glenn Kessler to fact-check this one.

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured veteran journalist Judy Woodruff cheering on an obsessive group of “citizen investigators” who have teamed up with the media’s favorite domestic surveillance organization to turn in people who entered the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021: “How citizen investigators are helping the FBI track down Jan. 6 rioters.” One suspects…

CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour may claim to be truthful and not neutral, but when Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib joined her on her Wednesday show to blame Israel for the twin bombings in Iran that killed 84 people at the tomb of Qasem Soleimani, Amanpour simply noted that was “your opinion,” but since the program aired, ISIS has taken credit for the attacks, which was always…

A very special episode of Washington Week with The Atlantic aired Friday, devoted wholly to the magazine’s very special anti-Trump issue, already pushed on the PBS NewsHour. A liberal dream team of Atlantic magazine staff joined editor Jeffrey Goldberg took over the taxpayer-supported airwaves to fret over a potential second term for Trump.
