At the PBS NewsHour, they hate the overturning of Roe vs. Wade and abortion on demand so much, they will relate it to domestic violence. As if abortion isn't violence? The Dobbs decision led to a "massive uptick" at the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

Three recent stories by newly minted New York Times congressional correspondent Karoun Demirjian on the fight to pass the National Defense Authorization Act demonized Republicans for opposing radical social agendas Democrats are pushing on the military. She also appeared on tax-funded PBS to rant against alleged GOP racism. 

PBS NewHour host Geoff Bennett, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart came together on Friday to discuss multiple-defense related controversies from the past week and accuse Republicans of “screwing up” the military for the sake of their “culture wars.”

The media may occasionally observe the massive learning loss caused by shuttered schools during the COVID pandemic, an unnecessary and actively harmful measure encouraged by left-wing teachers unions, which protested reopening schools, sometimes with disgusting anti-back-to-school protests, even after it was obvious that children were the group least affected by COVID. But there was no mention…

On Amanpour & Co., journalist Michel Martin commiserated with Nina Jankowicz, cringeworthy songbird and appointed director of the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board before the Orwellian outfit was scuttled after outcry from conservatives and liberals. Host Bianna Golydryga set the tone with her introduction: "Now to the battle for the truth."

When you're a journalist writing books panicking people on the climate and demanding a government-ordered end to fossil fuels, you can count on taxpayer-funded public broadcasting to help you push your radical agenda. Jeff Goodell scored a PBS interview on Monday for his book The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Earth, and on Wednesday he was awarded 36 minutes…

The PBS News Hour Monday evening offered yet another one-sided take on a fiercely contested ideological issue: The Supreme Court’s striking down of racial preferences in college admissions. Host Amna Nawaz’s guest was a UCLA doctor and racial activist. Together,  they decried the Supreme Court decision and schemed for ways to work around it, including the possibly dangerous step of…

For their Iconic America documentary on the Statue of Liberty, PBS made sure to get plenty of perspectives on what that statue means. Unfortunately, it was a wide variety of left-wing perspectives as PBS struggled to decide whether Lady Liberty rebukes immigration enforcement or partly associates liberty with whiteness.

Jeff Goodell, environmental author and Rolling Stone contributor with a tendency toward climate apocalypticism, joined fill-in Amanpour & Co. host Bianna Golodryga on Monday for a segment that extrapolated wildly from the hot Texas summer (stop the presses!) to find an “existential threat” in a world-wide “climate crisis.” He even said "these extreme heat events are…

The tax-funded PBS NewsHour marked the Independence Day holiday in its own inimitable style by trying to tie the patriotic celebration to right-wing extremism and the January 6 Capitol Hill riots. Congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins sat down with two liberal professors to decry the dangers of the right wing on Tuesday evening. Host Amna Nawaz set the scene for PBS’s attempt to…

The Supreme Court ended its term with several major decisions favorable to conservatives, and tax-funded public broadcasting, which is ostensibly objective, failed to hide its displeasure in its Friday evening analysis, including its take on the Court’s 6-3 decision in the 303 CREATIVE LLC case, that a website designer in Colorado had a First Amendment right to refuse to design…

Friday’s edition of the tax-funded PBS News Hour took a jab at the influential new conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty, which drew some Republican presidential candidates to its convention last week. Moms was founded to oppose school closings and mask-vaccine mandates in schools and which now targets the teaching of Critical Race Theory and gender identity in schools.…

Monday’s edition of the tax-supported PBS NewsHour featured more of the unstinting, un-journalistic cheerleading of a segment of left-wing activists without a pretense of fairness. This time PBS’s flagship news program is lamenting the “right-wing backlash” forcing companies to “rethink Pride.” June is “Pride Month,” a fact you’ve been reminded of every time you turn on your…

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed on Friday’s PBS NewsHour that the Supreme Court’s ruling that the First Amendment protects a Christian web designer from having to create a website for same-sex weddings is “poison” for society.
