Brooks Plays Dumb On 'From The River To The Sea' Chants
New York Times columnist and PBS NewsHour Friday weekly news recapper David Brooks claimed he isn't sure progressives know what they are talking about when they chant “from the river to the sea.” Whether Brooks actually has no idea or is playing dumb doesn’t really matter, PBS viewers deserve a better conservative perspective.
PBS Turns to Al-Jazeera Vet to Promote, Repeat Hezbollah-Linked Pundit
On Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, “special correspondent” Simona Foltyn questioned Gen. Abbas Ibrahim, a former Lebanese intelligence official with close ties to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group designated as a terrorist group by the United States. Foltyn worked for the virulently anti-Israel outlet Arab news network Al-Jazeera English from 2019 to 2021 (on the…
NPR Host Asks Jeffries About 'Extreme Right Wing,' Avoids Dem Radicals
NPR Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep interviewed House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries on Tuesday, and once again, he was every bit as accommodating as he was in his many softball interviews with Barack Obama. Inskeep asked if new Speaker Mike Johnson was "extreme right wing," but he skipped asking Jeffries about his party's extreme left wing, especially the censure of radical…
After 'Vermin' Remark, PBS Finds Historian for 'Trump Is Hitler' Talk
The Monday evening PBS NewsHour starred recurring guest, New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat, using Trump's harsh campaign rhetoric at a rally on Veteran’s Day to compare the former president to Hitler. (With the far-left’s public anti-semitic behavior of late, some are cheekily tempted to ask if being compared to Hitler is a good thing or a bad thing on the left.) Ben-Ghiat…
PBS: Go Vasectomies! Birth Control Not Just For ‘People With Uteruses'
After the PBS News Hour aired a story on “How climate change risks impact people with disabilities,” they offered another niche left-wing cultural selection on Saturday’s PBS News Weekend, courtesy of St. Louis-based PBS “community correspondent” Gabrielle Hays, about a spike in men supposedly rushing out to get vasectomies after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade…
NPR Host Gushes Over Nasty Feminist Website Jezebel After It Ends
The nasty feminist blog named Jezebel was shut down by its owner G/O Media last week, after a long run of outrages. But NPR All Things Considered anchor Juana Summers interviewed its founder Anna Holmes and gushed over how it was essential reading and "really relevant." All Things Considered never considered a conservative rebuttal. Call it All Conservative Views Ignored…
PBS Pushes Democrat-Led SCOTUS ‘Ethics’ Reform: ‘What's the Holdup?'
The PBS NewsHour once again pushed the liberal crusade against conservative Supreme Court justices even as the issues has fallen off the map at other outlets. PBS is part of the matrix of liberal pressure groups, including ProPublica, aiming to hem in the conservative Supreme Court, as its decisions have turned against the left’s decades of gains, made on the cheap under an activist…
Brooks Mourns People Don't Differentiate Fatah, Hamas Terrorism
As the Biden Administration starts to go wobbly on the Israel-Hamas War with its efforts to turn four-hour temporary pauses to multiday pauses, New York Times columnist and PBS NewsHour’s supposedly conservative Friday pundit praised Biden, saying “he’s done quite well.” At the same time, Brooks mourned people don’t differentiate between the types of terrorism Hamas and Fatah…
PBS Puts Onus on Israeli Victims: ‘Carrots’ for Hamas to Free Hostages
One way to demonstrate the slant in PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war is to compare and contrast how their interviewers treat representatives of the respective sides. On Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour, reporter Leila Molana-Allen conducted a friendly interview with Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, which represents the West Bank, and who…
NPR Lefty Listener Shock:60% See Anti-Israel Bias,24% Anti-Palestinian
National Public Radio’s “Public Editor” Kelly McBride dismissed complaints about NPR’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, examining it through a liberal prism and declaring it excellent, although even NPR’s uber-liberal band of listeners offered complaints the coverage was excessively pro-Palestinian. Two major pro-Israel media watchdog groups, CAMERA and Honest Reporting, have also…
Hacks for Hamas: PBS Sees ‘Staggering Milestone in Gaza’ on Death Toll
Even more so than the network evening news shows, the PBS NewsHour and PBS News Weekend news programs have been obsessed with the death toll in Gaza during Israel’s counterattack, even to the point of downplaying the latest Trump courtroom dramas (usually catnip for the liberal press) in order to lead every night with the grim scenes out of Gaza. It’s a one-sided view that…
Trans-Obsessed PBS Gushes Over 'Hero' Semenya, Alleged 'Female' Runner
Tax-funded PBS continues to push transgender issues: Amanpour & Co. on PBS featured Olympic runner Caster Semenya talking about her new book. Semenya, who competes as female, was born with male XY chromosomes (females are XX) and the testosterone levels of a male. “She” has no uterus or fallopian tubes, and does not menstruate. Her condition is popularly described as “intersex.”…
PBS NewsHour Agenda: Trashing Conservatives in Congress Is What We Do
The "Week In Review" segment at the PBS NewsHour on Friday nights is a popular segment. That might be because liberals love the way they trash conservative Republicans routinely. Sen. Tommy Tuberville was the primary target, but Jonathan Capehart trashed new House Speaker Mike Johnson. Brooks said he wouldn't do that. He compared him to FDR, and then insisted FDR is a giant next to "…
PBS Priorities:Fretting Over Phony ‘Islamophobia,’ Not Actual Jew-Hate
Thursday’s PBS NewsHour indulged in offensive moral equivalence, pretending Islamophobia in the United States was as big a threat to public safety than the current wave of violent anti-Semitism hitting progressive cities and college campuses, while also sliming Fox News hosts as endangering Muslims. Host Geoff Bennett’s segment led with “Islamophobia,” even while Jews are under attack…
