Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee pounced on overhyped media reports, regarding alleged financial ethics scandals committed by conservative Supreme Court justices, as a pretext to hold hearings. National Public Radio legal reporter Nina Totenberg obliged, with full coverage on Tuesday’s Morning Edition program. A text edition of Totenberg’s report showed her taking…

Tax-supported PBS has attracted heat of late for indoctrinating children on “queer,” transgender, and related issues, including through its PBS LearningMedia brand used in schools, under the rubric “Understanding LGBTQ+ Identity: A Toolkit for Educators.” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed funding for the state’s PBS station for “indoctrination and over-sexualization” of children.…

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart mixed up their usual Friday routine on PBS NewsHour and actually had, by PBS standards, a contentious argument on whether or not media arrogance partly explains Donald Trump’s popularity.

Amanpour & Co., which airs on tax-supported PBS, was enthusiastically on board with the latest trendy Euro-radicalism: “Climate grannies” in Switzerland, attempting to game the European Court of Human Rights to rule that women suffer inordinately under global-warming-caused heat waves, in part because women…sweat less than men. Host Christiane Amanpour took the silly stunt…

The Friday afternoon edition of CNN News Central purported to discover another way in which Republican governors are waging culture wars: defunding PBS. Not only is Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt going after “LGBTQ inclusive programming,” but in doing so, he is making it more difficult more people to learn about impending tornados.

Thursday’s White House press briefing was a barn burner ahead of Title 42’s expiration with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas playing stand-in for the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Not surprisingly, Mayorkas spun a fantastical tale of border security, order, and speedy deportation of illegal immigrants who fail to have their ducks in a row. And, also not…

For the third episode of Iconic America, PBS explored the history and meaning of the Gadsden Flag and during the portion covering the Tea Party protests during the Obama era, the assorted cast sought to reduce those protests to racists and other bigots.

PBS released their latest Frontline documentary on Tuesday with the subtitle of Clarence and Ginni Thomas: Politics, Power and the Supreme Court that purported to uncover why the Thomases view the world the way they do. Ultimately, however, Clarence Thomas was portrayed as a far-right sexual abuser who benefited from affirmative action who rules the way he does on cases in…

How insanely radical and unjust can blue states get? California’s nine-member Reparations Task Force voted May 6 to recommend that state lawmakers provide billions of dollars in compensation payments to black residents along with a formal apology for slavery. NPR touted the commision's work and wouldn't allow an opposing point of view. They strongly suggested white opponents were racist.

Republican Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is standing strong against national media attacks on his veto of funding for the state’s only PBS station.

Saturday’s edition of PBS News Weekend led with a story on the coronation of King Charles in England, but the story was dominated by anti-monarchy protesters. This was not the BBC. Correspondent Malcolm Brabant relayed "The arrests have been widely condemned by opposition parliamentarians, and Human Rights Watch, which said this was something you would expect in Moscow, not London."…

Wednesday’s edition of All Things Considered showcased the latest in a long line of stories from tax-funded NPR trying hard to blur obvious biological lines to further transgender activism. The online version of the report “These states are narrowly defining who is 'female' and 'male' in law” began with a laughable sentence, especially given NPR’s self-image as educated science…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart spent Friday’s PBS NewHour laughing at GOP allegations that Democrats are going after Justice Clarence Thomas simply because they do not like the Supreme Court’s recent rulings, implausible arguing this is just about transparency. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to find a centrist middle ground…

PBS (and CNN) host Christiane Amanpour set up the interview with the president of the notoriously liberal American Library Association with the claim "Book banning reaches new heights. Hari Sreenivasan talks to the president of the American Library Association about how LGBTQ, black, and indigenous stories are being silenced."
