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.

The PBS weekly political roundtable Washington Week on Friday used Hunter Biden’s surprise appearance at a White House state dinner held for India’s prime minister to actually linger over the Hunter Biden controversy, who attended the dinner just days after news of his plea agreement with the Department of Justice. But the panelists didn’t express shock at the appearance of…

A very special subscriber email, the subject line “Standing up to hate: Reflecting on the Pride flag,” cemented National Public Radio’s position as a left-wing woke entity first and journalistic entity a distance second: "This is a special Pride-themed edition of the Up First newsletter. Catch up on the NPR network's Pride coverage this month and meet some of NPR's LGBTQ+ employees."…

Next time you catch the PBS News Hour on Friday evening (it’s partially funded by your taxes, after all), close your eyes and try to tell the difference between liberal Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and “conservative” counterpart David Brooks of the New York Times during the show’s weekly political roundtable. Capehart is one of many liberal voices on PBS…

Hunter Biden, the controversial son of the president, pled guilty to two federal charges of tax fraud and a felony charge of gun possession on Tuesday, and that evening’s taxpayer-funded PBS News Hour proved itself eager to move along, dismissing Republican accusations of a cushy plea deal from his father’s Department of Justice, appealing to emotion by painting President Joe Biden as…

On Monday’s edition of the tax-supported Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour interviewed Anita Hill, Brandeis University Professor and of course, the woman who accused now-Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Hill has been hailed in the liberal media since her nationally televised 1991 confrontation with the U.S Senate and Thomas, and Amanpour shoehorned her in to…

Not long after condemning Christian pastors for not wanting drag queens at their Christmas parade, PBS has managed to outdo themselves on Tuesday by claiming that the Bible teaches that there is nothing wrong with transitioning four-year olds.

Yet another testy exchange transpired on the PBS NewsHour between reporters and Republicans. Host Amna Nawaz and new Republican presidential candidate, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, got into it on Friday evening. Nawaz was greatly troubled that Suarez offered a hypothetical response to a Trump conviction, if Suarez somehow became President of the United States.
