PBS Special Hits GOP for 'Meaner' Debate, Skips Over Scalise Shooting
In a year-ending hour-long PBS election special America at a Crossroads, former NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff uncorked a history of "mean" political debate and violence all conveniently came from the right, with leftism identified as going forward and MAGA going backward, bookended with bits of Woodruff labeling bias, from 1984 to 2023.
PBS: Pope Francis Has ‘Gained Adoration’ For His LGBTQ+ Inclusion
Slot him into the media’s “Strange New Respect for Religion” category: Pope Francis, beloved by liberals for his “progressive” tack toward the LGBTQ movement -- and hostility toward conservative Catholics. PBS Weekend was the latest to genuflect toward the “social reform” minded (i.e. liberal-pleasing) pontiff on Saturday.
PBS Chuckles Over GOP's 'Seinfeld of Impeachment Votes' About Nothing
Washington Week with The Atlantic, public television’s tax-funded weekly political roundtable with an ostensible commitment to balance, went along 100% with the Democratic view of the Biden impeachment proceedings House Republicans officially launched last week. This week’s panel treated the launch by House Republicans of formal impeachment proceedings against President Biden with…
Marcus Attacks GOP For 'Shameful Misuse of the Impeachment Power'
In a surprising development, PBS NewsHour’s Friday weekly news recap featured almost a debate between New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus on House Republicans formally approving an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden with the former wondering what the big deal is and the latter labeling it a “shameful misuse of the…
PBS Hosts Partisan ‘Impeachment Expert’ on GOP's 'Illegitimate' Effort
On Wednesday's PBS NewsHour, host William Brangham neutrally noted the launch by House Republicans of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden. But PBS fell short with its partisan pick for an expert “impeachment expert” to explain things: "One of the embarrassing things that happened at that last hearing is, it became obvious to everybody that there was no evidence of…
PBS: Genocidal Chant Just a Call to 'Live Freely Alongside Israelis'?
Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured disturbing equivocation about the Hamas slogan "from the river to the sea," a reference to the eradication of Israel. Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez made her own offensive statement. Both Jews and Hamas-adjacent anti-Semites know what it means when pro-Palestinian mobs shout “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” but Barron-Lopez…
Column: Tagging Evangelical Christians as a 'Polarizing Extreme'
It seems like every leftist network has welcomed Alberta to trash conservative Christians through his latest book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism. Alberta wrote this book to argue that Trump-supporting Christians are apostates and enemies of democracy. They are polarizing extremists. And what, by contrast, is the libertine left?
Amanpour: Trump 'Doubling Down on His Vision of Being a Dictator'
Trump (Second-Term) Derangement Syndrome was on display in a very special issue of The Atlantic monthly magazine, dated January/February 2024 (see “The Atlantic Melts Down at a Second Trump Term ”) and the PBS-aired interview show Amanpour & Co. was on it, with an interview with Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg. The Atlantic has tilted to the…
Tax-Funded PBS’s ‘Brief But Spectacular’ Push for Prison Abolition
The taxpayer-funded PBS NewsHour show on Thursday once again smuggled in left-wing propaganda in its “Brief But Spectacular” feature which occasionally appears at the ends of shows, sometimes a “black queer” poet to soften the hard-edged policies being advocated. This week it was prison abolition with a racial edge under the online rubric “A Brief But Spectacular take on how to…
PBS Relays Sob Stories on Palestinian Prisoners, Lie Goes Unchallenged
Taxpayer-funded PBS relayed unverified sob stories about the release of Palestinian prisoners by Israel as part of its truce with Hamas terrorists, while letting a pro-Palestinian lie about tolerance of Jews in Arab countries go unchallenged, on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour. Schifrin sympathized with Nawaf Al-Salaima, the father of the rock-thrower: "So, how, sir, in your…
PBS Repeatedly Insists Hunter 'Does Not In Anyway Implicate' Father
With Hunter Biden being charged with multiple tax-related felonies, the cast of Friday’s PBS NewsHour wanted to emphasize what it considered the main takeaway “the indictment does not in any way implicate President Joe Biden.”
PBS or DNC? NewsHour Host Honors Liz Cheney and Her Dictator Doom
Is it the PBS NewsHour or the DNC NewsHour? Many nights, you couldn't tell the difference. Co-host Amna Nawaz interviewed Liz Cheney on Thursday, and she was just like NPR's Leila Fadel in merely facilitating all of Cheney's Republican-ripping talking points from her new book. Republican tax dollars are used to trash Republicans.
NPR Offers Leila Fadel Coddle to Liz Cheney
Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio was aggressively competing to be the most interview spot for Liz Cheney on Monday's Morning Edition. Anchor Leila Fadel was every bit as promotional as say, Asma Khalid was with Kamala Harris a year ago. Cheney is now in the pantheon of Democrat heroes.
PBS Provides PR for Planned Parenthood: '7,000 Fewer Abortions' Is Bad
The taxpayer-supported PBS News Weekend show on Saturday provided some helpful PR for the abortion megaplex Planned Parenthood. It’s been a favorite source for pro-abortion alarmist takes ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. As usual with PBS, there are no voices raised to celebrate saving infant lives, but a single-minded focus on the lost…
