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."

It was Happy Hour for the cultural left on Friday evening’s PBS NewsHour, as host Geoff Bennett celebrated with PBS’s St. Louis-based “communities correspondent” Gabrielle Hays on how progressives and pro-choice Republicans were beating back Republican extremism on abortion and transgender rights in various statehouses: "In Kansas yesterday, Republican lawmakers overrode the…

The tax-funded PBS NewsHour on Wednesday night was the latest outlet to leap upon the cause of Montana legislator and transgender Democrat Zooey Zephyr, barred from the House chamber for violating rules of decorum during a debate on a bill that would ban so-called “gender-affirming care” for gender-dysmorphic minors wishing to surgically or chemically “transition.” The vote came after…

Yet another fight in Congress over raising the “debt ceiling” or “debt limit,” to meet current spending commitments, has begun in earnest, with Republicans demanding actual spending cuts before they begin negotiations on adding still more debt. But tax-funded National Public Radio barely mentioned that intimidating figure in its coverage, instead playing into partisan Democratic sentiment,…

A double panic attack took place on Friday’s edition of the talk show Amanpour & Co, which co-airs on CNN and PBS, over Twitter chief Elon Musk no longer handing out account verifications (i.e. “blue checks”) to liberal journalists willy-nilly, but instead giving them to anyone willing to pay the fee. Musk’s move apparently threatens an onslaught of “disinformation.” Musk also “punished”…

Friday’s PBS NewsHour pundits discussed Biden preparing to announce a re-election bid without mentioning this week’s big Hunter Biden scoops, and the same thing happened on the PBS journalist roundtable Washington Week. In the show’s last minute, they discussed House GOP investigations – but not Hunter’s name. Reporter Heather Caygle of Punchbowl News said “Have they landed a…

A flurry of legislative action on transgender issues has sparked more painfully evasive language from the media over what used to be easy-to-state basic biological categories, like “male” and “female.” Check out the painfully awkward lead to Kevin Freking’s Associated Press story Thursday: "Transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male would be barred from competing on…

The weekly table discussion on PBS NewsHour between Washington Post Associate Editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks spent some time on Friday discussing President Biden’s upcoming re-election campaign. Ignoring all the week’s developments surrounding Hunter, Brooks claimed Biden’s in a good spot, “There hasn't been any obvious gaffes, big…

The PBS NewsHour Weekend show on Sunday pitched for more Euro-socialist-style government programs -- for the children in a school lunch “crisis,” and in the name of U.S. average life expectancy. To make the argument that the United States should be more like other “industrialized” countries in order to boost U.S. life expectancy, host John Yang teed up a liberal doctor and a universal…
