Nobel Peace Prize winner and former CNN reporter Maria Ressa continued her book tour on Wednesday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS where she declared that the reason why democracy is backsliding across the world is because the media “lost our gatekeeping powers to technology.”

The chairman of the BBC has indicated “the BBC does have a liberal bias” but added “the institution is fighting against it.” Richard Sharp, in an interview in the Sunday Times, said he and Tim Davie, the director-general, had drawn up a ten-point plan on impartiality, anti-bias training along with reviews of news output in a drive to tackle the problem.

Hillary Clinton joined PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Thursday to preview the Clinton Presidential Center’s upcoming summit on the status of women’s rights around the world. For the former Secretary of State, the state of women’s rights in Iran, in Afghanistan under the Taliban, and in Ukraine where Russian soldiers use rape as a weapon is analogous to Arkansas, where pro-lifers run…

Documentarian Ken Burns took his book tour to PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Tuesday where he hysterically warned that “authoritarianism” and “nationalism” are on the rise in America putting everything from elections to the independent judiciary in trouble. With analysis such as that, it should not be surprising Burns was both short on facts and hypocritical when making his assessment…

On Monday, NPR posted a very one-sided report headlined “Bills targeting trans youth are growing more common — and radically reshaping lives.” Republicans are “targeting” the “trans kids,” and they might kill themselves. 

For Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour welcomed Victor Gao of the China National Association of International Studies to praise China’s zero-COVID policy and condemn the protestors calling for Xi Jinping’s removal. While it would not be fair to say Amanpour lobbed softballs to Gao, she was not as tough as she should’ve been…

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, New York Times columnist David Brooks responded to a question about lame-duck legislation after several mass shootings. He was pessimistic about anything passing, but touted the idea of "a massive cultural shift" to "regard our common good, more frankly, in a European style," instead of our terribly "individualistic" gun culture. 

NPR calls its evening newscast All Things Considered, a title that’s a nightly lie. Consider their crusading story, “Carrying out executions took a secret toll on workers — then changed their politics.” Some execution workers are so disturbed by their work that they’ve considered suicide. But just weeks earlier, NPR celebrated an abortion clinic in Michigan. No one was disturbed.

A Thursday interview of Equality Florida press secretary Brandon Wolf by PBS Amanpour and Company’s Hari Sreenivasan was taped before the revelation that the Colorado Springs shooter identifies as non-binary, but that is not an excuse for blaming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and “right-wing influencers” for motivating others to commit or threaten to commit acts of violence.

The leftists who make endless propaganda with our tax money have laid out a plush red carpet for newly elected bisexual transgender radicals in state legislatures. On Thursday, NPR's All Things Considered typically failed to consult an opposing point of view in a tenderly promotional eight-minute interview. PBS NewsHour did the same.

The phrase "Defund NPR" was trending on Twitter after NPR's tweet about Trump announcing a run in 2024 described him as Trump, "who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power," is running again. 

AOC recently turned 33, so it’s time for a younger socialist Democrat for the media to swoon over. In September, I found at least eight sappy national interviews with 25-year-old Maxwell Frost in Florida. After he won the general election in a blue district by 19 points and became the first member of Generation Z to win a House seat, the swoon cycle began all over again.

When Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks joined PBS NewsHour host Judy Woodruff for their Friday recap of the week’s news, the natural topic of conversation was the election results. Capehart’s big takeaway was that things other than the economy, like abortion, saved Democrats while Brooks cheered the demise of…

National Public Radio hates Republicans, and it doesn't matter if Republicans pay a chunk of their salaries. On Wednesday, Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep brought on New York Times Magazine writer Robert Draper, author of a book colorfully titled Weapons Of Mass Delusion: When The Republican Party Lost Its Mind.
