Public Broadcasting

On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, the eponymous host lashed out at West Virginia Governor Jim Justice for daring to use his power as Governor to reform the corrupt leftist public broadcasting system in his state. While many conservatives would prefer it be defunded entirely and be forced to compete in the free market like every other news outlet, Justice…

Journalists at CNN and NPR expressed happiness that President Biden spurned any Super Bowl interview with Fox News. Days before those "failed negotiations," Biden received a warm and open-ended interview with the liberals at PBS NewsHour. It washis first interview with a journalist since before the midterm elections. 

Just as the PBS NewsHour can't stand the idea of a journalist from the conservative media doing the Friday "Week in Review," the Friday night journalist roundtable Washington Week can't imagine putting on a Fox News journalist to share reporting insights from the week. But woke anchor Yamiche Alcindor is perfectly happy to put on her fellow MSNBC pundit Errin Haines, an …

Weekend Edition Saturday is a "news" program, but anchorman Scott Simon can uncork an occasional liberal commentary called "Simon Says." On the Saturday before the Super Bowl, Simon ripped pro football as a violent game, chiding the NFL for basically abusing its labor force after Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest on the field.

The PBS NewsHour, hypersensitive to threats to “gun safety” measures (their words), sounded unpleasantly surprised on Thursday evening’s edition by a federal appeals court ruling allowing people under domestic violence restraining orders to have guns, based on the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision in June 2022. It’s part of a PBS pattern emphasizing what its journalists benignly…

Beyonce set a record for having the most Grammy Awards last Sunday, but people looking for racism everywhere were upset that she was "shut out" of the major categories like Album of the Year. It was ironic that one angry rantfest was a National Public Radio show called Pop Culture Happy Hour. They were mad that "very white" artists kept beating her.

On PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable show Washington Week, National Public Radio Weekend Edition host Ayesha Rascoe and NBC News’ Ryan Nobles (formerly at CNN) discussed the brutal, fatal attack on Tyre Nichols, expanding from the killing to explore bizarre explanations for the attack by the five black police officers, including “white supremacy,” “food insecurity,” and even…

After the first House hearing on Hunter Biden and the Twitter Files, NPR didn’t talk about it on its national network of radio stations. Instead, there was a dismissive hissing on their website under the heading “UNTANGLING DISINFORMATION.”

On Wednesday night’s PBS NewsHour, Judy Woodruff followed Biden out on his post-State of the Union road trip to give him a soft-ball interview. During the friendly sit-down, Woodruff couldn’t understand “the disconnect” between what Woodruff described as Biden’s good economy and the polling that shows overwhelmingly that Americans are pessimistic and struggling financially.

PBS coverage of President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening begin with special pleading for the president on the NewsHour, with co-host Amna Nawaz querying Sen. John Thune (R-SD). After Thune called for more bipartisanship from Biden, Nawaz insisted that President Joe “Jim Crow 2.0” Biden had in fact been more than bipartisan. Before Biden’s long State of the Union…

PBS might be seen as a sleepy avenue for analysis after the State of the Union and the Republican rebuttal, but on Tuesday, new Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders was fiercely critical of President Biden, so Jonathan Capehart uncorked a fit, lying about how Republicans want to abolish most of black history in public schools.

On Thursday's PBS NewsHour, co-host Amna Nawaz uncorked a contentious interview with Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, especially on unprecedented illegal immigration and fentanyl pouring across the border under Biden. 

The nightly PBS NewsHour has provided weeks of intensive coverage of the Pakistani flooding blaming “climate change.” Now the news show is sneaking it into arts coverage as well – in folk song. Retro-folk musician James Blount’s visions of environmental apocalypse were found worthy of a full segment, courtesy of Special Correspondent Tom Casciato: “Jake Blount’s new twist on Black…

On Sunday's edition of Fox News Channel's MediaBuzz, frequent guest and NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson said the quiet part out loud when she admitted that the lack of media coverage of Joe Biden's crackhead son Hunter is not expected to change and as a result, the political calculus on whether the growing list of crimes Hunter is accused of is enough to hurt…
