PBS omnipresence Ken Burns feels so secure in his public-broadcasting empire that he can put his name on fundraising emails for Harris-Walz with no fear anyone will stop paying for and airing his documentaries on PBS. The House held hearings in 1999 over Boston PBS superstation WGBH exchanging email lists with the Democratic Party. This goes even further. Will Congress ask questions about this…

Taxpayer-supported PBS again failed its own congressionally mandated test to “provide objectivity and balance” when covering issues. PBS News Weekend this Sunday featured a spokesman for a liberal scientific advocacy organization as its only guest to feed liberal fear-mongering about Project 2025. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an activist group that does not “stick to…

NPR media reporter David Folkenflik appeared on Weekend Edition Saturday to discuss how “even after being debunked, fringe ideas and lies can still become major campaign themes.” That meant it was a Trump segment, and Folkenflik suggested Trump's complaints about Jewish voters suggest something "Jews have experienced over the decades and centuries, certain kinds of targeting and…

The latest Washington Week with The Atlantic, the journalistic political roundtable airing every Friday evening on tax-funded PBS, featured Atlantic magazine journalist Caitlin Dickerson accusing Donald Trump of not just racism, but using the rhetoric of “fascist neo-Nazi groups,” for his insistence on enforcing the borders and lowering immigration levels from certain world…

On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, anchor Geoff Bennett seemed bugged that the large and influential Teamsters union (representing truckers) wasn’t falling in line with other unions and endorsing the liberal Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz: "So you said one of the reasons why the Teamsters are withholding an endorsement is because neither candidate was able to make serious…

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is considered the crown jewel of "public" broadcasting. All global journalism in English seeks to mimic it. That's not a good thing, since it is rife with leftist bias, and on the Israel-Hamas war, it can be difficult to distinguish from Al-Jazeera, according to a new study.

Amanpour & Co. covered Israel’s bravura anti-terrorist tactic of rerigging and then mass-detonating communication gear (pages and walkie-talkies) used by the Iran-based terrorist group Hezbollah, killing and maiming thousands of terrorists. Israel was acting in response to Hezbollah firing rockets from its base in Lebanon since Hamas carried out its invasion and civilian rape and…

For all of the media odes to Kamala Harris and her “joy,” the Friday edition of PBS News Hour may have been the most effusive. New York Times columnist David Brooks declared “it’s just who she is,” host Geoff Bennett mused about “attacks on her joyful warrior approach,” and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed “she is the culture.”

The taxpayer-supported PBS News Hour threw around accusations of hate and racism against the Republican presidential ticket in two segments Tuesday evening, for daring to amplify complaints from the residents of Springfield, Ohio regarding the influx of Haitians into their city, putting stresses on social services and residential quality of life. Anchor Amna Nawaz: It's been a week…

The badly disguised Democrats at PBS are having a hard time with this second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. They barely passed over it on Sunday night, and on Monday night, News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz and NPR reporter Tamara Keith savaged Trump-Vance again for demonizing Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. 

After bashing Donald Trump nonstop for spreading various conspiracy theories, the PBS News Hour seemed quite comfortable spreading its own election conspiracies on Thursday evening, going beyond even MSNBC in suggesting that Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (retained by the Biden administration) could somehow be fostering ballot delivery delays to help Trump win election…

The PBS News Hour relished the presidential debate between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, who they believe was fact-checked into oblivion and who succumbed to Harris’s baiting tactics. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett loved that “the former president was repeatedly fact-checked for inaccuracies” by ABC News’s hopelessly hostile moderators, before throwing the…

During Tuesday night’s debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump called out Tim Walz’s extremely radical and, frankly, diabolical abortion stance as governor of Minnesota, but for PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, the fact that Trump even brought it up made him “very, very extreme,” while her panel labeled it "extraordinarily stupid."

PBS’s coverage of Tuesday night’s Trump-Harris debate included live fact-checking from its partner PolitiFact, which has racked up a liberally slanted record. But when Harris falsely claimed Trump had promised a “bloodbath,” no one at PBS or PolitiFact corrected her. PBS has made the same fake claim on numerous occasions. Then it was on to abortion, when Donald Trump claimed “radical”…
