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…

Wednesday’s Amanpour & Co. opened with a long interview with Jelani Cobb, dean of Columbia University's Journalism School and a New Yorker staff writer. Cobb, who leads a school for future journalists, forwarded the wild argument that the five black police officers who killed Tyre Nichols could have been motivated by self-hatred, having internalizing “white supremacy.”…

Joe Biden can never hope to garner the gushing praise the media habitually lavished on his onetime boss, former President Barack Obama. Liberal reporters were always thrilled whenever they were privileged to hear their hero delivering predictable liberal platitudes from the well of the House of Representatives.

In his latest denunciation of Gov. Ron DeSantis objecting to leftist propaganda in education, Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart claiming he was in the first generation of his family "to not have to pick cotton." Capehart grew up with his mother in New Jersey (his father died early in his life). Where do they pick cotton in New Jersey? 

Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co. on PBS featured Diana Buttu, described by the program as a “political analyst and human rights lawyer,” but whose actual views were extremely hostile to Israel and radically pro-Palestinian -- and in sync with those of host Christiane Amanpour. Amanpour matched her guest by bringing her own long-standing hostility to Israel and concurrent embrace of the…

Ah, the joys of public broadcasting: Watching two lefty friends chatting about the patriarchy. Christiane Amanpour and the former Eve Ensler, the playwright and activist of Vagina Monologues infamy, who now goes by the letter “V,” took turns cursing “the patriarchy” while seeing hope for “human rights” in the 2022 midterms. Amanpour continued her praise for one of the COVID era’s most…

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, the show promoted another liberal pet cause as a segment was devoted to the efforts of gay activists who are demanding to have their blood accepted for blood transfusions.
