Cabrera Hints PBS Needed Because Family Didn't Have Cable in the 80s
MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera grew up in the 80s, and the media landscape has changed a lot since then, but on her Thursday show, she implied her family’s inability to pay for cable as a child means Congress should not approve President Trump’s rescission package that seeks to defund PBS and NPR.
PBS Finds Mostly 'Non-Violent,' 'Festival-like' Atmosphere in L.A.
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting.

Most Biased PBS Reporter Tries to Transform Trump Into an Anti-Semite
PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, filed a wide-ranging story Monday about some of the more controversial figures in the orbit of Donald Trump’s administration, yet also spread the ridiculous notion that Trump himself is an anti-Semite (if so, he’s doing a very bad job of it). Her sole guest was Jacob Ware, co-author of God, Guns,…

Just how leftist can taxpayer-funded “public radio” be? Take a look at KGNU Radio in the blue city of Boulder, Colorado.

Hypocrites: PBS Criticizes Federal Arts Funding Cuts, Then Bashes Debt
When it’s not bashing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for furthering the national debt, the PBS News Hour works hard to poison the well against any reductions in federal spending. Thursday’s edition featured 19 minutes of coverage of the bill emphasizing trillions of dollars being added to the national debt. Yet the night before, PBS dug up yet another sob story about relatively small…
At WorldPride D.C., NPR Forwards Unfounded LGBTQ Panic Over at Trump
National Public Radio “breaking news” reporter Ayana Archie served up an example of tax-funded public media once again going beyond traditional liberal media support for gay rights and going full throttle to throw unprofessional, anti-journalistic support to the entire alphabet movement (LGBTQIA….) in an article posted to NPR on Thursday, “The LGBT community shows up for WorldPride in D.C.,…
'They Would Suffer': Stelter Warns Of PBS And NPR Defunding
CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter joined The Situation Room on Wednesday morning to freak out over President Trump’s rescission package that asks Congress to revoke funding for PBS and NPR.

PBS Host: I Prepared For US Visit 'As If I Was Going to North Korea'
CNN/PBS anchor and self-styled journalist Christiane Amanpour recently gave a wild, anti-Trump commencement speech at Harvard where she invoked everything from 1984 to Benito Mussolini, but that may not have been the wildest part of her recent trip to America.
