PBS Promotes Military Personnel Questioning Legality of Trump Moves

Capehart Attacks GOP For 'Cruelty' Amid Shutdown He Supported
The last month has been difficult for MSNBC host and PBS News Hour contributor Jonathan Capehart’s intellectual consistency, as he can’t decide whether the government shutdown is proof that Democrats are finally growing a spine or, as he claimed on Friday, whether “there’s a meanness and a cruelty” to the shutdown that is all Republicans’ fault.
No Respect: PBS Piles on Cheney's 'Polarizing...Controversial' Legacy
PBS News Hour’s coverage Tuesday of the death of former Republican vice president Dick Cheney wasn't particularly generous for an obituary, bookended with belittling jabs at Cheney from both anchor and reporter. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz: “….and we examine the life of the highly…

Only PBS Covered House Oversight’s Release of the Biden Autopen Report

PBS Invites Leftist Oliver Darcy to Smear 'Dishonest' Bari Weiss
Paramount Skydance, the giant media conglomerate which owns CBS, recently acquired the iconoclastic news site The Free Press, and just announced that FP’s founder Bari Weiss will become editor-in-chief of CBS News, causing conniption fits in legacy media newsrooms.

STUDY: Be My (Leftist) Guest Again: Defunding Didn't Stop PBS TILT
On the April 16 PBS News Hour, as federal funding for both PBS and NPR was coming under heavy fire, co-PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz boasted that on her program, “we regularly invite and host conservative and Republican voices.” But is that true?

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour featured dueling Democrat-Republican interviews on the government shutdown, from House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL).

PBS Hails Springsteen's Treason Slur as Trump 'Targets' Arts, Speech
The artsy self-regard was off the charts on Monday’s PBS News Hour, whose producers surely felt blessed that they were able to work into their “Arts in Action” segment, Bruce Springsteen’s surprise appearance at a New York film festival the night before, in which he called the Trump administration “treasonous.”
Nets Gave Nearly 2x Coverage to Pre-Election Jobs Vs. Jobs Revision
Remember that blowout September 2024 jobs report the broadcast networks slobbered over in October just before the presidential election?

Sure enough, ABC CBS and NBC were clearly not as keen on letting viewers know they just mindlessly swallowed up what the Biden administration spit out for political…
Pathetic PBS: ‘Critics Are Alarmed About the Influence of PragerU…’
Monday’s PBS News Hour alerted its viewers to a new right-wing threat: Education videos? “Why critics are alarmed about the influence of PragerU’s educational videos," the online heading read. “Alarmed” is a strong word, a promise that journalist Stephanie Sy’s actual report failed to fulfill, Noteworthy that it’s PragerU’s right-leaning world-view expressed in the educational videos…
