If there were still any questions that PBS is a liberal network in need of defunding, Friday’s News Hour removed any remaining doubts. In a wild segment, host William Brangham preferred the words of the “nonpartisan” League of Women Voters over an anti-Trump law professor who stated the country is not in a constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist and…

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour covered the Trump administration’s efforts to cut taxpayer funding for PBS and National Public Radio. PBS didn’t present its critics beyond generalities, while anchor Amna Nawaz and reporter William Brangham took the opportunity to lobby for themselves. Anchor Amna Nawaz: As we have been reporting, the Trump administration wants to cut the federal funds that…

The Wednesday edition of CBS’s The Late Show was defined by host Stephen Colbert giving two odes to liberal budget priorities. First, Colbert insisted that PBS documentaries on transgender people in Ohio bowling leagues are of vital importance before marveling at Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “righteous anger” at President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE.

Tuesday evening’s PBS News Hour, guest hosted by reporter William Brangham, opened with a full nine-minute segment on the “mistaken” deportation of El Salvadoran illegal immigrant (misleadingly named “Maryland man” by the press) Kilmar Abrego Garcia by reporter Laura Barron-Lopez. Yet that same news outlet -- including in the mix PBS News Weekend -- has spent 0 seconds (the…

Monday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS and CNN International, was hosted by regular show fill-in Bianna Golodryga, who is probably even more bluntly liberal than the formidable Christiane Amanpour herself. The opener teased the upcoming interview with Kenneth Stern, self-styled anti-semitism expert at the Bard Center for the Study of Hate, with his hostile thoughts…

For the Tax Day edition of CNN’s Inside Politics on Tuesday, media correspondent Brian Stelter joined host Dana Bash to allege that President Trump wants to defund PBS and NPR for “simply covering the news.” If Stelter really believes that then he has a funny definition of what is newsworthy.

Jon Stewart devoted his Monday monologue on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to accusing President Trump of being an authoritarian. However, some of Stewart’s examples of authoritarianism, such as protecting women’s sports and defunding public broadcasting, were woefully unimpressive. Additionally, Stewart alleged Trump had bungled “the authoritarian bargain” that requires competence…

In The Atlantic magazine, David Brooks penned a harsh 4,500-word epithet of an essay, “Everything We Once Believed In.” The online headline: “I Should Have Seen This Coming -- When I joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won.”

As I noted during the OANN segment, how can public media comply with its “strict adherence to objectivity and balance” when NPR CEO Katherine Maher believes truth is a “distraction?”

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour took on yet another unlabeled liberal or Democrat-linked critic of Trump as its guest expert on an issue, this time defending the dubious idea of tax-related privacy rights for illegal immigrants against DOGE’s budget cuts to the IRS and warning the agency could well implode during tax season as a result: "For decades, the IRS encouraged…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks assembled for their weekly airing of grievances on Friday night’s PBS News Hour as they discussed the news that the Trump Administration has reached deals with five top law firms to provide $600 million in pro bono work. Capehart ignored vital details of the deals to claim Trump was…

As much as the CEOs of PBS and NPR claim to Congress they are nonpartisan and unbiased, there are many ways to demonstrate they careen to the Left. Shortly after their House hearing, the leftist Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued their "GLAAD Media Awards" and honored PBS and NPR for completely one-sided promotion of the LGBTQ agenda. 

A Monday night interview between PBS’s Amanpour and Company guest host Bianna Golodryga and Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran about the protests going on in her native country surrounding the arrest of the leader of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main opposition took a sharp detour as Temelkuran compared Erdogan to President Donald Trump. She went so far as to claim both anti-…

CNN anchorman Jake Tapper, in 2025, proclaimed on his show that he is NOT on the Left. But in the first Trump term, CNN boss Jeff Zucker made them ALL take a side at CNN. They had to uncork grand speeches. "We call them homilies," said Tapper in 2020. CNN is not a church.
