Thursday’s PBS NewsHour covered the hate virus spreading on progressive college campuses nationwide of agitators threatening Israel and Jewish students.

April 23rd, 2024 1:51 PM

Sunday’s edition of PBS News Weekend spent 13 minutes out of its allotted 25 taking the loose liberal attitude toward homelessness (or “the unhoused”) as a Supreme Court case looms.

PBS Host Smears Republicans as ‘Influenced By Russia’ and Neo-Nazis

April 22nd, 2024 6:12 PM

PBS likes to pretend they have a conservative host on staff, but Firing Line’s Margaret Hoover is anything but.

PBS’s Pathetic O.J. Take: Outrage Over Racism, Not Denial of Justice

April 19th, 2024 9:10 PM

PBS NewsHour had an odd take on the death of O.J. Simpson, whose televised trial captivated America 30 years ago, bringing in Dave Zirin, sports editor for the aging hard-left magazine The Nation.
