News Hour

Katherine Maher, CEO of National Public Radio, continued her sympathy tour to save NPR from the Trump administration’s executive order, with a pit stop at NPR’s publicly funded cohort, PBS’s News Hour program. When gently challenged that Trump says NPR lacks viewpoint diversity, she comically claimed: "I first of all, respond by saying we're a nonpartisan news organization." 

PBS claims that they’re just great at promoting a diversity of viewpoints, but in reality, they mostly channel the left, and sometimes the far left….and they won’t identify them as left. On Monday, the News Hour promoted three leftist Democrats running in House or Senate primaries.

Paula Kerger, chief executive of the taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), recently told the New York Times, “In terms of the news, we work really hard to try to bring multiple viewpoints forward.” But as the second Trump administration begins and PBS comes under unprecedented existential pressure from the administration for its liberally biased evening news product,…

The trio of PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to have it both ways on Friday. The three men attacked the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill for its negative effects on the deficit, but also its spending cuts, meaning PBS either wants to raise most people's taxes, but is too…

Surprise! The PBS News Hour finally arrived on the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book after ignoring it longer than the other networks. PBS anchor Geoff Bennett began by suggesting the word "coverup" might be a "loaded phrase."

On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett twisted a legitimate arrest of a Democratic congresswoman for pushing and shoving federal agents into a Trump revenge tour against his “perceived political adversaries.” As if a victim of Democratic lawfare and two assassination attempts doesn’t have actual enemies?

On Tuesday night’s episode of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Jim Scuitto spoke with Laura Barron-Lopez of PBS NewsHour and Reuter’s Jim Mason, who called President Trump “authoritarian” and blamed the MAGA movement for fundamentally changing the Republican Party for the worst, simply over the Trump administration’s tariff policies.

More than any other news network, the PBS News Hour has devoted the first few months of the second Trump administration focusing on the sad stories of Trump administration budget reductions, finding sympathetic victims to more effectively personalize the trauma and harm supposedly done. Then it turns around and runs a story about Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating due to the…

You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn’t like a story angle. They’ll cry “no evidence,” and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence.  It’s their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden’s laptop.

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner

This week marks the 40^th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical black group MOVE in an incendiary assault that killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed a residential block. PBS News Weekend on Saturday marked the anniversary with a dose of radical chic, omitting unflattering details about the bizarre urban enclave MOVE.

There are undoubtedly parts of any Donald Trump presidency that are unique to him, but there are also parts that are continuous with other presidents, and one problem the media has is that they freak out over both. New York Times columnist David Brooks did precisely that on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he gave a factually-challenged retort to Trump’s speech in the Saudi capital…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

Friday’s edition of the PBS News Hour contained a frustrating interview with the left’s deportation hero of the day, conducted by the paper’s most slanted reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez. After she and co-anchor Geoff Bennett talking about the release of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, whose student visa was revoked apparently because she co-wrote an anti-Israel…
