On Monday, PBS News Hour’s White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez called up the liberal media’s campaign-period name-calling of re-elected President Trump as “the convicted felon,” while skating over Biden’s preemptive family pardons. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz launched the festival of excuse-making on outgoing President Biden’s behalf: "President Trump's second term officially kick-starts…

During Monday afternoon’s coverage of President Trump’s second inauguration, the co-anchors of the coverage, PBS News Hour hosts Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz, were disturbed on ex-President Biden’s behalf by the prominent seating of corporate tech chieftains, and repeated Biden’s hypocritical warning about a rising Trumpian “oligarchy."

PBS News Hour’s first weekly recap featuring Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks of the new year concluded with the duo taking turns singing the praises of former President Jimmy Carter and “the glow around him.” While one might have expected the liberal Capehart to say such things, the supposedly conservative Brooks failed to even…

The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour was displeased with FBI Director Christopher Wray for resigning before Donald Trump could fire him because “he allowed Donald Trump to shatter yet another norm without imposing any cost.” Throughout the entire discussion, there was no thought given to the idea that there is something about the FBI that needs fixing.v

The acquittal of Daniel Penny disturbed the ivory tower virtue of the PBS News Hour on Monday evening. Penny, who intervened on a New York City subway in the summer of 2023 when violent homeless addict Jordan Neely threatened to kill other passengers, had been put on trial for his civic heroism by an otherwise soft-on-crime Manhattan prosecutor, Alvin Bragg.

Over at taxpayer-funded PBS, there was quite the bit of grousing over the level of intensity of the interview of President Elect Donald Trump that aired on NBC’s Meet the Press. As they complained about the lack of fact-checking, they demonstrated why both the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS should be among the first targets of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE…

As a taxpayer-funded TV network, PBS should not be favoring one side over the other. But MRC analysts studying the use of labels over 18 months on the PBS News Hour found they were 27 times more likely to identify an "extreme" on the right than they would on the left. There were 162 extreme-right labels and only six extreme-left descriptions. 

New York Times columnist and supposed conservative half of PBS News Hour’s Friday Brooks and Capehart segment was dismayed that President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, will supposedly help him take a “blowtorch to the neutral institutions of justice.”

The PBS News Hour on Wednesday, having evidently learned nothing from the election results, returned to its long-standing left-wing alphabet obsession, even adding a number ("two-spirit"), in a story about Trump “rolling back transgender rights.” (They also interviewed a journalist from a publication that identities as a number.) But this isn’t PBS’s old children’s staple Sesame…
