How did PBS, which has displayed anti-Israel bias while whitewashing the radical nature of Hamas and its American supporters, handle the tragic anniversary Monday of Hamas’s invasion of Israel, which resulted in the murder of 1200 civilians, including women and babies, and the taking of over 200 hostages? Poorly -- focusing on Gaza and Hamas, just as they have every other day of the year, and…

Donald Trump returning to Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday clearly upset PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett, especially when multiple speakers argued harsh Democrat rhetoric about Trump -- he's Hitler, a threat to Democracy -- inspired assassins. Bennett didn't object when Jim Acosta and other journalists said Trump's criticism of the "Fake News" media would get them killed. 

Washington Post associate editor and PBS News Hour talking head Jonathan Capehart was triggered on Friday when the American Enterprise Institute’s Danielle Pletka argued that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s record on Russia isn’t the greatest. While he found Pletka’s arguments to be “incredibly insulting,” he never actually debunked them.

On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, anchor Geoff Bennett seemed bugged that the large and influential Teamsters union (representing truckers) wasn’t falling in line with other unions and endorsing the liberal Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz: "So you said one of the reasons why the Teamsters are withholding an endorsement is because neither candidate was able to make serious…

For all of the media odes to Kamala Harris and her “joy,” the Friday edition of PBS News Hour may have been the most effusive. New York Times columnist David Brooks declared “it’s just who she is,” host Geoff Bennett mused about “attacks on her joyful warrior approach,” and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed “she is the culture.”

After bashing Donald Trump nonstop for spreading various conspiracy theories, the PBS News Hour seemed quite comfortable spreading its own election conspiracies on Thursday evening, going beyond even MSNBC in suggesting that Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (retained by the Biden administration) could somehow be fostering ballot delivery delays to help Trump win election…

The Republican and Democratic conventions are over, and it’s clear which party was the favorite of taxpayer-supported PBS. Not even the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump quelled the overwhelming negativity with which the PBS panel greeted the Republican Party Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee in July. Yet a month later, Vice-President Kamala Harris and a familiar crew of…

Taxpayer-supported PBS mourned success by conservatives on Wednesday's News Hour in pushing back with consumer activism against the flagrantly dishonest "diversity-equity-inclusion" drives in corporate America. PBS used the term "conservative" six times, but never found an ideological label for the Left. They were "pro-DEI folks" pushing "diversity initiatives" for people like "trans…

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and New York Times counterpart David Brooks agreed on Friday’s PBS News Hour that Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery was “really one of the lowest political moments” they could recall.

One piece of PBS’s coverage of the last night of the Democratic National Convention unwittingly confirmed media labeling bias on PBS and other “mainstream “outlets. First, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart hailed the Democrat’s vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz for using the supposedly less frightening and more convincing term “gun safety legislation” instead of “gun…

The “excitement” began right from the introduction of PBS’s coverage of Night Two of the Democratic National Convention from Chicago, which featured consecutive speeches by Michelle and Barack Obama. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett set up this T-ball of a question: “And former president Barack Obama speaks to the city that helped launch his political career.” Next, in a staged soundbite, someone off-…

Although he appears as the ostensible voice from the right on the PBS News Hour’s Friday evening political discussion, New York Times columnist David Brooks is no one’s idea of a hard-core conservative. He said “I love Joe Biden” before criticizing Biden’s angry speech on Night One of the Democratic National Convention, after previously stating “I do think Donald Trump is…

While covering Night One of the Democratic convention from Chicago, PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez was as energized as a Democratic delegate (or PBS’s introductory voiceover to its coverage), gushing over a “Kamala Cake” featured by a local bakery and relaying the “palpable enthusiasm” from the convention floor. Barron-Lopez, who usually covers the White House, was quite…

New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour theoretical conservative David Brooks was shocked on Friday’s show that “a responsible Democratic candidate” would endorse Soviet-like price controls on food.
