Ohio Gov. DeWine Pressured on PBS to Dump Trump Over Haitian Migrants
PBS is determined to squeeze every bit of anti-Trump animus out of a moderate Republican as they can in the weeks before the election, as demonstrated on Friday.

Mike DeWine of Ohio after guest host Bianna Golodryga opened the show with a teaser about “Haitians eating pets in Springfield,” now elevated to “dangerous lies.”

PBS Balance: Buffing Biden Up With One Guest, Trashing Trump With Next
Monday’s Amanpour & Co., which airs on tax-funded PBS, took advantage of Joe Biden abdicating his re-election campaign to do some Biden-buffing courtesy of Bob Bauer, Biden’s personal lawyer, followed by some Trump-trashing from Sarah Longwell, the “Republican” Never-Trumper, and apparent Kamala Harris booster.

On Monday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS, journalist Walter Isaacson talked to George Stephanopoulos, the former Democratic operative in President Bill Clinton’s White House and now the cohost of ABC’s Good Morning America and the Sunday political roundtableThis Week, about his new book The Situation Room -- The Inside Story of Presidents in…
Column: Hillary Clinton’s Conspiracy Privilege
It’s hard to watch the incessant gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Donald Trump trial in Manhattan without feeling like you’re traveling in a time warp back to 2016. We’re back reliving the “Access Hollywood” tape and talk of how Trump would have never been elected except porn star Stormy Daniels accepted a six-figure check to keep quiet.
PBS's Favorite 'Republican' Claims the Party Is Now 'Autocratic'
Stuart Stevens is senior adviser of the Lincoln Project, a never-Trump “Republican” outfit whose pathetic anti-GOP stunts and scandals have discredited it everywhere but in the mainstream media, where it remains a reliable source for smears of the modern-day Republican party as fascistic. Stuart took his familiar act to Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS. Host…
Tom Friedman on PBS: Why Won't Press Ask Hamas Leader About Killing?
The PBS current affairs program Amanpour & Co. on Thursday hosted the invariably self-assured long-time New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who unleashed some harsh criticism of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But then things took a surprising and welcome turn, as Friedman criticized journalists’ double standards in its war coverage. What about…
On PBS, Radical Playwright Dismisses Anti-Semitism by Leftists on Gaza
On taxpayer-funded PBS, radical-left playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner appeared on Amanpour & Co. and tried to downplay left-wing anti-Semitism and weirdly claimed that there is nothing anti-Semitic about calling for an "intifada" against Israel.
Amanpour: Trump 'Doubling Down on His Vision of Being a Dictator'
Trump (Second-Term) Derangement Syndrome was on display in a very special issue of The Atlantic monthly magazine, dated January/February 2024 (see “The Atlantic Melts Down at a Second Trump Term ”) and the PBS-aired interview show Amanpour & Co. was on it, with an interview with Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg. The Atlantic has tilted to the…
PBS Laments Musk's Twitter Takeover, But Exposes Ridiculous Yoel Roth
On the newest episode of tax-supported PBS’s notorious left-wing series Frontline, they spent two hours obsessing over Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. Twitter was never this problematic when it was suppressing conservative speech. Now they're forwarding former Twitter censor Yoel Roth's ridiculous denials of the platform's ideological bias before Musk.
PBS Hosts Rip Elon Musk: Racist, Sexist, 'Potentially Dangerous Man'
Two shows that air on tax-funded PBS, the NewsHour and Amanpour & Co., invited journalist and Amanpour regular Walter Isaacson to discuss his new biography of entrepreneur Elon Musk who now owns X (formerly Twitter). The results were less cozy than the usual journalist-to-journalist validation, with the reliably liberal Isaacson getting testy over some of the questions…
PBS Pushes Lefty Misinformation GOP Trying to Erase History of Slavery
On Wednesday's Amanpour & Co., PBS again pushed the left's false narrative that the Republican Party was trying to ban and erase slavery from American history classes. This time Walter Isaacson tapped former Harvard University president Drew Gilpin Faust to be the purported expert for their smear campaign.
PBS Lets Dyson Slam DeSantis for Leading 'United States of Amnesia'
PBS is a taxpayer-funded sandbox for the Left. Take the example of Michael Eric Dyson, a professor at Vanderbilt and a former MSNBC political analyst and fill-in host. On Monday's Amanpour & Co., interviewer Walter Isaacson rolled out the red carpet for Dyson to rip America and slash Gov. Ron DeSantis for aspiring to lead a "United States of Amnesia."
Chris Sununu Spurs ANOTHER Touchy Reaction Talking Socialism on PBS
Another month, another testy interview on Amanpour & Co. (which airs on CNN International and tax-funded PBS) between journalist Walter Isaacson and a conservative figure. Last month it was National Review editor Rich Lowry, who snapped back at Isaacson’s stating that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s campaign was embracing the “culture of resentment.” This month it’s Gov.…
