As the presidential campaign enters its final week, Laura Barron-Lopez, White House correspondent for the PBS News Hour, got the vote out for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, while on assignment on the Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, covering Harris’s “closing argument” speech which Harris delivered later that evening.

Monday evening’s PBS News Hour devoted its first 11 minutes of news -- two full segments -- to bashing Donald Trump’s long rally at Madison Square Garden in the heart of his hometown of New York City. White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez actually led with criticism from his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, not news about the rally itself.

Anchor Amna Nawaz hosted clinical psychologist Ben Michaelis on Thursday’s PBS News Hour for a segment that felt very much like a violation of the psychiatric profession's so-called Goldwater Rule: If he is reelected, former President Donald Trump, now 78 years old, would be the oldest president ever elected. After a number of appearances where his remarks were rambling or incoherent…

After days of declaring that Donald Trump admires Adolf Hitler and dismissing evidence that his scoop that Trump cursed in a racist manner at the cost of a military funeral was false, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, took his place in the anchor’s chair of PBS’s Washington Week with The Atlantic and declared it is only “allegedly extreme” for Kamala Harris to…

Los Angeles Times columnist LZ Granderson joined PBS News Hour on Friday to attack his paper’s “extremely frustrating” decision not to endorse Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

Liberal media symbiosis in action: Jeffrey Goldberg. editor-and-chief of The Atlantic and host of the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic, appeared as a guest on Wednesday’s PBS News Hour program to discuss his own anonymously sourced Atlantic hit piece, “Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had.'"

The PBS News Hour led off two nights in a row with campaign trail reports from Laura Barron-Lopez, their most partisan reporter.

When Republican vice presidential hopeful J.D. Vance appeared at a Christian conservative town hall in Monroeville, Penn., hosted by controversial right-wing preacher Lance Wallnau on September 28, PBS ran a full story two days later on the threat of “Christian Nationalism” and by implication, of Vance himself. Never mind that Vance was not actually interviewed by Wallnau, who didn’t even…

PBS News Weekend aired yet another story Sunday on suicides by “LGBTQ-plus” teenagers allegedly due to callous Republicans passing laws “targeting transgender people.” Openly gay anchor John Yang and other members of the PBS News crew regularly push the emotional blackmail claim that gender dysphoric kids are at higher risk of suicide, which is exactly the scary message the gender…

On Friday’s edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, it was The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser who dished out the most inflammatory anti-Trump statements, trying to literally scare up Democratic votes as the Harris campaign lists less than three weeks before the presidential election: "Kamala Harris is no longer making fun of Donald Trump and saying he’s weird. She`s saying…

PBS News Hour sought to answer the question on Friday of why Kamala Harris is struggling with male voters. Both New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed that it is important not to “downplay the role that sexism” plays here.
