NPR Treats Hunter's Verdict as Less Vital Than Alito, Secretly Taped
On taxpayer-funded National Public Radio, All Things Considered has an online listing of story order. Hunter Biden's verdict was #9! Guess what was #1: Sam Alito. “Secret audio raises new questions about Supreme Court Justice's impartiality.”
PBS Taps Activist Psychiatrist to Advocate Gender Surgeries for Youth
Transgender youth researcher and psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban once again appeared on PBS News Weekend, this time plugging his new book Free to Be: Understanding Kids and Gender Identity. Turban is director of the Gender Psychiatry Program at the University of California, San Francisco and of course a strong supporter of controversial gender identity…
PBS Uses Hostile TV Clips to Warn Trump Veep Picks Threaten Democracy
Friday's PBS NewsHour featured a discussion with congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins on what Donald Trump is looking for in a vice-presidential running mate (“loyalty….including whether the 2020 election had fraud in it or not”). But it took a turn into PBS’s new pro-Biden campaign angle, protecting American “democracy” from Trump’s potential vice-presidential picks. PBS put…
PBS Hosts Obama-Biden Lawyer To Warn Trump Will Prosecute Opponents!
Thursday evening’s PBS NewsHour warned of Trump persecuting his political opponents in a second term, and they pretended that no one is presently prosecuting his political opponents in their first term. Anchor Amna Nawaz dragged out the "without evidence" swagger.
PBS Pans 'Creepy' Hunter Trial That 'Has Nothing To Do With' Policy
When Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks recapped former President Donald Trump’s conviction on PBS NewsHour one week ago, they hailed it as a victory for the rule of law and warned that anyone who dissented was simply being political and a grave threat to institutions. When it came to discussing…
PBS Can’t Decide on Biden Border Bluff: Better Than Trump or Hypocrisy
President Biden’s surprise executive order to limit (on paper, anyway) the number of migrants seeking asylum on the southern border led the PBS NewsHour on Tuesday, in a story and a following interview that alternately covered for President Biden (he’s no immigrant-hating Trump!) and chided Biden from the pro-open-borders left (though there is doubt among conservatives as to how tough…
Stephanopoulos Warns Again About 'Shameful' Trump on PBS's 'Amanpour'
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…
NewsBusters Podcast: LOL! 'No Evidence' the Trump Trial Was Partisan
Reporters might admit the Trump convictions are a "political gift" for the Democrats, but they still claim there's "no evidence" the prosecution was political -- and especially, that anyone could claim Biden and his administration were behind it. The networks strongly suppressed the painfully obvious notion that Democrats are prosecuting Trump to damage his re-election chances.
PBS Touts Focus Group of Two-Time Trump Voters Switching to Biden
The PBS NewsHour quickly rounded up its semi-regular focus group of Republican voters one day after Donald Trump’s conviction in a Manhattan courtroom on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. They touted that six of nine in their collection of PBS-approved 2016 and 2020 Trump voters said that Trump’s conviction had made them less likely to vote Trump in 2024. Only one was…
FLASHBACK: The Liberal Media’s Long Record of Reviling Ronald Reagan
In the 20 years since his death, journalists have praised Ronald Reagan as a way to disparage today's conservatives. But a look at the record shows the media routinely derided both Reagan and his policies.
CIVIL? PBS Cues Ex-Republican to Slam 'Far Right, Gun-Loving Kook'
Taxpayer-funded PBS is just like CNN or MSNBC as it paints the Republicans as falling off a "far-right" cliff, while the Democrats have no "far left" extreme. The PBS NewsHour brought on disgruntled ex-Republican Joe Walsh to slam one primary challenger in Texas as a "far-right, gun-loving kook." So much for civility on PBS.
Amanpour Likens Trump to Joe McCarthy. Hamas Rallies Were 'Pro-Peace'?
Amanpour & Co., which airs on CNN International and taxpayer-supported PBS, aired a conversation between host Christiane Amanpour and Jelani Cobb, the dean of Columbia Journalism School, both fretting over the perils of Trump and bringing the Joe McCarthy era into the discussion (you know it's serious when journalists bring up the Red Scare).
Democracy Under Threat: Where Are the Liberal Media?
Anyone whose memory has not been washed clean can recall the liberal media’s not-so-long-ago frequent warnings about threats to democracy.
'Sounds Like Politics': PBS Mourns GOP Attacking Trump Verdict
PBS NewsHour’s weekly recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart had a lot to discuss on Friday as they discussed former President Donald Trump being found guilty in New York. The common thread throughout, however, was that in “the before times” Republicans and conservatives would have lined up to simply…
