Attorney General Merrick Garland offered a “fiery defense” in a “grueling hearing” of a House Judiciary Committee “stocked with far-right stalwarts,” as The New York Times described it. A special bucket of opprobrium should go to what they call “public broadcasting,” PBS and NPR. On the PBS NewsHour, they could barely manage a two-minute story on the Garland hearing.

President Biden made his 2023 address Tuesday morning to the United Nations General Assembly and, as predicted, the liberal media were there to swoon over it like North Korean propagandists. MSNBC played that role, touting it as a “comprehensive” set of remarks with “powerful” and “positive” messaging that showed concern for climate change and Ukraine.

The following are some of the most recent and heinous examples of the media accusing Republicans and conservatives of stoking racial hatred.  

On the latest edition of PBS’s weekly political journalist roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, guest host Laura Barron-Lopez (a familiar face here at NewsBusters) set the tone right from the show’s introduction, of desperate Republicans hurling unsubstantiated accusations against the wall: "House Republicans in disarray.... Speaker Kevin McCarthy opens an impeachment inquiry…

On Thursday’s taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour, notoriously liberal correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed two Harvard professors about their new anti-Republican tome: "Can you first establish when you, as someone who is an expert in the collapse of democracies, diagnosed that there is now a popular authoritarian movement within the Republican Party?"

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…

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett on Friday for their regularly scheduled recap of the week’s top stories. The trio warned that because Republicans have “no evidence” or “holy cow” moment, they are “cheapening the whole impeachment process.”

When it was revealed Sept. 12 that the U.S. poverty rate spiked in 2022 for the first time in 13 years, President Joe Biden’s mouthpiece at The New York Times had some egg on his face. 

Biden aide Ian Sams put out a memo demanding the "independent media" must "ramp up the scrutiny" of House Republicans. PBS NewsHour promptly put Sams on taxpayer-funded TV to rip the Republicans for having "no evidence."

Tuesday's PBS NewsHour ran two segments on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, extending the ongoing investigations by congressional Republicans into the president’s possible involvement in his son’s business dealings. The supposedly objective tax-supported outlet showered McCarthy with “far-right” labels. A favored phrase of the…

The House launched an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, and the press promptly repeated the ridiculous but mandatory line that Republicans have “no evidence” of Biden being involved in his son’s influence-peddling. Plus: the cops captured the escaped murderer in Pennsylvania who couldn’t be tagged as an illegal alien.

On Thursday on CNN and PBS, host Christiane Amanpour spoke to Franklin Foer about his Biden book titled The Last Politician. Almost all the questions were designed to figure out how Biden can sell himself and be more appreciated for his buckets of achievements as he seeks re-election. 

The Tuesday edition of the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour featured liberal political writer Franklin Foer talking about his new biography of President Biden. But don’t expect Foer’s book, The Last President, to be a harsh expose like the dozens of books written about former President Trump. Foer just told NBC’s Meet the Press anchor Chuck Todd that Biden "has been…

New York Times columnist David Brooks is supposed to be the conservative half of PBS NewsHour’s Brooks and Capehart weekly roundup, but often fails to deliver. Such was the case on Friday as Brooks dismissed the DOJ’s decision to indict Hunter Biden on gun charges as an “ancillary issue” and claim Republicans “don't really have anything” on Joe Biden.
