Washington Week with The Atlantic, PBS’s weekly political roundtable featuring outside journalists, was particularly harsh on candidate Donald Trump and running mate J.D. Vance this week, perhaps prodded by guest host Laura Barron-Lopez, the most liberally biased reporter on the PBS News Hour. Barron-Lopez asked The Atlantic’s Adam Harris about the candidates’…

PBS News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz conducted an embarrassing gushfest with Hillary Clinton on Thursday night, nodding along as Hillary claimed "one choice literally could end our democracy. And I don't say that in any way of satisfaction, and I don't even think I'm exaggerating."

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.

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour provided the latest piece of transgender propaganda to air on supposedly objective and balanced public television, brought by reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, the show’s most biased reporter. With apparently nothing going on at the White House these days (Joe Biden, where are you?), the show’s White House correspondent has more time to spend on her obsession with…

Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn found a confessional tone among liberal national reporters at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin as they assessed how they under-covered President Biden’s age and cognitive decline. New York Times reporter Peter Baker suggested journalists broadly need to do some "soul-searching" on how they handled it

Tax-funded PBS issued its latest quadrennial documentary on the two major candidates running for president: “The Choice 2024: Harris vs. Trump.”  Producer Michael Kirk told Forbes magazine he and his team worked "to balance out the screen time for each of their subjects.” Kirk also told Forbes it was "really hard" to fight the impulse to put his "thumb on the scale in some…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evie, joined PBS News Hour on Monday to promote their new cookbook and discuss his approach to The Late Show. Colbert told Amna Nawaz that he will not welcome “disingenuous” politicians to his show, but not only is that not true, “disingenuous” might as well be Colbert’s way of saying “Republicans.”

PBS omnipresence Ken Burns feels so secure in his public-broadcasting empire that he can put his name on fundraising emails for Harris-Walz with no fear anyone will stop paying for and airing his documentaries on PBS. The House held hearings in 1999 over Boston PBS superstation WGBH exchanging email lists with the Democratic Party. This goes even further. Will Congress ask questions about this…

Taxpayer-supported PBS again failed its own congressionally mandated test to “provide objectivity and balance” when covering issues. PBS News Weekend this Sunday featured a spokesman for a liberal scientific advocacy organization as its only guest to feed liberal fear-mongering about Project 2025. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an activist group that does not “stick to…

The latest Washington Week with The Atlantic, the journalistic political roundtable airing every Friday evening on tax-funded PBS, featured Atlantic magazine journalist Caitlin Dickerson accusing Donald Trump of not just racism, but using the rhetoric of “fascist neo-Nazi groups,” for his insistence on enforcing the borders and lowering immigration levels from certain world…

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…

Amanpour & Co. covered Israel’s bravura anti-terrorist tactic of rerigging and then mass-detonating communication gear (pages and walkie-talkies) used by the Iran-based terrorist group Hezbollah, killing and maiming thousands of terrorists. Israel was acting in response to Hezbollah firing rockets from its base in Lebanon since Hamas carried out its invasion and civilian rape and…

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.”

The taxpayer-supported PBS News Hour threw around accusations of hate and racism against the Republican presidential ticket in two segments Tuesday evening, for daring to amplify complaints from the residents of Springfield, Ohio regarding the influx of Haitians into their city, putting stresses on social services and residential quality of life. Anchor Amna Nawaz: It's been a week…
