PBS's Balanced Trump Indictment Talk? GOP: ‘Traitor…Belongs in Jail'
Amanpour & Co’s idea of a balanced segment on the news of Donald Trump’s third indictment for “conspiring to defraud” the United States for contesting his loss in 2020? Hosting a sitting liberal Democrat, Rep. Joe Neguse, and the ex-Republican (in all senses) Rep. Joe Walsh, who ran against Trump in the 2020 primary and remains fiercely opposed. Amanpour’s Tuesday evening…
PBS Indulges Neurotic Liberals With ‘Climate Psychology Therapist’
The PBS NewsHour is once again indulging the apocalyptic fears of residents of the liberal bubble (i.e. their viewing audience) with a full segment on the psychological woes wrought by…climate change. On Sunday’s edition of the tax-supported program, anchor John Yang interviewed a “climate psychology therapist” over this rather niche, first-world woe.
Brooks: GOP Position On Oil Drilling 'Is a Way to Offend The Elites'
PBS NewsHour’s weekly recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart began with a discussion on, of all things, Republican attitudes towards climate change. During the discussion, Brooks, the supposedly conservative half of the duo, reduced oil drilling to a simple way of Republicans to offend elite…
PBS Hosts Radical Journo: US Fell Into Racist Violence After Obama Win
Wednesday’s PBS NewsHour featured a chat with radical (Pulitzer Prize winning) journalist Wesley Lowery about his new book on how white Americans and the Republican Party became scared and possibly dangerous racists after Barack Obama’s election. Lowery is making the book-tour rounds publicizing American Whitelash. Lowery, formerly a journalist for the Washington Post…
WashPost Writers Fight On Hunter's 'Sweetheart Deal,' Hillary's Server
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart may have got more than he bargained for on Friday’s PBS NewsHour as he took great offense to colleague and contributor Gary Abernathy’s assessment that the Department of Justice cannot continue to indict former President Donald Trump while giving “a sweetheart deal” to Hunter Biden and expect to be taken seriously. Later,…
PBS’s Amanpour: DeSantis Hates Women, GOP ‘Cruel, Racist…Misogynistic'
On Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., airing both on CNN International and tax-funded PBS, host Christiane Amanpour brought on a left-wing magazine journalist and a Democratic strategist for a long conversation harping on the racist, misogynistic evils of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis (almost as bad as Trump!) and reelecting Joe Biden, without the slightest of journalistic nods…
PBS Freaks Out at How a Second Trump Team Would 'Weaponize' Government
On Wednesday's Amanpour & Co. show on PBS, NPR's Michel Martin provided a forum for CNN contributor Miles Taylor to bash President Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis from the left as the disgruntled ex-Republican promoted his book fretting over a possible second Trump administration.
PBS Touts ‘Startling Connections': 'Gun Ownership...White Supremacy'
Congressional reporter Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed leftist professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss for Monday’s PBS News Hour. Miler-Idriss is well known at both left-wing MSNBC and the supposedly objective, taxpayer-supported PBS for her wacky notions. Previously she linked going to the gym with far-right extremism. Monday’s ostensible subject was gun violence, but the host and her…
Washington Week Skips GOP Hearings Entirely, Lusts Over Trump in Jail
The PBS journalist roundtable Washington Week would never put on a Fox News correspondent or a Washington Times reporter -- they're too opinionated? But on July 21, as they obsessed over a potential third Trump indictment, they brought on Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, whose partisanship knows no bounds.
PBS Abortion Reporter Pushes Fear: ‘Very Extremist Christian Language'
PBS’s post-Dobbs abortion coverage has been all one-way: No celebration of saving babies or showing respect for the culture of life. Instead, the focus has been 100% on lost opportunities to abort, with the hardest cases nationwide reliably rounded up and presented as commonplace, leaning on the alleged horrors occurring in red states that have instituted abortion bans. Sarah Varney,…
PBS Cheers Harris Attacking Florida's New History Standards
Washington Post contributor Gary Abernathy and associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour’s Geoff Bennett to recap the week that was by not only excluding any mention of the House hearing on IRS whistleblowers alleging improper interference in the Hunter Biden investigation, but finding consensus that Vice President Harris is correct to attack Florida Gov. Ron…
PBS Empathizes With Clinton Defense Sec on Fascist Trump, Useless GOP
Bianna Golodryga hosted Wednesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. (airing on CNN International and tax-funded PBS) and commiserated with William Cohen, former “Republican” Defense Secretary to Democratic president Bill Clinton, about the awful state of the Republican Party in the wake of Donald Trump’s third indictment: "So given what you have just laid out, on top of news,…
Column: The Media Display Hostility Toward a Third Party
Polls show that voters are not thrilled at the prospect of a Trump vs. Biden rerun in the 2024 presidential election. That makes the idea of a fresh third-party candidate more interesting. One might think the media would enjoy a curveball, but there’s one big problem. Democrats think a third party ticket would sink Joe Biden.
PBS Backers Whine: 'House Republicans Take Fresh Aim at Big Bird'
Sesame Street is now an HBO Max property, but TV reporter John Eggerton at Broadcasting & Cable magazine still warned "House Republicans Take Fresh Aim at Big Bird." On Friday, the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Education Subcommittee voted to zero out funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting starting in fiscal year 2026.
