A brand new poll conducted by NPR/PBS Tuesday shows a “significant majority of Americans say they believe President Biden's mental fitness is a real concern they have about his ability to be president,” according to NPR’s writeup of the poll’s findings. Despite this, PBS NewsHour ignored their own poll during their Tuesday evening broadcast. It was also ignored by the “big three”…

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour, fresh from arrogantly criticizing her network CNN for hosting a Donald Trump town hall and urging student journalists to “speak truth to power,” didn’t exactly renew confidence in the news media to challenge the powerful with her choice of guest to discuss the looming debt-ceiling deadline: Patrick Gaspard, president of the left-wing Center…

The internal dissent at CNN over the town hall with Donald Trump erupted into public view on Wednesday as Christiane Amanpour accepted the Columbia Journalism Award during the school’s commencement ceremonies. During her speech, Amanapour also encouraged the graduates to put neutrality aside in the pursuit of liberal ideas, or in her words “truth.”

PBS has an undeserved reputation for trustworthiness. A new study by the MRC of four months of the PBS NewsHour shows PBS isn't much different than CNN or MSNBC in trashing Republicans. The only difference is we pay for it. Why should we?

More public broadcasting arrogance was on display on the tax-funded PBS weekly political roundtable Washington Week Friday evening, as journalists huddled around their tax-supported digital fires to brainstorm ideas on how to trip up Republican candidate Donald Trump’s appeal in 2024 by denying him live coverage, as if the press is the first and final arbiter of who should speak…

Given their government funding, citizens should expect public broadcasting’s news coverage to be scrupulously neutral, yet an exhaustive Media Research Center study of PBS NewsHour found coverage of the first four months of the new Congress has been heavily slanted against Republicans.

Thursday's PBS News Hour featured liberal journalistic handwringing over 2024 candidate Donald Trump’s CNN live town hall from New Hampshire, filled with adoring fans and questioning from CNN’s Kaitlin Collins. Online the segment went by “CNN town hall highlights media’s struggle with how to cover Trump and his lies.” Indeed, the segment featured three facets of the liberal…

Tax-supported PBS has attracted heat of late for indoctrinating children on “queer,” transgender, and related issues, including through its PBS LearningMedia brand used in schools, under the rubric “Understanding LGBTQ+ Identity: A Toolkit for Educators.” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed funding for the state’s PBS station for “indoctrination and over-sexualization” of children.…

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart mixed up their usual Friday routine on PBS NewsHour and actually had, by PBS standards, a contentious argument on whether or not media arrogance partly explains Donald Trump’s popularity.

Amanpour & Co., which airs on tax-supported PBS, was enthusiastically on board with the latest trendy Euro-radicalism: “Climate grannies” in Switzerland, attempting to game the European Court of Human Rights to rule that women suffer inordinately under global-warming-caused heat waves, in part because women…sweat less than men. Host Christiane Amanpour took the silly stunt…

The Friday afternoon edition of CNN News Central purported to discover another way in which Republican governors are waging culture wars: defunding PBS. Not only is Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt going after “LGBTQ inclusive programming,” but in doing so, he is making it more difficult more people to learn about impending tornados.

For the third episode of Iconic America, PBS explored the history and meaning of the Gadsden Flag and during the portion covering the Tea Party protests during the Obama era, the assorted cast sought to reduce those protests to racists and other bigots.

PBS released their latest Frontline documentary on Tuesday with the subtitle of Clarence and Ginni Thomas: Politics, Power and the Supreme Court that purported to uncover why the Thomases view the world the way they do. Ultimately, however, Clarence Thomas was portrayed as a far-right sexual abuser who benefited from affirmative action who rules the way he does on cases in…

Republican Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is standing strong against national media attacks on his veto of funding for the state’s only PBS station.
