The results of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is….

Over the weekend, NPR White House reporter Asma Khalid appeared on PBS, NPR, and ABC hammering away at Elon Musk as "the world's richest man" taking a hatchet to the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is automatically associated with the poor, so Musk will "increase starvation rates." He's a killer.

Just in time to stir up resistance to the Trump Administration’s whirlwind of government change, PBS is beginning a series called “On Democracy,” which aims to go beyond the day to day news “to look at big questions about the changing laws, institutions and norms.” PBS News Hour co-host Amna Nawaz conducted the series’ first interview on Thursday’s edition, with Barton Gellman from…

Against the backdrop of Elon Musk’s budget-cutting initiatives, Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart got triggered on Friday’s PBS News Hour when the American Enterprise Institute’s Matthew Continetti reminded him that former President Joe Biden abused executive power on his student loan order. Capehart argued that comparisons were “apples and…

POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)

The filing of a lawsuit by the litigious, now wholly left-wing ACLU isn’t exactly a stop-the-presses moment, but Tuesday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour treated it as such. Co-host Amna Nawaz set up the show’s most liberal correspondent, Laura Barron-Lopez, in support of the same “gender-affirming care” misnomer PBS has used in its previous excessive coverage of so-called…

Now that Republicans have control of Congress and the White House and Trump’s “government efficiency” czars are looking hard at slicing the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), it bears repeating: “public broadcasting” is not serving the public. It serves a narrow slice of America, an audience of wealthy liberal elites.

Amanpour & Co. invited rabidly anti-Israel voice Peter Beinart to discuss his latest screed of a book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza. Beinart, former editor for the once-respected liberal journal The New Republic and political analyst for the not-so-respected cable channel MSNBC and editor at the even more ridiculous Jewish Currents, made…

MSNBC host Chris Hayes has a new book out, The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource. The blurb: “From the New York Times bestselling author and MSNBC and podcast host, a powerful wide-angle reckoning with how the assault from attention capitalism on our minds and our hearts has reordered our politics and the very fabric of our society.”…

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is scaring the liberal media by demanding a hearing into the journalistic tilt at PBS and NPR before the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on government efficiency. Politico’s panicked headline was “NPR and PBS first target in MTG’s DOGE crosshairs.”

PBS News Hour ran full stories on the hearings for Kash Patel to head the FBI, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services. All suffered bruising and sometimes bipartisan criticism, and the coverage was deeply unfavorable to all three nominees. Gabbard perhaps got the worst of it, with tough questioning about…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart had an eventful time on Friday’s installment of PBS NewsHour. First, Capehart did his typical thing where he alleged President Trump’s recent press conference included “some of the most racist things I have ever heard come out of the White House.” Later, he said something so absurd that the usually amenable New York Times…

The following are just some of the most obnoxious outbursts from leftist anchors, hosts, correspondents and pundits over the past month. 

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr opened up a probe of NPR and PBS Thursday over their airing of commercial announcements. The New York Times warned of a “politicized” debate over public broadcasting. To suggest it tilts left "politicizes" it. But somehow, to tilt left is....not politicizing things?
