April 23rd, 2023 8:15 AM
Friday’s PBS NewsHour pundits discussed Biden preparing to announce a re-election bid without mentioning this week’s big Hunter Biden scoops, and the same thing happened on the PBS journalist roundtable Washington Week.

PBS 'Washington Week' Brings On Staunch Lefty Journo to Tout Kamala
February 13th, 2023 4:42 PM
Just as the PBS NewsHour can't stand the idea of a journalist from the conservative media doing the Friday "Week in Review," the Friday night journalist roundtable Washington Week can't imagine putting on a Fox News journalist to share reporting insights from the week. But woke anchor Yamiche Alcindor is perfectly happy to put on her fellow MSNBC pundit Errin Haines, an …

Column: PBS Gushes Through Democrats Week In Review
December 7th, 2022 6:10 AM
When the "Twitter Files" came out on Friday night, taxpayer-funded PBS couldn't find it. On Washington Week, they were too busy gushing over the "new historic group leading the Democratic Party in the House" and then insisting Kevin McCarthy had a "rocky, rocky week" with the Republicans.

Column: Brainy Reporters Play Dumb on 'Obamagate'
May 22nd, 2020 7:01 AM
President Trump has tweeted feverishly about “Obamagate,” loosely defined as everything the Obama-Biden team did to ruin Trump’s candidacy (and then presidency) using their executive-branch powers. The Trump-loathing press has responded with an unusual tactic. The self-appointed guardians of democracy who have auditioned themselves as America’s great explainers are playing dumb.

CNN's Fact-Mangling Moderator Still Sticking Up for Elizabeth Warren
March 7th, 2020 7:13 AM
CNN's Abby Phillip appeared Friday night on the PBS journalist-roundup Washington Week, and was offered the floor to condemn all the sexism in the Democratic Party now that Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the presidential race. In January, Phillip mangled facts in a debate by repeating Warren's claim that Bernie Sanders told her in 2018 a woman couldn't win. He denied saying it twice, and she…

December 15th, 2017 10:41 PM
Some liberal journalists just can't get the notion out of their minds that George Wallace was a Republican, even though the former segregationist governor of Alabama was a lifelong Democrat. On Friday's Washington Week on PBS, host Robert Costa -- also a Washington Post reporter -- suggested that Wallace was a part of the Republican party's "past" as he recalled that some black voters in Alabama…

August 10th, 2016 3:54 PM
On Wednesday, Columbia University’s Journalism School announced that liberal PBS NewsHour anchor Gwen Ifill would be the recipient of the graduate program’s 2016 John Chancellor Award. The school’s dean, Steve Coll, laughably justified honoring Ifill for “her unflinching pursuit of the truth, healthy skepticism of those in power and her commitment to fairness.”

December 6th, 2015 11:25 PM
Appearing as a panel member on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, PBS host Gwen Ifill made a negative characterization of GOP presidential candidates' reactions to recent terrorist attacks as she declared that, "For Republicans, it's going to be a variation of what we've seen so far, which is, 'How can we be more alarmist than the last guy?'"

NPR, PBS Shamelessly Ignore 2015 Elections in 'Week in Politics'
November 7th, 2015 7:11 AM
National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service have attempted on Fridays to run a “Week in Politics” segment and PBS even has a long-standing show called Washington Week. But on Friday, all these programs discussed a “week” utterly without any analysis of the 2015 elections.
Try to imagine how the media would have covered it if the transgender “equal rights” initiative won in Houston…
