PBS Defense Fails: 'If Viewers Love PBS So Much, Let Them Pay for It'
A new paper defending PBS is headlined "An island of trust: public broadcasting in the United States," which was featured in Current, a sort of trade publication for public media: “Study shows Americans trust PBS precisely because it’s publicly funded.” The left-leaning Harvard-affiliated Nieman Journalism Lab quickly reprinted it, claiming "It’s essential…

5th Anniversary of George Floyd’s Death – The Damage Continues, Part 1
It’s been five years since the George Floyd/BLM protests and riots. Therefore, the leftwing legacy media seizes upon this occasion to pull out its race-colored thermometer to measure America’s post George Floyd “racial progress.” A recent New York Times headline read, “Five Years After Floyd -- We look at what has changed since George Floyd’s murder.” According to The Times…

Post-Clooney Play, Anderson Cooper Coos Over Scott Pelley's 'Courage'
It was biased enough for CNN to air a live Broadway performance of George Clooney's Broadway play which glorifies 1950s CBS left-wing hack Edward R. Murrow attacking anti-communist Sen. Joseph McCarthy as an anti-Trump #Resistance ploy. That extended to the pre-play and post-play coverage. After it was over, Anderson Cooper brought on 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley for a promotional…

Stelter Spews Vastly Peaceful Talk, Accuses Trump of Authoritarianism
CNN tried hard to spin the violent protests over immigration enforcement in Los Angeles. In the midnight hour (Eastern time) on Sunday, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter insisted "the vast majority of these actions have been peaceful" and Trump is "stoking a fight" out of these "very isolated episodes of unrest."

The Thursday episode of the “Ask a Jew” podcast hosted Uri Berliner, former senior business editor at NPR, who was suspended and later resigned from the outlet for his damning critique of the insular liberal bias of taxpayer funded NPR.

Libs at New York Magazine Irked by KJP Declaring Herself 'Independent'
New York magazine writer Charlotte Klein criticizes former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for her departure from the Democratic Party and embrace of the "independent" label, a term Jean-Pierre uses extensively in her new book.

Why Would a 'Fact Checker' Use the Term 'Gender-Affirming Care'?
One easy test of whether a media outlet is truly "fact-based" is the claims and lingo of transgender advocates. That goes double for "independent fact-checkers." If you call hormone blockers or amputation surgeries "gender-affirming care," then you are using the fact-mangling rhetoric of activists, not caring for facts. An article by PolitiFact writer Grace Abels used "gender-affirming care"…

Piers Morgan Uncensored hosted a show inviting a panel of political and academic credits to debate which presidential scandal was worse: Biden’s cover-up for his health or Nixon’s Watergate scandal. One of the…
