PBS Puts On Pro-PBS Liberal GOP Senator to Promote Funding for PBS
As a vote on rescissions (clawing back already approved funding) in the Senate looms that may decide the fate of federal funding for PBS and NPR, liberal Republican Margaret Hoover, host of PBS’s Firing Line, invited a timely guest onto Friday’s show: liberal Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a self-described “unabashed supporter of public broadcasting in my state” and author…
How About Them Apples: CBS Discovers Social Security Is Going Broke
On Thursday, CBS showed some admirable news judgment on CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News by choosing to inform viewers about a ticking fiscal bomb many fiscal hawks have been warning about for decades, which is Social Security essentially going broke in the next decade. Even though it’s being talked about as a Republican is in the White House, it’s still worth giving…
Column: Broadcast Love Letters for Lisa Murkowski
Here’s how it's so easy to identify the national media as liberal Democrats: They hate “moderate” Democrats. They love moderate Republicans. They despise disunity in their party, and love to fester disunity in the Other Party. This week, we’ve witnessed an outpouring of love for Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, which you would never see for a Joe Manchin.
CBS Teams Up With Dem to Clutch Pearls Over Iran Strike Legality
The debate over the commander-in-chief’s powers versus the U.S. Congress’s has increased following President Trump’s Operation: Midnight Hammer airstrikes on Iran. On Monday, CBS Mornings Plus invited Colorado’s Democratic Congressman Jason Crow to push Congress to claw back their authority to authorize military strikes, but was this motivated by who the sitting President was?
CBS’s Dickerson Dismisses Big, Beautiful Bill as DOOOOM for the Poor
The embodiment of the kind of acceptable liberal journalist to today’s left, CBS Evening News Plus has always ended with anchor John Dickerson let it rip on whatever issue he desires weighing in on. Increasingly, it’s been political and snide, giving his opinion on how much he loathes Trump and the MAGA agenda. Thursday was no exception as he denounced the Big, Beautiful Bill as…
PBS Twists Democratic Shoving, Discrimination Into Trump REVENGE
On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett twisted a legitimate arrest of a Democratic congresswoman for pushing and shoving federal agents into a Trump revenge tour against his “perceived political adversaries.” As if a victim of Democratic lawfare and two assassination attempts doesn’t have actual enemies?
MASK OFF: Longtime D.C. Journo Considering Run for House as a Democrat
Monday morning’s Politico Playbook dished a hilarious exclusive that former longtime Capitol Hill reporter Hanna Trudo — who had been until earlier this spring The Hill’s senior political correspondent — “is exploring a campaign for Congress as a Democrat in New Hampshire’s 1st District” after a career that also featured stops at the Daily Beast and Politico.
Today’s Boogeyman Is Elon Musk
As a child I frequently visited relatives in southern Indiana. A great uncle tried to keep me from exploring his cellar (as they were called then) by telling me the boogeyman was down there and would “get you” if I descended the stairs. It worked. Boogeymen are nothing new. They have existed in the form of politicians going back to the founding of the country. See how Thomas Jefferson…
Networks Get Weak Knees Over Dem Senator Cory Booker’s Fake Filibuster
Between Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were head over heels for Senator Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) 25-hour-long, “marathon” act of chicanery “speaking in a protest” against Trump and “shin[ning] a spotlight on” his “rapid fire and controversial actions” through “the little bit of power and influence” they have in Washington. At one point, one anchor…
Editor’s Pick: Free Beacon on Warnock’s Lavish House Church Bought Him
2023 MRC Bulldog Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism winner Andrew Kerr penned a blockbuster piece Monday morning in the Washington Free Beacon that revealed far-left Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) lives in $1 million home DeKalb County, Georgia without having every owed a penny thanks “to Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he still serves as part-time senior pastor when he's not…
Broadcast Networks IGNORE Rep. Crockett Allegedly Assaulting Reporter
Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) keeps doing newsworthy things — but, curiously, receiving basically no headlines. Despite Crockett’s busy week of calling for violence against Republican Senator Ted Cruz (TX), referring to wheelchair-bound Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) s “Governor Hot Wheels,” and allegedly assaulting a reporter, the Congresswoman has not been the subject of…
PBS, NPR Cover Their Own Bosses, Downplay Ridiculous Bias Denial
PBS and NPR each faced the difficulty on Wednesday night of covering their own bosses taking tough questions from Republicans at the Capitol in a hearing on Wednesday. PBS actually aired a Republican citing us -- just as a "conservative media watchdog group."
Gaslighting: PBS Tries to Refute Bias Claims Before House Testimony
Before Wednesday’s congressional testimony from the heads of PBS and NPR in front of the House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency (DOGE), PBS’s flagship news show News Hour offered up some gaslighting on Tuesday evening in defense of the program’s political objectivity and balance -- a laughable proposition to anyone who has watched an episode.
Here Are the Top Moments from the DOGE Hearing on Defunding NPR & PBS
On Wednesday, the House Subcommittee on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) held a hearing featuring the CEOs of National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS amid a new push to achieve a decades-old effort to defund the far-left propaganda outlets that annually see hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.With their federal dollars on the line, NPR’s Katherine Maher and PBS’s Paula Kerger…
