Hurt PBS Tackles Teamsters for Not Endorsing Dems
On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, anchor Geoff Bennett seemed bugged that the large and influential Teamsters union (representing truckers) wasn’t falling in line with other unions and endorsing the liberal Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz: "So you said one of the reasons why the Teamsters are withholding an endorsement is because neither candidate was able to make serious…
'She Is The Culture': PBS Takes Gushing Over Harris To The Next Level
For all of the media odes to Kamala Harris and her “joy,” the Friday edition of PBS News Hour may have been the most effusive. New York Times columnist David Brooks declared “it’s just who she is,” host Geoff Bennett mused about “attacks on her joyful warrior approach,” and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed “she is the culture.”
Kooky PBS: Trump-Appointed USPS Head Could Delay Ballots to Help Him!
After bashing Donald Trump nonstop for spreading various conspiracy theories, the PBS News Hour seemed quite comfortable spreading its own election conspiracies on Thursday evening, going beyond even MSNBC in suggesting that Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (retained by the Biden administration) could somehow be fostering ballot delivery delays to help Trump win election…
Hating GOP, Hailing Democrats: PBS’s Very Biased Convention Coverage
The Republican and Democratic conventions are over, and it’s clear which party was the favorite of taxpayer-supported PBS. Not even the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump quelled the overwhelming negativity with which the PBS panel greeted the Republican Party Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee in July. Yet a month later, Vice-President Kamala Harris and a familiar crew of…
PBS: Conservatives Ruining DEI for 'Trans Workers at Tractor Supply'
Taxpayer-supported PBS mourned success by conservatives on Wednesday's News Hour in pushing back with consumer activism against the flagrantly dishonest "diversity-equity-inclusion" drives in corporate America. PBS used the term "conservative" six times, but never found an ideological label for the Left. They were "pro-DEI folks" pushing "diversity initiatives" for people like "trans…
'One Of The Lowest Moments': PBS Attacks Trump's Arlington Visit
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and New York Times counterpart David Brooks agreed on Friday’s PBS News Hour that Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery was “really one of the lowest political moments” they could recall.
PBS Confesses: Dems Say, We Say ‘Reproductive Rights,’ Not ‘Abortion'
One piece of PBS’s coverage of the last night of the Democratic National Convention unwittingly confirmed media labeling bias on PBS and other “mainstream “outlets. First, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart hailed the Democrat’s vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz for using the supposedly less frightening and more convincing term “gun safety legislation” instead of “gun…
PBS Harkens to 'Joyful Warrior' Harris Rekindling Excitement of Obama
The “excitement” began right from the introduction of PBS’s coverage of Night Two of the Democratic National Convention from Chicago, which featured consecutive speeches by Michelle and Barack Obama. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett set up this T-ball of a question: “And former president Barack Obama speaks to the city that helped launch his political career.” Next, in a staged soundbite, someone off-…
PBS Claim of GOP ‘Demonizing’ Dem Women Popped by Brooks in Two Words
Although he appears as the ostensible voice from the right on the PBS News Hour’s Friday evening political discussion, New York Times columnist David Brooks is no one’s idea of a hard-core conservative. He said “I love Joe Biden” before criticizing Biden’s angry speech on Night One of the Democratic National Convention, after previously stating “I do think Donald Trump is…
PBS’s Barron-Lopez Eats Up ‘Kamala Cake’ and DNC ‘Palpable Excitement’
While covering Night One of the Democratic convention from Chicago, PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez was as energized as a Democratic delegate (or PBS’s introductory voiceover to its coverage), gushing over a “Kamala Cake” featured by a local bakery and relaying the “palpable enthusiasm” from the convention floor. Barron-Lopez, who usually covers the White House, was quite…
Brooks Surprised 'Responsible' Harris Backs Soviet-Like Price Controls
New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour theoretical conservative David Brooks was shocked on Friday’s show that “a responsible Democratic candidate” would endorse Soviet-like price controls on food.
PBS Defends Walz From 'Pouncing' Trump, Suggests He's 'More Moderate'
After the Kamala Harris campaign named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a cozy interview with his fellow Minnesota pol, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, on Tuesday evening, and quickly transformed himself into a liberal media cliché. Bennett: "The Trump campaign is already pouncing, calling him dangerously liberal and saying that the Harris/Walz…
On Prisoner Swap, Capehart Gushes 'Not Bad For An 82-Year-Old Man'
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart had nothing but effusive praise for President Joe Biden on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he marveled at the prisoner swap with Russia being, “not bad for an 82-year-old man everyone said had cognitive decline and were questioning his mental acuity.”
Pro-Abortion Kamala Excites Atlanta Rally (and PBS's Barron-Lopez)
PBS’s most biased reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, showed still more excitement about the fledgling Kamala Harris campaign at a rally in Atlanta, on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour. First, anchor Geoff Bennett pumped up Democratic optimism in red-leaning Georgia: Vice president Kamala Harris campaigns in Georgia, a state that's now even more hotly…
