Laura Barrón-López

Tuesday evening’s PBS News Hour, guest hosted by reporter William Brangham, opened with a full nine-minute segment on the “mistaken” deportation of El Salvadoran illegal immigrant (misleadingly named “Maryland man” by the press) Kilmar Abrego Garcia by reporter Laura Barron-Lopez. Yet that same news outlet -- including in the mix PBS News Weekend -- has spent 0 seconds (the…

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez had an eventful Monday show. Within the span of two minutes, she managed to omit that a recently deported visa holder admitted to attending Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's funeral and interviewed Law Professor Kim Wehle, who suggested Trump’s immigration policies writ large should merit a third impeachment.

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez tried to claim on Thursday that if the Trump Administration is able to successfully deport pro-Hamas Columbia University student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil, it can deport any legal immigrant simply for disagreeing with them.

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez joined the Wednesday edition of CNN’s Inside Politics to freak out about President Donald Trump’s plans to close, or at least downsize, the Department of Education. As Barron-Lopez tells it, Trump is trying to privatize public education, and shuttering the department will start a domino effect that will lead states to…

PBS and NPR know that Trump, Musk, and the Republicans are looking at defunding them, but they inevitably covered Trump’s speech to Congress with their usual anti-Trump tilt.

When PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron Lopez spoke on Monday with the recently resigned IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel, it was the tax-funded news network’s latest defense against DOGE’s cuts in federal spending and staff reductions. PBS dutifully crammed the hypothetical budget cut highway with awful-sounding blockades, and added an old-fashioned soak-the-rich twist.

Four weeks into the second term of President Trump, it's painfully clear that the "Public Broadcasting Service" loathes Trump and his "government efficiency" czar, billionaire Elon Musk. They don't say the reason out loud, but Musk has made clear he thinks "public" broadcasting should be defunded. He's Public Broadcasting Enemy #1. 

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…

The average American awards some amount of undeserved prestige to "public" TV and radio merely by the branding of "public," like it's for all the people. But PBS and NPR are not acting for the entire "public." They are taxpayer-subsidized propaganda, and they often ignore or downplay news events that they do not support. Exhibit A for Abortion: the annual March for Life, which draws…

When you see that PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, has filed a 10-minute-long overview of the history of immigration policies in the United States, you arrive prepared for an onslaught of bias on an issue Barron-Lopez has been particularly liberal on. So it was a pleasant surprise to find that Tuesday’s report actually took a balanced look at the topic.  

On Monday, PBS News Hour’s White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez called up the liberal media’s campaign-period name-calling of re-elected President Trump as “the convicted felon,” while skating over Biden’s preemptive family pardons. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz launched the festival of excuse-making on outgoing President Biden’s behalf: "President Trump's second term officially kick-starts…

PBS News’s coverage of Donald Trump’s second inauguration featured PBS News Hour co-anchors Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz and included Laura Barron-Lopez, stationed at the White House. Barron-Lopez, as always, was a reliable defender of the Democratic president, adopting a pro-Democratic double standard on the last-minute pre-emptive family pardons issued by Joe Biden, an…

President Biden's farewell address included some sour grapes about “an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power,” after Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump. But taxpayer-funded PBS didn’t see any hyperbole in its special coverage of Biden’s speech, only fair warnings about the incoming Trump administration. 

As Donald Trump takes office for the second time,taxpayer-funded PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, on Monday used the upcoming Senate confirmation hearings for Pete Hegseth to once again throw a bunch of sexual-related accusations at prominent Republicans. But first, co-anchor Geoff Bennett poisoned the waters against Hegseth as well.
