CNN Host on PBS: Trump 2nd Term 'Would Be Fundamentally a Catastrophe'
CNN host Jim Sciutto worked in Beijing for Obama's ambassador to China, so it's only natural he's helping his old colleague Joe Biden. Now you can turn to the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic for bitter former Trump administration employees to denounce him as a brainless Hitler fan whose second term would be devastating to America.
False Balance: PBS Hosts Two 'Republicans' To Bash Trump, Current GOP
PBS News Weekend did something unusual on Saturday’s show: It presented two "Republicans" to talk politics. (PBS news shows are notoriously averse to hosting conservative guests.) But the two weren’t on to push conservative policies, certainly not to endorse overwhelming GOP primary favorite Donald Trump, but to evaluate the party’s divisions from an anti-Trump, anti-conservative…
PBS Goes to the Border to 'Fact Check' Immigrant-'Demonizing' Trump
With dueling presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump facing off on immigration and making separate appearances along the southern border, PBS NewsHour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez reported from the Biden stop on Thursday evening and made her feelings clear on the taxpayer-supported news program. Barron-Lopez portrayed the Democratic president as taking the immigration fight…
PBS Anchor Wants Open-Borders Biden, Gets Reality Check from Brooks!
PBS NewsHour co-anchor Amna Nawaz worried out loud that Biden was leaning toward "very harsh" immigration policies -- Trump-like policies -- and that will hurt with "core groups" that got him elected in 2020. But New York Times columnist David Brooks gently disagreed, that Biden doesn't want a "bright line" on the border, since Trump is beating him by 39 points on immigration…
FLASHBACK: Recalling Years of Liberal Media Mockery of CPAC
For years, both journalists and late-night comics have ridiculed CPAC as akin to “the bar scene in Star Wars,” “an aviary for far-right ‘wacko birds,’” and an “audience of malignant children.”
PBS Omits James Biden Testimony, Obsesses Over New Russiagate Angle
On Wednesday, President Biden's brother James testified in the House impeachment inquiry. The PBS NewsHour aired an eight-minute segment on the Biden impeachment that never mentioned James Biden once. Instead, they obsessed over a new Russian-interference angle, as if they forgot the perennial falsehood of the "collusion" conspiracy theories?
PBS: Biden Special Counsel Was Performing for 'MAGA Republicans'
The PBS NewsHour Friday followed up its ridiculously supportive story Thursday evening on mentally declining President Joe Biden who held a presser to lash out at a damning special counsel report documenting his false statements about how he treated classified documents, as well as documenting his problems remembering important events. Thursday night's program featured, as its expert…
PBS Smears Speaker Johnson as Christian Extremist Linked to January 6
From Amanpour & Co. to the PBS NewsHour, public television is all over the threat of “Christian Nationalism” as the 2024 presidential campaign gathers steam. Thursday evening’s edition featured perhaps the most conservative-hostile reporter on staff, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, to offer its taxpayer-funded liberal alarmism regarding devout Trump…
PBS Smear Hour: Accusing Trump, Fox, and GOP of ‘Dog-Whistle’ Racism
The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour fiercely attacked both presidential candidate Donald Trump and its journalistic competitors Fox News for racism in a segment that appeared online under the heading “Trump deploys racist tactics as Biden rematch appears likely.” They reached back to smear Nixon and Reagan as well as they talked to a leftist about "dog-whistle politics."
PBS Crowns Biden Savior of Democracy vs Trump's 'Stochastic Terrorism'
The PBS NewsHour on Friday ran with the anti-Trump talking points from the Joe Biden re-election campaign, with Biden posing as defender of democracy at the historical site Valley Forge, painting Donald Trump as a danger to democracy (never mind Biden’s Democratic Party throwing Trump off the ballot in two states and counting). Nawaz used loaded liberal language, claiming Biden was “…
PBS Touts Media 'Obligation' to Trash Trump in the Name of 'Democracy'
It was a triple-liberal-team up against Donald Trump on Tuesday’s edition of the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour with an interview segment headlined online, “How media organizations are facing the task of covering Trump’s anti-democratic rhetoric.” (Ironically, the segment on the dangers Trump posed to democracy was introduced with news that Trump had been removed from the ballot in…
PBS: Genocidal Chant Just a Call to 'Live Freely Alongside Israelis'?
Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured disturbing equivocation about the Hamas slogan "from the river to the sea," a reference to the eradication of Israel. Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez made her own offensive statement. Both Jews and Hamas-adjacent anti-Semites know what it means when pro-Palestinian mobs shout “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” but Barron-Lopez…
PBS: Trump ‘Would Turn Presidency Into Dictatorship’ If Left on Ballot
As part of its endless cycle of being scandalized by Donald Trump, PBS NewsHour correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed liberal Harvard professor Laurence Tribe to explain how apparently wrong it was for a judge to rule Trump was eligible to be on the 2024 ballot in Colorado. PBS renewed its recent habit of using a single source to amplify a fringe liberal or anti-Trump argument…
PBS Priorities:Fretting Over Phony ‘Islamophobia,’ Not Actual Jew-Hate
Thursday’s PBS NewsHour indulged in offensive moral equivalence, pretending Islamophobia in the United States was as big a threat to public safety than the current wave of violent anti-Semitism hitting progressive cities and college campuses, while also sliming Fox News hosts as endangering Muslims. Host Geoff Bennett’s segment led with “Islamophobia,” even while Jews are under attack…
