'One Of The Most Insulting Things': PBS Attacks Vance's Pope Criticism
Ever since Pope Leo assumed the papacy, PBS News Hour Friday contributors MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart and The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks have tried to claim him as one of their own in their fight against the Trump administration. That continued this Friday as the duo essentially told Vice President JD Vance to shut up when it comes to criticizing Leo’s remarks about…
PBS Finds Leftist Priest to Tout Pope Leo, Trash Trump-Vance 'Hubris'
In a war of words between President Trump and Pope Leo, the PBS News Hour is going to line up with the pontiff, who they perceive as on "their side." To attack Trump, PBS welcomed on Stephen Colbert's favorite priest, Father James Martin, a leftist activist hailed for being "passionate about LGBTQ+ inclusion and advocacy within the Catholic Church." Anchor Amna Nawaz threw him…
PBS Finds a Righty Think Tank Worthy of Respect: Pro-Immigration Cato
Sightings of conservatives or limited-government types are hard to find on the PBS News Hour, yet the D.C.-based Cato Institute, which takes the fiscal conservative side on government size and spending, has bucked the trend, with David Bier, Cato’s director of immigration studies, making four guest appearances over the previous year, all on immigration, and all in opposition to Trump…
PBS Wonders 'Is There No Line Left' For Trump To Cross
The trio of PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett, The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks, and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart assembled on Friday for one of their more wild weekly news recaps. During their discussion Bennett would ask if there is “no line left” for President Trump to cross and if Trump is benefiting from a media double standard compared to President Biden. Making…
PBS Reporter Slams Israel's 'Occupation' of Hezbollah-Run Lebanon
On Tuesday’s PBS News Hour, the network’s Middle East-based “special correspondent” Simona Foltyn, who has a virulently anti-Israel X feed and a journalistic history to match (including reporting for Qatar-regime mouthpiece Al Jazeera English) reliably boosted a reliably blame-Israel, pro-Hezbollah perspective. Israel’s reasonable motivations for its strikes over Beirut -- to…
PBS Expert on Search-and-Rescue Had Accused Pete Hegseth of War Crimes
For a segment ostensibly about the (eventually successful) search-and-rescue mission for an airman downed over Iran, Friday’s PBS News Hour platformed a source who less than two weeks ago went on a radical radio show to accuse Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of enabling war crimes in Iran -- and who also snuck in his radical anti-war points into his PBS discussion about rescue.
PBS Ready To Declare Defeat: 'We're Losing Every Day He Continues'
The trio of PBS News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz, The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks, and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart appeared ready to pronounce defeat on Friday as they juxtaposed President Trump’s Iran speech earlier in the week to the day’s news that saw an American F-15 and Black Hawk helicopter go down in Iran.
PBS's Silly Science: Weather Just Gets 'Worse and Worse Every Year'
Thursday’s PBS News Hour segment on “extreme weather events” turned out even more bluntly unscientific than the channel’s usual apocalyptic environmental “Tipping Point” fare, with reporter Ali Rogin’s “climate change” screed equating temporary weather patterns with dangerous climate change -- at least when the show and its climate guest cherry-pick the hottest spots on the map. …
Jim Acosta: 'I Would Send Billions of Dollars to Public Broadcasting'
PBS News Hour co-host Geoff Bennett turned up on The Jim Acosta Show to promote his new book on black comedy titled Black Out Loud. Bennett and Acosta were both White House reporters in Trump's first term. After talking all about The Cosby Show and In Living Color, Acosta felt compelled to gush over PBS to a rather overenthusiastic degree.
OMISSION: ABC, CBS, NBC Ignore Dem Congresswoman’s Ethics Trial
The House Ethics Committee held their scheduled adjudicatory hearing, more commonly referred to as a “trial”, against Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL). Sadly, none of the main broadcast network newscasts saw fit to carry the story.
PBS Report on Olympic ‘Trans Women’ Ban Hides a Big Part of the Story
Today, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted to bar biological men from competing as women, beginning with the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The major broadcast evening newscasts all omitted the story. PBS NewsHour picked it up, in a report containing a significant omission.
PBS: Trump Airbrushes History, Hiding Fact USA 'Wasn't Always Perfect'
As America’s semiquincentennial rolls around, is the Trump Administration whitewashing the evils of America’s history? The PBS News Hour thinks so. On their “Politics Monday” segment with pollster Amy Walter and NPR’s Tamara Keith, co-host Geoff Bennett asked his guests about the White House installing a statute of Christopher Columbus on the grounds.
PBS Punts on Mamdani's Pro-Hamas Wife in Cozy, Clannish Interview
Friday’s PBS News Hour featured a taped interview between co-anchor Amna Nawaz and New York City’s new mayor Zohran Mamdani. Would there be hard-hitting questions about Mamdani’s previous silence on anti-Semitism? His pro-Hamas, October 7 rape-denying wife? His ominous promise to “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”? No chance.…
Capehart Tries To Cast Doubt On Claims Of Success In Iran
PBS News Hour anchor William Brangham and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart tried on Friday to cast doubt on President Trump’s proclamations of military success. However, to do that, they had to employ a definition of success that would be impossible for any war to achieve.
