PBS Claims Reaction To Socialist Mamdani's Win Has Been 'Hateful'
Friday’s weekly news recap featuring PBS News Hour host Amna Nawaz, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks preferred to talk about the conservative reaction—or more accurately, Nawaz’s cherry-picked conservative reactions—to socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral primary win than Mamdani’s actual…

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.

PBS Favors Lefty Mamdani in NYC Mayor Primary: Obama to Cuomo’s Trump?
Zohran Mamdani, the controversial leftwing Muslim candidate who last night won the Democratic primary in the New York City mayoral race and will take on incumbent Eric Adams this fall, was celebrated on PBS’s News Hour Monday, before Election Day. At least both co-anchor Geoff Bennett and field reporter William Brangham called Mamdani a “socialist,” though the label would be hard to…

PBS Turns Library of Congress Firing Into Censorship, Democracy Attack
In May, President Trump fired Carla Hayden, the Obama-nominated head of the Library of Congress, and the PBS News Hour came to the defense of its tax-funded brethren on Friday evening. Setting up a previously recorded interview with Hayden, co-anchor Geoff Bennett called Hayden “a trailblazing Librarian of Congress” and said, “I traveled to Baltimore to speak with her about being…

Capehart Claims GOP is Afraid 'Of Being Human' on Political Rhetoric
If one were only to watch Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour, they would come away with the impression that “rotten” political rhetoric is mainly a right-wing phenomenon. Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart went so far as to claim Republicans are afraid “of being human” on the matter.

Tinfoil Hat Capehart: LA Response Part of a Plan To Suspend Elections
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour that he knows the actual reason for President Trump’s response to rioting in Los Angeles and for Saturday’s Army parade in Washington. According to him, it is all part of a scheme that will eventually allow Trump to cancel elections.

PBS Turns to Left to Explain Trump's 'Alarming' L.A. Troop Deployment
Thursday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour turned to leftist group the Brennan Center for Justice and a liberal mayor as their experts to criticize President Trump’s use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles and other cities to quell violence at protests against ICE’s arrest of illegal immigrants.

PBS Finds Mostly 'Non-Violent,' 'Festival-like' Atmosphere in L.A.
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting. Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on…

Most Biased PBS Reporter Tries to Transform Trump Into an Anti-Semite
PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, filed a wide-ranging story Monday about some of the more controversial figures in the orbit of Donald Trump’s administration, yet also spread the ridiculous notion that Trump himself is an anti-Semite (if so, he’s doing a very bad job of it). Her sole guest was Jacob Ware, co-author of God, Guns,…

Hypocrites: PBS Criticizes Federal Arts Funding Cuts, Then Bashes Debt
When it’s not bashing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for furthering the national debt, the PBS News Hour works hard to poison the well against any reductions in federal spending. Thursday’s edition featured 19 minutes of coverage of the bill emphasizing trillions of dollars being added to the national debt. Yet the night before, PBS dug up yet another sob story about relatively small…
