PBS’s Barron-Lopez: Pinning Wildfires on Democrats Is ‘Disinformation’
Friday’s edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic played defense for the Democratic Party in California over the raging wildfires that have destroyed tens of thousands of acres and thousands of houses, with one panelist in particular taking the time to chiding Trump and call Republicans liars for daring to point out the obvious failures of human response.

PBS: Meta Free Speech Move May 'Pave Way for Spike in Misinformation'
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s startling announcement that his company’s Facebook and Instagram sites would drop its censorious fact-checking process scared the press and leftist academics, who would no longer be able to use pseudo-scientific concepts like “misinformation” to silence conservative debate on issues like COVID, radical Islam, Black Lives Matter, and “climate change.” Tuesday’s…
PBS, NPR Blame Fox for Marines at Capitol Riot Where ‘Seven' (?) Died
PBS News Weekend blamed Fox News and “far right” websites for the Capitol Hill riot (or as both PBS and their NPR guests insisted, “insurrection”) on a news segment Sunday evening, the eve of the fourth anniversary of that terrible day in the nation’s capital. NPR's Lauren Hodges spoke of the rioters: “They had an eagerness to see some violence or participate in it.” Which makes it…
PBS Labeling of 'Extreme Right' GOP Congress Continues Into 2025
Both the PBS News Hour and PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable Washington Week in Review used the new 199th Congress and Rep.

PBS Hails 'The Glow Around' Jimmy Carter's Post-Presidency
PBS News Hour’s first weekly recap featuring Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks of the new year concluded with the duo taking turns singing the praises of former President Jimmy Carter and “the glow around him.” While one might have expected the liberal Capehart to say such things, the supposedly conservative Brooks failed to even…
PBS Lauds Carter for Israel Apartheid Smear, Skips Extremism Tolerance
The hagiography of President Jimmy Carter, who died on Sunday at age 100, continued Monday evening on the tax-funded PBS News Hour. The online headline summarized: “A look at Carter’s accomplishments as president and his legacy as a human rights champion.” President Ronald Reagan certainly didn’t get that treatment for ending the Cold War by pushing the Soviets into the dustbin of…
PBS Touts Partner PolitiFact Awarding Trump/Vance 'Lie of the Year'
The PBS partnership with the liberal "fact checkers" at PolitiFact was celebrated on Christmas with a seven-minute promotional segment for their "Lie of the Year" award, granted to Donald Trump and J.D.

PBS: 'Queering Your Classroom' With the 'LGBTQ+ Identity Toolkit'
Whenever the first Trump administration made noises about defunding public media (in its 2017 and 2018 budget proposals, for instance), including National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally founded tax-funded entity ostensibly in charge, would respond by emphasizing how PBS benefits kids. But must PBS’s…
PBS Anchor Quotes WashPost: Elon Has Too Much Power, It's 'OLIGARCHY'!
The PBS NewsHour Friday night pundit panel of Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks took on the shutdown showdown. Anchor Geoff Bennett quoting from a “news report” from The Washington Post that sounds a lot like a liberal editorial, that Musk’s advising reeks of “oligarchy.” These people really have to keep insisting democracy on the wane!
PBS Mourns Wray 'Allowed' Trump 'To Shatter Yet Another Norm'
The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour was displeased with FBI Director Christopher Wray for resigning before Donald Trump could fire him because “he allowed Donald Trump to shatter yet another norm without imposing any cost.” Throughout the entire discussion, there was no thought given to the idea that there is something about the FBI that needs fixing.v
PBS 'Expert' Rips Hegseth Cross Tattoo, Compares Him to Mass Shooters
Thursday’s PBS News Hour welcomed back Brad Onishi (host of the podcast "Straight White American Jesus") to warn once again about scary Christian conservatism, this time encapsulated in Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, interviewed by the show’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez. Onishi compared Hegseth to mass shooters and to white nationalists…
PBS Warns of Rising Misogyny Under Trump Based on 24-Hour Lefty Study
After Trump’s convincing election victory last month, the PBS News Hour is finding its far-left feet again. On Tuesday night it treated a silly left-wing study from a discredited lefty scaremongering outfit as a disturbing revelation about Trump-fueled misogyny, based on some tasteless playground humor being spread around the internet for shock value.
