PBS Guest Blames GOP, American Gun Culture For School Shootings
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr pinch-hit for MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart on Friday’s PBS News Hour and, during the discussion on the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis, blamed the GOP and its embrace of gun culture for mass shootings in America. New York Times columnist David Brooks wasn’t much better. While he refrained from that kind of rhetoric, he still…
PBS LEAPS on Lefty Boycott: Target Is 'Reeling,' a 'Growing Backlash'
Friday’s PBS News Hour unleashed a strangely energetic fusillade against the retail behemoth Target for supposedly bowing to Donald Trump and discreetly rolling back its so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) initiatives, hosting the pastor leading the left-wing boycott and parroting his talking points. The segment is particularly jarring given the hostile fashion the News Hour…
Capehart Gushes Over Newsom's Social Media Trump Impressions
Over the past several days, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has started posting on his social media accounts in a way intended to mimic President Trump, and on Friday’s PBS News Hour, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart was all for it.
PBS Distorts Trump Smithsonian Crusade, Hosts Prof to Rant on Jim Crow
Don’t question tax-funded museum wokery: The last segment of Wednesday’s PBS News Hour presented leftist historian Peniel Joseph to jump on a social media post by President Trump claiming the Smithsonian Institution had gone overboard dwelling on American slavery. PBS is the latest network rankled by Trump’s insistence that the Smithsonian museums emphasize America’s greatness and not…
PBS 'News' or Democrat Hacks? Platforming Marc Elias Talking Points
Friday’s PBS News Hour picked the most partisan voice imaginable to make its knee-jerk anti-Trump case against the president’s executive order to prevent crime in D.C.: Marc Elias, a partisan Democrat lawyer and MSNBC personality who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, spreading conspiracy theories about Trump being in collusion with Russia. Co-host Geoff Bennett opened the story by…
Brooks Claims Trump Ordered 'Mustard Gas' Attack 'On Our Democracy'
New York Times columnist David Brooks may have officially lost it. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Brooks reached back over 100 years into the time machine to pull out an analogy that says what President Trump and Texas are doing on redistricting is the equivalent of the German use of mustard gas in World War I.
PBS's Double Standards: Hateful Loomer vs. Gaza’s ‘Mister Rogers'
The PBS News Hour on Wednesday unwittingly showed off ideological double standards in three separate segments: a hostile profile of controversial Republican activist Laura Loomer, a gushfest with controversial pro-Palestinian activist and kid-vid host “Ms. Rachel,” and a celebration of a kinder, gentler form of racial segregation in an arts community in Maine for “Black and brown artists” only…
PBS Mourns Hamas Member Playing Reporter: ‘Death Stalks' Storytellers
Monday’s PBS News Hour mourned the death of Anas al-Sharif, covering the war in Gaza for the anti-semitic Arab network Al-Jazeera, who was killed along other journalists by an Israeli drone. Foreign affairs reporter Nick Schifrin played along with the rest of the gullible press, portraying Anas, revealed by Israeli intelligence as an undercover Hamas operative, as a hero despite massive…
PBS Drops New Euphemism for Illegals: 'People Without Legal Status'
The PBS News Hour aggressively, almost amusingly avoided the term “illegal” to describe illegal immigrants in Friday’s story on President Trump’s call for a new U.S. Census that would not count illegal immigrants, a move that would change the recorded population of various states and perhaps result in fewer members in the congressional delegation of some states with high illegal-immigrant…
PBS Attacks 'Corrosion of Democracy' As Texas Redistricts
New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart were greatly disturbed on Friday’s PBS News Hour at Texas’s mid-decade redistricting efforts, calling them part of the “corrosion of democracy” and “cheating by legal means,” and insist this is something worse than standard gerrymandering.
Texas-Obsessed PBS Totally Ignores Dems Side of House Gerrymander Wars
A redistricting arms race? Texas Republicans' plan to redraw the congressional map and eliminate five Democratic-held U.S. House seats, which would help the GOP retain control of the House in next year's midterm elections, sent Democrats in the Texas legislature fleeing to Illinois and New York to avoid a sufficient “quorum” in the chamber to vote on the measure. The spat led off Monday…
PBS's Israel Hostility Culminates in 13-Minute Inflammatory Segment
Over the last several months, the PBS News Hour has aired seemingly endless hits against Israel, blaming the invaded country for blocking food aid, even purposefully killing hundreds of innocent Gazans lining up for aid at distribution sites in Gaza they are feeding the enemy (while also being accused of genocide against that same enemy). That slant toward believing the worst about Israel…
'Why Have People Not Risen Up?': Brooks Praises Harris on Colbert Show
New York Times columnist and the allegedly conservative half of Friday’s PBS News Hour’s weekly news recap, David Brooks, praised former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview with Stephen Colbert and agreed with her that “civic capitulation” to President Trump is “a real thing.” Meanwhile, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart explained he quit his job at The Washington Post because he could…
PBS's Anti-Israel Omissions on Gaza Hunger, Hamas Health Ministry
The PBS News Hour’s bizarre post-October 7 enmity toward Israel has blared bright the last few days, eager to portray Israel, fighting for existence against a soulless enemy, Hamas, as a cruel invader purposely starving Gaza’s infants. PBS’s coverage of late has been guilty of bias by omission, spewing phony figures and hunger anecdotes from the Hamas-controlled “Health Ministry” entity --…
