PBS Fetes Hillary, Endorses Biden's Bashing of GOP as ‘Semi-Fascist'
On Tuesday, the tax-funded PBS NewsHour feted Democrat Hillary Clinton, now a professor at Columbia University at the new Institute of Global Politics.

STUDY: PBS NewsHour Gives 90% of Its Time to the Radical Left on LGBTQ
The taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has a federally mandated obligation to deliver an objective take on public affairs. Yet a new Media Research Center study finds PBS’s flagship NewsHour program aired nine times more coverage in favor of the left-wing "woke" position on so-called "LGBTQ" issues compared to more traditional positions, while 95% of in-studio…
PBS Runs Down GOP Candidates on 'Slavery' Curriculum, Transgender Kids
The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour program caught up to the second Republican presidential debate on Thursday evening and predictably characterized it as a sad mess.

Trump Takes the Wheel? PBS Promotes Cassidy Hutchinson, No Fact Checks
Even on a newscast preceding that night’s GOP presidential debate, the tax-supported PBS NewsHour kept its focus on former president Donald Trump, inviting former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on to promote her book, Enough, about her traumatic experiences in the Trump White House and how dangerous it would be for Trump to win a second term of office. You may remember…
Media Choir Raise Voices to Falsely Glorify Feinstein a ‘Centrist’
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein was a liberal stalwart who took up extreme positions against Second Amendment rights and harmful environmental policies.

Rupert Rant: NPR’s Folkenflik Rips ‘Corrosive…Right-Wing’ Fox on PBS
The "public" broadcasting elite loathes Fox News. When news broke that 92-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Fox News founder and chairman of News Corp, is stepping down in favor of his son Lachlan, that encouraged tax-funded PBS to trot out Murdoch-bashing journalist David Folkenflik of tax-funded National Public Radio on Thursday evening to lament the chairman’s "corrosive" right-…
PBS Attacks GOP 'Nihilistic Performance Artists' Not $33 Trillion Debt
For PBS NewsHour’s regular weekly recap on Friday with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, the news that the national debt surpassed $33 trillion was deemed so unimportant that it was not mentioned. What was considered important are the internal power dynamics within the Republican Party.
PBS Pundit David Brooks Confesses: My Inflation Tweet Was So 'STUPID'
New York Times columnist David Brooks went viral on "Twitter" on Wedneday for a tweet displaying a burger, fries, and a glass of booze. "This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport.

Column: 'Public Broadcasting' Bored Silly by Republican Hearings
Attorney General Merrick Garland offered a “fiery defense” in a “grueling hearing” of a House Judiciary Committee “stocked with far-right stalwarts,” as The New York Times described it. A special bucket of opprobrium should go to what they call “public broadcasting,” PBS and NPR. On the PBS NewsHour, they could barely manage a two-minute story on the Garland hearing.
MSNBC Fawns Over ‘Powerful,’ ‘Positive’ Biden Speech at the U.N.
President Biden made his 2023 address Tuesday morning to the United Nations General Assembly and, as predicted, the liberal media were there to swoon over it like North Korean propagandists. MSNBC played that role, touting it as a “comprehensive” set of remarks with “powerful” and “positive” messaging that showed concern for climate change and Ukraine.
PBS Hypes ‘Popular Authoritarian Movement Within the Republican Party'
On Thursday’s taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour, notoriously liberal correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez interviewed two Harvard professors about their new anti-Republican tome: "Can you first establish when you, as someone who is an expert in the collapse of democracies, diagnosed that there is now a popular authoritarian movement within the Republican Party?"
PBS Hosts Rip Elon Musk: Racist, Sexist, 'Potentially Dangerous Man'
Two shows that air on tax-funded PBS, the NewsHour and Amanpour & Co., invited journalist and Amanpour regular Walter Isaacson to discuss his new biography of entrepreneur Elon Musk who now owns X (formerly Twitter). The results were less cozy than the usual journalist-to-journalist validation, with the reliably liberal Isaacson getting testy over some of the questions…
PBS Warns GOP 'Cheapening' Impeachment Without a 'Holy Cow' Moment
New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett on Friday for their regularly scheduled recap of the week’s top stories.

State-Run PBS Rolls Over to Biden Aide Demanding More Pro-Biden Bias
Biden aide Ian Sams put out a memo demanding the "independent media" must "ramp up the scrutiny" of House Republicans. PBS NewsHour promptly put Sams on taxpayer-funded TV to rip the Republicans for having "no evidence."
