PBS Uses Thomas to Push Reporter’s Book Warning of Scary Righty SCOTUS
CNN Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic gives off a Nina Totenberg vibe, a longtime legal reporter who's all about diminishing the conservatives. So it's only natural that she was invited on the CNN/PBS-aired talk show Amanpour & Co. The news hook was a ProPublica probe into Clarence Thomas and his ritzy travel with a GOP "megadonor."

Media Outlets Fault Cops for Misgendering Nashville Trans Mass Killer
After the horrific shooting murder of three children and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville on Monday, public broadcasting and the New York Times joined the rest of the press in emphasizing the real crime: Misgendering the shooter, “trans man” Audrey Hale, who was stopped and killed by the brave officers who arrived at the scene -- a woman who identified as a man. On…
ABC & CBS Hype Sanders Berating CEO After Ignoring Mayorkas Grilling
Just 24 hours after ignoring Biden’s secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas’s well-deserved grilling by Senators for his disastrous performance in office, ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News showed how they are nothing more than servile stenographers for the Democrat Party on Wednesday when they breathlessly covered socialist Senator Bernie Sanders…
Be My Leftist Guest: PBS’s False Objectivity Poisons Political Debate
PBS, established in 1969, has an outdated reputation for delivering a polite, objective take on the news of the day, exemplified by its flagship evening news program, now called the PBS NewsHour.

PBS, NPR Use Rep. Pat Schroeder’s Death to Dig at ‘Teflon’ Reagan
The press never misses a chance for a dig at conservative president Ronald Reagan, as shown by public television’s fulsome tributes to “trailblazing” former Colorado Rep. Pat Schroeder, dead at 82. Schroeder served 12 terms in the House as a prominent liberal feminist. PBS and NPR also celebrated her "sharp wit," or at least her political cracks at the expense of then-President Reagan.
PBS Never Satisfied: ‘Oscars So Male’ and Other Academy Award Gripes
Media activists who obsess over “representation” in Hollywood (think the #OscarsSoWhite hash-tag on Twitter), will never be satisfied as long as there are ways to slice the racial-gender figures of directors, actors, award nominees, and box-office results so that liberals will come away disappointed in the alleged lack of “representation” at the movies. The Oscars are a prime season to air…
PBS Whines as DC Crime Bill Trounced: GOP ‘Pounced,’ Dems ‘Blindsided'
Congress used its constitutional authority to override a Washington, D.C. local crime bill that would have reduced penalties for murder, armed robbery, and sexual assault.
