Liberal journalists dumped a barrel of glorifying adjectives upon the news Bill Moyers died at age 91. The Washington Post headline was “Bill Moyers, eminence of public affairs broadcasting, dies at 91.” CNN’s Brian Stelter oozed: “His career can and should serve as a model for younger generations.” Ugh.

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

As a vote on rescissions (clawing back already approved funding) in the Senate looms that may decide the fate of federal funding for PBS and NPR, liberal Republican Margaret Hoover, host of PBS’s Firing Line, invited a timely guest onto Friday’s show: liberal Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a self-described “unabashed supporter of public broadcasting in my state” and author…

MRC Vice President Dan Schneider appeared Thursday on the hot morning D.C. talk show O’Connor & Co. on WMAL-FM to discuss the potential clawback of $1.1 billion in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which funds the PBS and NPR networks. It passed the House, and needs to pass the Senate soon. "I think it passes," Schneider said after witnessing the Senate…

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…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

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.

Despite the growing trend of left-wing extremist violence during the first six months of the Trump administration (including the DC Jewish Museum shooting, the firebombing of a GOP building in Albuquerque, and the anti-deportation riots Los Angeles), talking heads on TV news remained reluctant to acknowledge the existence of the American far left. However, those same journalists had no qualms…

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…

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…

On Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UC-San Diego professor and self-styled extremism expert Barbara Walter. Despite support for left-wing violence from burning Tesla and Waymo cars by anti-Musk and anti-ICE rioters, despite the anti-Semitic killings and fire-bombings, the focus was almost…

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.

Earlier, we noted former CNN White House screamer Jim Acosta's appearance on Tuesday at a panel at the Center for American Progress. But it's still worth isolating Acosta's remarks on how there should be a big cash infusion into PBS and NPR, to make them "too big to fail."

Google’s Gemini drastically changed its answer on radical content targeting children once it became clear that taxpayer money was on the line.
