The word “controversial” is often a word used to signal to viewers that someone is politically radioactive. So naturally, the liberal minds in “public” broadcasting must use it in a tilted way. From November 2024 through April 20, 2025, Trump and his team were labeled "controversial" 45 times. Biden drew the term once -- for blocking Nippon Steel's acquistion of U.S. Steel -- a position he…

CNN might be funnier than the late night comedy shows, albeit unintentionally. During CNN Newsroom’s Saturday pregame show ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, media analyst Sara Fischer claimed that freedom of the press has become increasingly politicized. Her first example was to claim that funding PBS and NPR is an “investment in the free press,” but that has now become…

On Friday’s PBS News Hour, White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, the program’s most biased journalist, did her best to defend the indefensible: Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested and charged with obstruction after allegedly protecting a migrant from ICE agents, by sending him out a restricted jury door to prevent him being arrested. He appeared before Dugan to face three…

Friday’s PBS News Hour celebrated liberal political cartoonist Ann Telnaes, who resigned in a huff from the Washington Post when a cartoon mocking Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was rejected, part of PBS’s “Art in Action” coverage, “exploring the intersection of art and democracy.”

A week after calling for a “civic uprising,” New York Times columnist and PBS nominal conservative David Brooks found his first heroine in arrested Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, who is alleged to have used her courtroom to help an illegal immigrant, who was in front of her for domestic abuse, escape arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Friday’s PBS News Hour,…

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour fretted over the “wrongful deportation” of the media’s favorite Maryland resident, illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, back to El Salvador, and suggested that it's unconstitutional not to give every illegal immigrant a trial before deportation.

President Trump's backing of a rescission of more than $1 billion in advance funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is freaking out the leftist media. On Saturday night, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter smeared the effort as "right out of the autocratic playbook." The Left will be the heroes if "there are pro-democracy coalitions that are stronger than the wannabe autocrat."  

Wikipedia handles the leftist propagandists at National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) with kid gloves, all while it bars editors from citing nearly every right-leaning media source. 

Taxpayer-funded PBS marked Earth Day with typical liberal scare-mongering on its news programs, hosting a Washington Post “environmental health” journalist who sounded more like an environmental health activist on a quest for so-called environmental justice, followed by a radical environmentalist, with no dissenting guests and few if any challenging questions posed. First up on Sunday…

A coalition of nearly two dozen conservative organizations is asking legislators to implement a three-pronged effort to compel PBS, NPR and their cash cow, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), to submit to formal, independent audits and release the results.

Disdain for President Donald Trump translates into a refusal to accept reality if doing it gives Trump a political victory. Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, the continuing assertion that Trump, about Charlottesville, said some variation of, “There were good and bad white nationalists and neo-Nazis on both sides”; the denial of the Hunter Biden laptop; that Trump “mocked” a…

If there were still any questions that PBS is a liberal network in need of defunding, Friday’s News Hour removed any remaining doubts. In a wild segment, host William Brangham preferred the words of the “nonpartisan” League of Women Voters over an anti-Trump law professor who stated the country is not in a constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist and…

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour covered the Trump administration’s efforts to cut taxpayer funding for PBS and National Public Radio. PBS didn’t present its critics beyond generalities, while anchor Amna Nawaz and reporter William Brangham took the opportunity to lobby for themselves. Anchor Amna Nawaz: As we have been reporting, the Trump administration wants to cut the federal funds that…

The Wednesday edition of CBS’s The Late Show was defined by host Stephen Colbert giving two odes to liberal budget priorities. First, Colbert insisted that PBS documentaries on transgender people in Ohio bowling leagues are of vital importance before marveling at Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “righteous anger” at President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE.
