PBS, established in 1969, has an outdated reputation for delivering a polite, objective take on the news of the day, exemplified by its flagship evening news program, now called the PBS NewsHour. But a new Media Research Center study deflates that outdated assumption, tracking and labeling every guest that appeared on the NewsHour over a four-month period, November 2022…

Thursday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which appears on PBS, went wild in defense of radical transgenderism, comparing American anti-trans bills to truly insidious legislation in dictatorships. Host Christiane Amanpour set the table with an ignorant international comparison of supposed female/LGBTQ repression, before letting the show guest talk about the "anti-trans hate machine"…

The latest PBS American Masters documentary profiled the face of COVID in America, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades and came into attention during the AIDS crisis, and especially during COVID. The tone is of a tireless St. Fauci bringing hard truths down the mountain to ungrateful conservatives. Yet left-wing…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart obsessively used the words “target” and “targeting” when describing GOP efforts to advance parental rights in education on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, claiming the whole thing is just a cover for going after “trans kids.”

On Monday's PBS NewsHour, the show hyped the latest U.N, report on global warming that makes dire predictions about the climate's future while pushing for dramatic new regulations on carbon dioxide emissions.

PBS celebrated the return of the ancient “October Surprise” election conspiracy theory -- the unsubstantiated rumor that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, led by William Casey, delayed the release of the 52 American hostages in Iran in order to win election over Democrat Jimmy Carter. The original version was advanced by former Carter aide Gary Sick before being discredited…

Over the weekend, PBS continued its bias favoring the Democrat agenda on guns as weekend anchor John Yang devoted a segment to letting a gun control advocate cheer for Michigan to finally pass new gun restrictions, now that the legislature is controlled by Democrats. He also allowed his liberal guest to inaccurately suggest that Illinois residents can legally purchase guns in neighboring…

Tax-funded PBS NewsHour made clear where it stood on “LGBTQ” issues over two separate segments on two consecutive nights. Host Amna Nawaz introduced the Wednesday evening segment faulting the Republican governor of Tennessee for rejecting federal money for “HIV prevention": "In Tennessee, a fight has been brewing over another public health issue, HIV. It comes as several Republican-…

For 20 years, lefties have blasted the press as weak or corrupt because the media did not prevent the Bush administration from launching the war in Iraq. It’s become an enduring myth amongst liberals — and one that an honest review of news coverage would quickly debunk.

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.

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…

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. Lisa Desjardins, the PBS NewsHour’s congressional reporter, who generally plays it fairly straight, definitely took a side in her Wednesday evening coverage of the controversial bill, which was overturned by a heavy…

PBS NewsHour host Amna Nawaz grilled former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is weighing a presidential bid for the Republican nomination, on Friday’s show. After the inevitable Trump-related queries, Nawaz peppered the genial Hutchison about recent supposedly “extreme” legislation from Arkansas about transgender and bathroom issues, while taking her own extreme stance. (This is the…

The liberal broadcast networks love to throw around the term “historic” to praise legislative actions by Democrats. But since Wednesday, the network turned a blind eye to Congressional Republicans and Democrats coming together for the first time in 30 years to slap down a local D.C. law that would go soft on crime by reducing sentences for some violent crimes, including ones for guns. But…
