WILD! CNN Guest: Trump Leading Us to ‘American Reich’ Like 1933 Berlin
On Friday’s Amanpour & Co. substitute host Bianna Golodryga opened with one of the show’s kookiest anti-Trump guests yet (and there's been some stiff competition there) “Doomsday Scenario” newsletter author Garrett Graff. Graff certainly brought in the accusations of "fascism" and “authoritarianism” linked to Trump’s takeover of the Smithsonian, ICE raids, and the National Guard…

Conservatism-Basher Faults NYT for ‘Mostly Peaceful' Riot Coverage
Six minutes into the newest episode of PBS’s weekly public affairs show Firing Line came a surprising admission from guest Sam Tanenhaus, whose 1,000-page authorized biography of conservative icon William F. Buckley has been published after a long gestation period. Buckley, who died in 2008, famously founded and hosted Firing Line between 1966 and 1999. The program was…

PBS Guest Blames GOP, American Gun Culture For School Shootings
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr pinch-hit for MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart on Friday’s PBS News Hour and, during the discussion on the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis, blamed the GOP and its embrace of gun culture for mass shootings in America. New York Times columnist David Brooks wasn’t much better. While he refrained from that…

PBS LEAPS on Lefty Boycott: Target Is 'Reeling,' a 'Growing Backlash'
Friday’s PBS News Hour unleashed a strangely energetic fusillade against the retail behemoth Target for supposedly bowing to Donald Trump and discreetly rolling back its so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) initiatives, hosting the pastor leading the left-wing boycott and parroting his talking points. The segment is particularly jarring given the hostile fashion…

Capehart Gushes Over Newsom's Social Media Trump Impressions
Over the past several days, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has started posting on his social media accounts in a way intended to mimic President Trump, and on Friday’s PBS News Hour, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart was all for it.

PBS Distorts Trump Smithsonian Crusade, Hosts Prof to Rant on Jim Crow
Don’t question tax-funded museum wokery: The last segment of Wednesday’s PBS News Hour presented leftist historian Peniel Joseph to jump on a social media post by President Trump claiming the Smithsonian Institution had gone overboard dwelling on American slavery. PBS is the latest network rankled by Trump’s insistence that the Smithsonian museums emphasize America’s greatness and not…

WashPost, NY Times Promote Lefty Donors Trying To Keep PBS, NPR Afloat
When Congress passed President Trump's rescission bill defunding PBS and NPR, there were many eulogies from liberals in the media. Meanwhile, conservatives insisted that if liberals want more liberal media, they should pay for it themselves. According to Monday reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post, they are doing just that.

PBS 'News' or Democrat Hacks? Platforming Marc Elias Talking Points
Friday’s PBS News Hour picked the most partisan voice imaginable to make its knee-jerk anti-Trump case against the president’s executive order to prevent crime in D.C.: Marc Elias, a partisan Democrat lawyer and MSNBC personality who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, spreading conspiracy theories about Trump being in collusion with Russia. Co-host Geoff Bennett opened the…

PBS Sees 'Racially Tinged Hypocrisy' in Trump's D.C. Anti-Crime Blitz
President Trump’s use of emergency powers to federalize the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard to America’s disgracefully crime-ridden capital city was greeted with racially charged animus by the (for the moment) taxpayer-funded pundits on PBS’s Washington Week in Review on Friday evening. Show moderator and Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg brought up what he “a…

Brooks Claims Trump Ordered 'Mustard Gas' Attack 'On Our Democracy'
New York Times columnist David Brooks may have officially lost it. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Brooks reached back over 100 years into the time machine to pull out an analogy that says what President Trump and Texas are doing on redistricting is the equivalent of the German use of mustard gas in World War I.

PBS's Double Standards: Hateful Loomer vs. Gaza’s ‘Mister Rogers'
The PBS News Hour on Wednesday unwittingly showed off ideological double standards in three separate segments: a hostile profile of controversial Republican activist Laura Loomer, a gushfest with controversial pro-Palestinian activist and kid-vid host “Ms. Rachel,” and a celebration of a kinder, gentler form of racial segregation in an arts community in Maine for “Black and brown…

PBS Host Laughs at Murder in DC Metro Station, Decries Crime Crackdown
Proving why defunding PBS was a great thing for America, on Wednesday, Firing Line host Margaret Hoover appeared on CNN’s The Lead and laughed after hearing conservative commentator Scott Jennings recount watching a man get murdered right in front of him in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station. Hoover went on to decry President Trump’s effort to crackdown on the out-of-control…
