PBS Columnist (!): 'Alarmism Over Trump Is Dangerous For Democracy'
October 25th, 2017 12:03 PM
Pass the smelling salts. Last week, PBS, the public broadcasting behemoth, actually published a column by a clearly left-leaning Brookings Institute Senior Fellow which was mostly backed by reason and an understanding of the nation's constitutional framework. Shadi Hamid, who is no fan of the President, warned the left and never-Trumpers that their constant "alarmism" over the actions and…

PBS Liberal on Trump: 'Any Jackass Can Kick Down a Barn'
October 14th, 2017 6:30 PM
PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff recently boasted her show rose above "a false sense of combativeness."

The Vietnam War Revisited
September 26th, 2017 6:50 PM
"The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain." -- Sen. George McGovern (D-SD) Filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick have performed a vital public service in making their documentary "The Vietnam War" for PBS.

September 17th, 2017 9:13 PM
Since Donald Trump began his run for President in June 2015, parts of the dominant liberal media have repeatedly parroted the incorrect claim that, in 1989, Trump ran a newspaper ad in which he urged the execution of a group of young black and Hispanic teens who ended up eventually being proven "innocent" in spite of confessing to the infamous rape and beating of a Central Park jogger that…

In a pre-recorded interview aired on Friday's PBS NewsHour, PBS host Judy Woodruff asked guest Hillary Clinton if she believes President Donald Trump is "racist," and then did not challenge her when she claimed that Trump had "accepted the support of David Duke," and that he "has not condemned the neo-Nazis and the self-proclaimed white supremacists."

Schlapp Schools PBS: Trump Taking on Media, GOP Is Why He Was Elected
August 24th, 2017 4:05 PM
This week journalists and networks have been in a tizzy after Trump railed against them during rallies in Arizona this week.
