On Friday's PBS NewsHour, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC weekend host Jonathan Capehart talked up Donald Trump's half-billion dollar civil fine and said "I would love to see the A.G., the New York attorney general" seize Trump Tower," because "it would be the most tangible sign" for Trump "that you have been held accountable."

By now everyone has heard that Donald Trump threatened U.S. democracy or something by predicting a “bloodbath” if he didn’t win election in November. (Trump didn’t actually do that, as we know: His “bloodbath” comment, delivered at a campaign rally in Ohio, referred to tariffs on Chinese electric cars potentially being made in Mexico, as a brief perusal of what Trump actually said at the rally…

The networks who offered hundreds of hours of TV coverage to the Pelosi-Picked Panel on January 6 mostly skipped the latest Hunter Biden scandal hearing. Even the most prestigious "news" papers skipped the hearing. 

On the PBS NewsHour Tuesday evening, White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez gushed over the Biden 2024 campaign’s social media push on TikTok and YouTube, a desperate attempt to get hip with the kids, in “How social media influencers are playing a role in the presidential election.” But despite the headline, the segment was almost completely dedicated to gushing over Biden, with pro-…

In 2020 and 2024 respectively, GOP President Donald Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden each faced three longshot primary challengers, but the media coverage of these campaigns was vastly different, a NewsBusters study has found.

PBS again went to bat for the “LGBTQ-Plus” warriors on the PBS News Weekend Sunday, lamenting a slight dip in America’s gushing over the alphabet folks in “U.S. support for LGBTQ+ rights is declining after decades of support. Here’s why.” In the show introduction, anchor John Yang fretted over “declining support for LGBTQ-plus rights, reversing years of increasing support,”…

PBS News Weekend ran yet another propagandistic take on how the lack of access to abortions and treatment of related pregnancy complications was the fault of Catholic hospitals: “Investigation finds policies at Catholic-run hospitals restrict reproductive health care.” From the introduction by weekend anchor John Yang: Tonight on PBS News Weekend, with hundreds of thousands…

CNN host Jim Sciutto worked in Beijing for Obama's ambassador to China, so it's only natural he's helping his old colleague Joe Biden. Now you can turn to the PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic for bitter former Trump administration employees to denounce him as a brainless Hitler fan whose second term would be devastating to America.

Thursday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured another way for the taxpayer-supported news outlet to section off certain subjects from balanced discussion -- a “Race Matters” segment on the alleged struggles black women face in academia, had no dissenting voices, just the host and the guest agonizing over the purported problem. The story was driven by the suicide of a college…

On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart hailed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s “incredible speech” where he trashed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace and called for new Israeli elections. His counterpart, New York Times columnist David Brooks, tried to have it both ways, claiming he agreed…

On the PBS NewsHour on Thursday night, they turned to Danielle Prieur, a reporter for NPR station WMFE in Orlando. She couldn’t make up her mind on what had happened: The law was both “gutted” and “very much in effect” at the same time.

PBS NewsHour co-anchor Amna Nawaz escaped her D.C.-based news studio and ran to the Arizona-Mexico border, filing from both sides of the border in three reports over three evenings. It makes sense for reporters to be on the scene of a flashpoint of a big election-year issue. Yet American electoral politics were completely absent from the three-day conversation, even as the…

The Heritage Foundation has been issuing its doorstop-length “Mandate for Leadership” books since Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980. But this is the first one that has inflamed The New York Times into painting it as a manual for autocracy. On the March 8 Washington Week With The Atlantic on PBS, moderator Jeffrey “Obama Is Awesome” Goldberg cued up Times book…

The Monday evening edition of the PBS NewsHour featured a spicier-than-usual “Politics Monday” segment with NPR’s Tamara Keith and Amy Cook of the Cook Political Report, both seeing a more favorable issue landscape for President Joe Biden. But it was co-anchor Geoff Bennett that sucked up to Biden the most.
