This week marks the 40th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical black group MOVE in an incendiary assault that killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed a residential block. PBS News Weekend on Saturday marked the anniversary with a dose of radical chic, omitting unflattering details about the bizarre urban enclave MOVE.

On Sunday's Meet the Press, PBS News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz tried to repeat the Democrat party line that "to this day" they maintain they never saw Debate Babbling Biden in private. Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch shamed her for sticking to the spin against reality. "That's crazy. That is crazy for them to say."

At this point, it’s merely procedural that our trifecta of terrorist pitying TV networks parades around every societal miscreant who faces the bare minimum of consequences for their savagery as if they’ve survived the depths of hell.

There are undoubtedly parts of any Donald Trump presidency that are unique to him, but there are also parts that are continuous with other presidents, and one problem the media has is that they freak out over both. New York Times columnist David Brooks did precisely that on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he gave a factually-challenged retort to Trump’s speech in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, where…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

Friday’s edition of the PBS News Hour contained a frustrating interview with the left’s deportation hero of the day, conducted by the paper’s most slanted reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez. After she and co-anchor Geoff Bennett talking about the release of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, whose student visa was revoked apparently because she co-wrote an anti-Israel op-ed, the…

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

Not even the death of a former Supreme Court justice can stop PBS News Hour from freaking out about President Donald Trump setting up some sort of dictatorship. On Friday, former Trump impeachment witness and David Souter law clerk Noah Feldman joined the show to remember his former boss and while he never explicitly mentioned Trump, it was clear who he was referring to when he declared of…

The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour joyfully welcomed the election of Pope Leo XIV on Friday as they tried to claim him as one of their own as all hailed him as the anti-Trump figure the country needs, but all also avoided any parts of Leo that might make them uncomfortable.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

Last week, PBS and San Francisco PBS station KQED hosted a “Reframe Festival,” and PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a scandalously sappy interview with Nancy Pelosi. Nearly every question Bennett teed up for Pelosi requested the “Democratic counterargument” to Trump, and no questions about forcing out Joe Biden.

Morning Joe devoted a segment on Thursday to supporting taxpayer funding of PBS, with a series of softball questions for PBS CEO Paula Kerger.

The PBS News Hour ended Tuesday evening’s show to a discussion of the “chilling effect” of Trump’s executive actions on free speech on campus, based on the pro-Hamas agitators occupying campus quads and sometimes vandalizing campus buildings and attacking Jewish students, a segment slanted heavily toward the pro-Palestinian side. No surprise there, given that a June 2024 Media Research Center…

Tuesday saw the second-ever installment of MSNBC’s The Weeknight, featuring Alicia Menendez, former Kamala Harris spokeswoman Symone Sanders-Townsend, and former RNC chairman and current liberal talking points repeater Michael Steele. The trio of Joy Reid replacements did their best to continue her legacy by wondering if President Trump decided to defund PBS because he thinks Elmo is black.…
