FLASHBACK: Lib Media Hated Hur’s ‘Elderly...Poor Memory’ Biden Report
In February, journalists vilified then-Special Counsel Robert Hur for honestly reporting that the decision not to pursue charges against Biden for willfully mishandling classified documents was because a jury would likely find Biden a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
Column: PBS Stuffs News Hour with 'Torrent of Lies' Trump Trash Talk
Taxpayer-funded PBS is inaccurately branded as the fairest, most unemotional TV news outlet. Anyone looking at PBS right after Biden’s disastrous debate would have realized they were more favorable to Biden than anyone else. They steered clear of the dominant panic among Democrats. They sounded more like the DNC than MSNBC. Friday's News Hour was fiercely anti-Trump.
PolitiFact's 100 Percent Anti-Trump Post-Debate TILT Underlined by PBS
As we noted PBS tried hardest to support the Biden spin after their disastrous debate, on Friday night, the PBS News Hour strongly stuck to the Biden narrative that Trump lost the debate by unleashing a flood of lies. PBS turned to the badly disguised Democrats at PolitiFact for analysis, whose post-debate analysis couldn't find anything Trump said was true. They loaded 16 claims that were all…
PBS 'Washington Week' Memory-Holes '23 Praise of Biden’s Mental Acuity
The latest Friday edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, airing on taxpayer-funded PBS, passed around anecdotes of the various levels of panic from Democratic politicians and strategists, after President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. But one exchange in particular, between host and Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg and Atlantic writer Mark Leibovich, was striking.
PBS: ‘Visibly Aging Man’ vs. ‘Authoritarian-Leaning Convicted Felon'
Even after his disastrously doddering debate performance Thursday night, President Joe Biden still has his fans on public television. Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs originally on CNN International, stitched together various thin defenses of the Biden presidency and condemnations of Donald Trump, while host Christiane Amanpour’s anti-Trump partisanship was even more ham-…
After Disastrous Debate, PBS Reporter Parrots Team Biden's Happy Talk
Taxpayer-supported PBS kept its News Hour crew on deck for Thursday night’s first (and only?) Trump-Biden debate of the 2024 presidential election cycle, airing on CNN and simulcast on PBS. While other liberal networks were loaded with panic, PBS's White House reporter stuck to repeating the desperate campaign talking points.
'As Hillary Clinton Said,' PBS Anchor Cheerleads For Abortion Activism
Part of the American tax-paying experience is knowing that eponymous Amanpour and Company host Christiane Amanpour will use her PBS show to promote Hillary Clinton and abortion. On Monday, she did both, concluding her show by reciting, “As Hillary Clinton famously once said, ‘human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.’”
PBS Brings on Phony 'Nonpartisan' to Debunk Greg Gutfeld on 2024 Vote
The PBS News Hour went after Donald Trump and Fox host Greg Gutfeld for talking boldly about the 2024 election. They categorized it as "right-wing disinformation" and brought on a "nonpartisan" expert (ahem: leftist) who predicted there would be civil war in 2023 over elections. Oooops.
PBS Fawns Over ‘I Am the Science’ Fauci, Ignores Covid Controversies
In a two-part interview airing Tuesday and Wednesday, the PBS News Hour interviewed controversial COVID responder Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has a new autobiography out. But Fauci was fawned over by tax-funded PBS, couching mild criticism in general terms and steering away from truly important issues about COVID. Tuesday…
Portentous PBS Plugs NBC Reporter's Book on Scary TX Anti-CRT Movement
Monday’s PBS News Hour handed over a news segment to an ostensible ratings rival, NBC News and its reporter/podcaster Mike Hixenbaugh, who has a new book out with the portentous title They Came for the Schools -- One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms. Hixenbaugh and his onscreen NBC reporting counterpart Antonia Hylton have collaborated on stories…
For Juneteenth, PBS Spreads Fake News About GOP Education Policy
PBS’s Christiane Amanpour likes to say that journalists should be “truthful, not neutral,” but a common theme of Amanpour and Company is that her commitment to the truth only goes one way. For Wednesday’s Juneteenth show, Amanpour claimed that Donald Trump’s presidency and the Supreme Court represent “hurdles” to racial equality, while her guest, Equal Justice Initiative Executive Director…
PBS Hypes Niche Lefty Issue: Can Societal Stigma Lead to LGBTQ Cancer?
The lead story on Saturday’s PBS News Weekend was based on an American Cancer Society study on how bias and stigma can make LGBTQ people get cancer. At least that’s what Yang seemed to be suggesting to his Cancer Society-representing guest. The bizarre, pseudo-scientific angle is more evidence that the tax-funded ostensibly objective news network of PBS has become a niche market for left-wing…
‘Divested’ From Reality: PBS Cheers Hamas-Supporting Campus Protests
How did taxpayer-funded media cover the anti-Jewish, pro-Hamas protests that dominated college campuses this spring? A new Media Research Center study analyzed the words used by Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) reporters, guests, and talking heads over 36 days of protest coverage and found PBS’s flagship news program NewsHour/News Weekend to be overwhelmingly on the side of the protesters,…
PBS 'Washington Week' Panel Rushes to Defend DOJ on 'Weaponization'
On Friday's Washington Week with the Atlantic on PBS, News Hour reporter Lisa Desjardins brought up Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland (whom the House Republicans voted to hold in contempt) and the earth-shattering news that he’d penned a Washington Post op-ed calling Republican criticism of the Biden Justice Department “baseless, personal, and dangerous.”
