Tinfoil Hat Capehart: LA Response Part of a Plan To Suspend Elections
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour that he knows the actual reason for President Trump’s response to rioting in Los Angeles and for Saturday’s Army parade in Washington. According to him, it is all part of a scheme that will eventually allow Trump to cancel elections.
PBS Turns to Left to Explain Trump's 'Alarming' L.A. Troop Deployment
Thursday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour turned to leftist group the Brennan Center for Justice and a liberal mayor as their experts to criticize President Trump’s use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles and other cities to quell violence at protests against ICE’s arrest of illegal immigrants.
NewsBusters Podcast: Defunding PBS/NPR Is Not a Cow Town's Nightmare
NewsBusters is taking a victory lap for the House vote to claw back funding for PBS and NPR. But The Washington Post went to my neck of Wisconsin and suggested this is bad because "other radio signals are staticky and internet service can be patchy." They'd be "poorer" without the "independent option" of NPR. That's the NPR PR.
GOP Vote to Defund CPB Skipped by ABC, NBC, NY Times, and WashPost
While conservatives at NewsBusters and elsewhere celebrate a major win as the House passed a rescission package that would claw back $1.1 billion in federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the liberal media didn’t greet that as a big deal at all.
Column: Endangered NPR Never Stops Ripping Conservatives
So the House Republicans voted to end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR. NPR CEO Katherine Maher has repeatedly claimed, in the face of avalanches of evidence, that she has never witnessed any bias at NPR. That’s beyond ridiculous. You can find it, day after day, hour on the hour. This week’s Los Angeles rioting provided plenty of exhibits.
Cabrera Hints PBS Needed Because Family Didn't Have Cable in the 80s
MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera grew up in the 80s, and the media landscape has changed a lot since then, but on her Thursday show, she implied her family’s inability to pay for cable as a child means Congress should not approve President Trump’s rescission package that seeks to defund PBS and NPR.
PBS Finds Mostly 'Non-Violent,' 'Festival-like' Atmosphere in L.A.
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting. Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on…
NPR CEO Claims Federal Funding Needed For Safe Drinking Water
NPR CEO Katherine Maher recently traveled to London for the city’s SXSW festival because, apparently, she thinks London is the place to be when she needs to convince American lawmakers not to rescind her federal funding. While in London, Maher sat down for an interview with CNN International’s Max Foster that aired on his Monday installment of What We Know, where she insisted that NPR…
The B-S IN PBS: Defund Propaganda Puppets NOW!
Who needs honesty, when the B-S in PBS stands for taxpayer-subsidized "objectivity," obviously!
Most Biased PBS Reporter Tries to Transform Trump Into an Anti-Semite
PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, filed a wide-ranging story Monday about some of the more controversial figures in the orbit of Donald Trump’s administration, yet also spread the ridiculous notion that Trump himself is an anti-Semite (if so, he’s doing a very bad job of it). Her sole guest was Jacob Ware, co-author of God, Guns,…
Taxpayer-Funded 'Public Radio' Station Posts 'Resistance Calendar'
Just how leftist can taxpayer-funded “public radio” be? Take a look at KGNU Radio in the blue city of Boulder, Colorado. In the same week that Boulder witnessed a fire-bombing attack on Jewish protests calling for the release of hostages in Gaza, KGNU posted a “Resistance Calendar” listing a pile of local leftist activism opportunities!
PBS Defense Fails: 'If Viewers Love PBS So Much, Let Them Pay for It'
A new paper defending PBS is headlined "An island of trust: public broadcasting in the United States," which was featured in Current, a sort of trade publication for public media: “Study shows Americans trust PBS precisely because it’s publicly funded.” The left-leaning Harvard-affiliated Nieman Journalism Lab quickly reprinted it, claiming "It’s essential…
Ex-NPR Editor Uri Berliner Calls ‘BS’ on NPR’s Awful Jewish Coverage
The Thursday episode of the “Ask a Jew” podcast hosted Uri Berliner, former senior business editor at NPR, who was suspended and later resigned from the outlet for his damning critique of the insular liberal bias of taxpayer funded NPR. Hosts Yael Bar-tur and Chaya Leah Sufrin asked Berliner about how NPR covered Israel, and the resulting discussion was withering. Berliner characterized one…
Hypocrites: PBS Criticizes Federal Arts Funding Cuts, Then Bashes Debt
When it’s not bashing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for furthering the national debt, the PBS News Hour works hard to poison the well against any reductions in federal spending. Thursday’s edition featured 19 minutes of coverage of the bill emphasizing trillions of dollars being added to the national debt. Yet the night before, PBS dug up yet another sob story about relatively small…
