PBS's Theory on Violence: If GOP Runs Government, Why Must They Kill?

June 22nd, 2025 6:10 AM

On Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UC-San Diego professor and self-styled extremism expert Barbara Walter. Despite support for left-wing violence from burning Tesla and Waymo cars by anti-Musk and anti-ICE rioters, despite the anti-Semitic killings and fire-bombings, the focus was almost…

Capehart Claims GOP is Afraid 'Of Being Human' on Political Rhetoric

June 21st, 2025 9:50 AM

If one were only to watch Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour, they would come away with the impression that “rotten” political rhetoric is mainly a right-wing phenomenon. Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart went so far as to claim Republicans are afraid “of being human” on the matter.

Jim Acosta Wants BIG $$$ Infusion to PBS and NPR, 'Too Big to Fail'

June 20th, 2025 2:27 PM

Earlier, we noted former CNN White House screamer Jim Acosta's appearance on Tuesday at a panel at the Center for American Progress. But it's still worth isolating Acosta's remarks on how there should be a big cash infusion into PBS and NPR, to make them "too big to fail."

Amanpour Allows Iranian Minister to Rewrite History

June 19th, 2025 1:10 PM

PBS’s Christiane Amanpour sat down with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Tuesday to get his perspective on the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, but Amanpour’s usual mantra of being “truthful, not neutral” mostly took a back seat as she never challenged him on the regime’s anti-Semitic, eliminationist rhetoric or his rewriting of Iran-Iraq War history.

June 14th, 2025 9:23 AM

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.

PBS Turns to Left to Explain Trump's 'Alarming' L.A. Troop Deployment

June 14th, 2025 6:16 AM

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

June 13th, 2025 10:35 PM

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

June 13th, 2025 2:09 PM

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

June 13th, 2025 3:45 AM

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

June 12th, 2025 1:43 PM

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.

June 12th, 2025 10:02 AM

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

June 11th, 2025 3:00 PM

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…

Most Biased PBS Reporter Tries to Transform Trump Into an Anti-Semite

June 11th, 2025 9:27 AM

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,…
