Wednesday’s Amanpour & Co. opened with a long interview with Jelani Cobb, dean of Columbia University's Journalism School and a New Yorker staff writer. Cobb, who leads a school for future journalists, forwarded the wild argument that the five black police officers who killed Tyre Nichols could have been motivated by self-hatred, having internalizing “white supremacy.”…

Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co. on PBS featured Diana Buttu, described by the program as a “political analyst and human rights lawyer,” but whose actual views were extremely hostile to Israel and radically pro-Palestinian -- and in sync with those of host Christiane Amanpour. Amanpour matched her guest by bringing her own long-standing hostility to Israel and concurrent embrace of the…

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, the show promoted another liberal pet cause as a segment was devoted to the efforts of gay activists who are demanding to have their blood accepted for blood transfusions.

As PBS NewsHour special on survivors of gun-related violence squeezed in a liberal agenda. Interviewees claimed the media thinks mass shootings involving whites are a national issue, but when it's blacks, nobody cares: "The media often neglects to illuminate black suffering in similar ways and to provide attention that's given to it almost as if you deserve to be shot, right?"

Wesley Lowery, a former Washington Post reporter who covers police issues and race, appeared on PBS’s news roundup Washington Week Friday to talk about the brutal killing of Tyre Nichols at the hands of police after a traffic stop in Memphis, and both he and the emotional show host Yamiche Alcindor insisted anti-black racism was so widespread in America that it…

On Wednesday evening, PBS NewsHour continued its push for more gun restrictions as reporter John Yang spoke with gun control activist Gloria Pan of the group Moms Rising.

Public broadcasting has once again smeared potential Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, this time as a dangerous spreader of anti-LGBTQ intolerance, on Thursday evening’s Amanpour & Co. show on PBS. Host Christiane Amanpour conducted an 18-minute interview with author Andrew Solomon on the supposed backlash against LGBTQ rights in the United States, with…

NPR sounded like National Democrat Radio again on Friday as Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep interviewed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It was extremely reminiscent of Inskeep's regular puffball interviews with President Obama, as Jeffries is clearly trying to project that same fake-moderation, and Inskeep is trying to help.The NPR headline is the DNC headline: "Hakeem…

On Monday evening, PBS NewsHour co-anchors Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz delivered taxpayer-funded anti-gun activism as the two hosted back-to-back segments that pushed for more gun restrictions.

Firing Line host Margaret Hoover talked to liberal historian, presidential biographer, and current Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham, who made some bizarre modern-day comparisons to President Abraham Lincoln and denied he was a Democrat, in the latest edition of the relaunched public affairs show on PBS. Meacham predictably cited Lincoln, the subject of his latest biography, and found…

My maxim on the media’s use of ideological labeling is “The epic political battles of our time are between the ultraconservatives and the nonpartisans.” Journalists see Republicans as a whole as ultraconservative, or as a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultraconservatives. Exhibit A is NPR's program Fresh Air with Terry Gross, which isn't fresh at all.

On PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable show Washington Week, Nia-Malika Henderson of CNN hit a trifecta of liberal bias, dismissing the import of President Biden’s classified document scandal, taking a crack at the “so-called pro-life movement,” and using a failed Republican candidate from New Mexico to claim that election denialism and violent rhetoric was a…

NPR’s Morning Edition tried to have it both ways Friday, both mocking right-wing concern over banning gas stoves and also suggesting a ban could be in the works after all. The set-up was galling. Why would taking the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission seriously when he said a gas stove ban was on the table require the expertise of NPR’s “conspiracy theory” reporter Lisa…

On Wednesday's PBS NewsHour, the show devoted a segment to allowing a gun control activist to promote federal laws to control how gun owners store firearms in their own homes, picking up on recent cases of small children gaining access to the guns of their parents.
