WILD! CNN Guest: Trump Leading Us to ‘American Reich’ Like 1933 Berlin
On Friday’s Amanpour & Co. substitute host Bianna Golodryga opened with one of the show’s kookiest anti-Trump guests yet (and there's been some stiff competition there) “Doomsday Scenario” newsletter author Garrett Graff. Graff certainly brought in the accusations of "fascism" and “authoritarianism” linked to Trump’s takeover of the Smithsonian, ICE raids, and the National Guard…
Conservatism-Basher Faults NYT for ‘Mostly Peaceful' Riot Coverage
Six minutes into the newest episode of PBS’s weekly public affairs show Firing Line came a surprising admission from guest Sam Tanenhaus, whose 1,000-page authorized biography of conservative icon William F. Buckley has been published after a long gestation period. Buckley, who died in 2008, famously founded and hosted Firing Line between 1966 and 1999. The program was…
NPR Reporter Admits 'Sob Stories' on Deportations 'All Over the Place'
On Monday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz discussed the latest arrest of the media’s favorite Maryland man, illegal immigrant and alleged gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, mistakenly deported to El Salvador and held in prison there before being ordered returned to the United States. The show’s Monday political discussion with NPR’s Tamara Keith also brought up Trump’s crackdown…
PBS Guest Blames GOP, American Gun Culture For School Shootings
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr pinch-hit for MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart on Friday’s PBS News Hour and, during the discussion on the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis, blamed the GOP and its embrace of gun culture for mass shootings in America. New York Times columnist David Brooks wasn’t much better. While he refrained from that…
NY Times Travels To Remote Alaska To Shame GOP For Defunding NPR
With The Corporation for Public Broadcasting shutting down, The New York Times travelled to the other end of the country to remote regions of Alaska to bring stories of doom and gloom, but some of congressional reporter Megan Mineiro’s Tuesday claims came across as problematic.
PBS LEAPS on Lefty Boycott: Target Is 'Reeling,' a 'Growing Backlash'
Friday’s PBS News Hour unleashed a strangely energetic fusillade against the retail behemoth Target for supposedly bowing to Donald Trump and discreetly rolling back its so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) initiatives, hosting the pastor leading the left-wing boycott and parroting his talking points. The segment is particularly jarring given the hostile fashion…
Capehart Gushes Over Newsom's Social Media Trump Impressions
Over the past several days, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has started posting on his social media accounts in a way intended to mimic President Trump, and on Friday’s PBS News Hour, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart was all for it.
NPR Presents Hannah-Jones: Reviewing Museums for Wokeness Is 'Fascism'
When President Trump proclaimed that our taxpayer-funded museums are too “woke,” it’s obvious that National Public Radio would stick up for “wokeness.” On Thursday’s Morning Edition, NPR turned to Nikole-Hannah Jones, whose “1619 Project” with The New York Times was excoriated by historians (including left-wingers) as misinformation.
PBS Distorts Trump Smithsonian Crusade, Hosts Prof to Rant on Jim Crow
Don’t question tax-funded museum wokery: The last segment of Wednesday’s PBS News Hour presented leftist historian Peniel Joseph to jump on a social media post by President Trump claiming the Smithsonian Institution had gone overboard dwelling on American slavery. PBS is the latest network rankled by Trump’s insistence that the Smithsonian museums emphasize America’s greatness and not…
WashPost, NY Times Promote Lefty Donors Trying To Keep PBS, NPR Afloat
When Congress passed President Trump's rescission bill defunding PBS and NPR, there were many eulogies from liberals in the media. Meanwhile, conservatives insisted that if liberals want more liberal media, they should pay for it themselves. According to Monday reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post, they are doing just that.
PBS 'News' or Democrat Hacks? Platforming Marc Elias Talking Points
Friday’s PBS News Hour picked the most partisan voice imaginable to make its knee-jerk anti-Trump case against the president’s executive order to prevent crime in D.C.: Marc Elias, a partisan Democrat lawyer and MSNBC personality who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, spreading conspiracy theories about Trump being in collusion with Russia. Co-host Geoff Bennett opened the…
PBS Sees 'Racially Tinged Hypocrisy' in Trump's D.C. Anti-Crime Blitz
President Trump’s use of emergency powers to federalize the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard to America’s disgracefully crime-ridden capital city was greeted with racially charged animus by the (for the moment) taxpayer-funded pundits on PBS’s Washington Week in Review on Friday evening. Show moderator and Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg brought up what he “a…
Bitter Much? Defunded NPR Plays Up 'Hundreds' of Anti-Fascists in DC
NPR’s clearly still bitter President Trump stopped their federal funding. Their home page on Sunday morning touts a small group of radical lefties: “Hundreds march to White House to protest Trump's D.C. crackdown.” It's not a large crowd, but it's an anti-Trump crowd. NPR skips over conservative protests like the March for Life. They don't consider that "newsworthy."
Brooks Claims Trump Ordered 'Mustard Gas' Attack 'On Our Democracy'
New York Times columnist David Brooks may have officially lost it. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Brooks reached back over 100 years into the time machine to pull out an analogy that says what President Trump and Texas are doing on redistricting is the equivalent of the German use of mustard gas in World War I.
