PBS Twists Democratic Shoving, Discrimination Into Trump REVENGE
On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett twisted a legitimate arrest of a Democratic congresswoman for pushing and shoving federal agents into a Trump revenge tour against his “perceived political adversaries.” As if a victim of Democratic lawfare and two assassination attempts doesn’t have actual enemies?
NPR Devotes Time to Tapper, Thompson: GOP 'Very Happy With Your Book'
While PBS can't even breathe the names "Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson" on the News Hour, NPR gave their book extensive time. First, there was 11 minutes with the two authors on Monday's All Things Considered. Then Tapper was interviewed for the hour on Tuesday on Fresh Air with Terry Gross. The host said "Republicans, I think, are very happy with your book," and "…
PBS Fights Tooth and Nail for $1B Americorps Spending, Laments Debt
More than any other news network, the PBS News Hour has devoted the first few months of the second Trump administration focusing on the sad stories of Trump administration budget reductions, finding sympathetic victims to more effectively personalize the trauma and harm supposedly done. Then it turns around and runs a story about Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating due to the…
Column: PBS, NPR, and the 'Unfounded' Charge of Bidens Hiding Cancer
You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn’t like a story angle. They’ll cry “no evidence,” and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence. It’s their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden’s laptop.
PBS Whitewashes Radical MOVE Nuts, Is Outclassed by Hard-Left Magazine
This week marks the 40th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical black group MOVE in an incendiary assault that killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed a residential block. PBS News Weekend on Saturday marked the anniversary with a dose of radical chic, omitting unflattering details about the bizarre urban enclave MOVE.
Brooks Falsely Claims Trump's Trip Undid '100 Years' of Foreign Policy
There are undoubtedly parts of any Donald Trump presidency that are unique to him, but there are also parts that are continuous with other presidents, and one problem the media has is that they freak out over both. New York Times columnist David Brooks did precisely that on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he gave a factually-challenged retort to Trump’s speech in the Saudi capital…
MSNBC: Defunding Public Broadcasting Is An Assault on Free Speech
The cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe welcomed The Age of Grievance author Frank Bruni to their Thursday show to discuss his book that argues that the far-left and the far-right share several common traits, including their desire to portray themselves as the main victims in society. Another common trait Bruni has assigned to both sides is an opposition to free speech, although one…
NPR Host Admits Show Censored Coverage of Common Sense COVID Proposal
Well, here’s a surprise: NPR’s “On Point” podcast, hosted by Meghna Chakrabarti and transmitting out of NPR member station WBUR in Boston, featured, on its May 5 show, an interview with author David Zweig highly critical of the hysterical and harmful reaction by the liberal “public health” establishment to the COVID pandemic. What's more, Chakrabarti herself revealed that an NPR higher-up cut…
PBS On Souter: 'We Need That Model' To Stand Up To Trump
Not even the death of a former Supreme Court justice can stop PBS News Hour from freaking out about President Donald Trump setting up some sort of dictatorship. On Friday, former Trump impeachment witness and David Souter law clerk Noah Feldman joined the show to remember his former boss and while he never explicitly mentioned Trump, it was clear who he was referring to when he…
PBS: Pope 'In Line With The Gospel,' But Not 'Right-Wing Politics'
The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour joyfully welcomed the election of Pope Leo XIV on Friday as they tried to claim him as one of their own as all hailed him as the anti-Trump figure the country needs, but all also avoided any parts of Leo that might make them uncomfortable.
NPR Frets Over Francis' LGBTQ Legacy: Will Church Be ‘Hateful' Toward
National Public Radio is in Rome for the just-concluded papal conclave, which elected American Robert Prevost, who will be known as Pope Leo XIV. Before the white smoke appeared, All Things Considered host Scott Detrow interviewed LGBTQ-friendly Fr. James Martin for the occasion, Detrow even led his interview with it, the online transcript bearing the title "Will the next pope…
Column: PBS, the Pelosi Broadcasting Service
Last week, PBS and San Francisco PBS station KQED hosted a “Reframe Festival,” and PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a scandalously sappy interview with Nancy Pelosi. Nearly every question Bennett teed up for Pelosi requested the “Democratic counterargument” to Trump, and no questions about forcing out Joe Biden.
PBS: Protecting Jewish Students Equals 'Chilling of Speech on Campus'
The PBS News Hour ended Tuesday evening’s show to a discussion of the “chilling effect” of Trump’s executive actions on free speech on campus, based on the pro-Hamas agitators occupying campus quads and sometimes vandalizing campus buildings and attacking Jewish students, a segment slanted heavily toward the pro-Palestinian side. No surprise there, given that a June 2024 Media…
New MSNBC Show: Did Trump Defund PBS Because He Thinks Elmo Is Black?
Tuesday saw the second-ever installment of MSNBC’s The Weeknight, featuring Alicia Menendez, former Kamala Harris spokeswoman Symone Sanders-Townsend, and former RNC chairman and current liberal talking points repeater Michael Steele. The trio of Joy Reid replacements did their best to continue her legacy by wondering if President Trump decided to defund PBS because he thinks Elmo is…
