PBS Roundtable: Just How 'Authoritarian' Is Trump? Let's Ask Jon Karl
Jonathan Karl is chief Washington correspondent for ABC News and author of Tired of Winning, Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party. It’s his third expose of Trump’s one-term presidency, and he even admitted to writing this one as a warning to voters.

STUDY: 'Washington Week' Media Roundtable on PBS Hates Republicans
Last August, The Atlantic magazine took over the long-running Friday night journalists' roundtable Washington Week. Since then, a Media Research Center study reveals a dramatic tilt to the Left. Republicans were analyzed more than twice as much as Democrats and the commentary was 90 percent negative. Republicans were branded as "extreme" 11 times, and Democrats never were. …

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC weekend host Jonathan Capehart talked up Donald Trump's half-billion dollar civil fine and said "I would love to see the A.G., the New York attorney general" seize Trump Tower," because "it would be the most tangible sign" for Trump "that you have been held accountable."

PBS Blows ‘Bloodbath’:‘Latest Example of Trump Using Violent Rhetoric'
By now everyone has heard that Donald Trump threatened U.S. democracy or something by predicting a “bloodbath” if he didn’t win election in November. (Trump didn’t actually do that, as we know: His “bloodbath” comment, delivered at a campaign rally in Ohio, referred to tariffs on Chinese electric cars potentially being made in Mexico, as a brief perusal of what Trump actually said at the rally…
PBS Fangirls for Biden TikTok Tactic:'Unvarnished, Relatable, Genuine'
On the PBS NewsHour Tuesday evening, White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez gushed over the Biden 2024 campaign’s social media push on TikTok and YouTube, a desperate attempt to get hip with the kids, in “How social media influencers are playing a role in the presidential election.” But despite the headline, the segment was almost completely dedicated to gushing over Biden, with pro-…
PBS Panics Over Dip in LGBTQ Support As 'Queers' 'Assert Their Rights'
PBS again went to bat for the “LGBTQ-Plus” warriors on the PBS News Weekend Sunday, lamenting a slight dip in America’s gushing over the alphabet folks in “U.S. support for LGBTQ+ rights is declining after decades of support. Here’s why.” In the show introduction, anchor John Yang fretted over “declining support for LGBTQ-plus rights, reversing years of increasing support,”…
NPR Owns the Pro-Lifers: Suck It, Abortions in America Are UP!
The Supreme Court’s repeal of the Roe v. Wade decision in 2022 was greeted as a calamity by people who champion the right to abortions, which certainly includes the national media. But now National Public Radio found some happy news: the number of abortions in America is up!
PBS Peddles ‘Pregnant People’ Propaganda Attacking Catholic Hospitals
PBS News Weekend ran yet another propagandistic take on how the lack of access to abortions and treatment of related pregnancy complications was the fault of Catholic hospitals: “Investigation finds policies at Catholic-run hospitals restrict reproductive health care.” From the introduction by weekend anchor John Yang: Tonight on PBS News Weekend, with hundreds of thousands…
PBS: Crackdown on DEI's 'Chilling Effect’ on Black Female Academics
Thursday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured another way for the taxpayer-supported news outlet to section off certain subjects from balanced discussion -- a “Race Matters” segment on the alleged struggles black women face in academia, had no dissenting voices, just the host and the guest agonizing over the purported problem. The story was driven by the suicide of a college…
NPR on Media: 'Can You Believe in Democracy Without Being Pro-Biden?'
Former NPR anchor David Greene performed a very pompous rhetorical dance on the latest podcast Left Right and Center out of Santa Monica NPR station KCRW. Greene is supposedly the “Center,” but he’s a typical leftist, as you can see. He proclaimed "I, as a journalist, believe in democracy," and asked "Can you believe in democracy without being pro-Biden?"
Capehart Hails Schumer's 'Incredible Speech' Trashing Netanyahu
On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart hailed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s “incredible speech” where he trashed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace and called for new Israeli elections.

NPR Reporter Says DeSantis Law's 'Gutted' AND 'Very Much In Effect'
On the PBS NewsHour on Thursday night, they turned to Danielle Prieur, a reporter for NPR station WMFE in Orlando. She couldn’t make up her mind on what had happened: The law was both “gutted” and “very much in effect” at the same time.
PBS Heads to Border for Immigration, But Skips Another B-Word (Biden)
PBS NewsHour co-anchor Amna Nawaz escaped her D.C.-based news studio and ran to the Arizona-Mexico border, filing from both sides of the border in three reports over three evenings. It makes sense for reporters to be on the scene of a flashpoint of a big election-year issue. Yet American electoral politics were completely absent from the three-day conversation, even as the…
Column: PBS and The New York Times Scowl at the Conservative 'Mandate'
The Heritage Foundation has been issuing its doorstop-length “Mandate for Leadership” books since Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980. But this is the first one that has inflamed The New York Times into painting it as a manual for autocracy. On the March 8 Washington Week With The Atlantic on PBS, moderator Jeffrey “Obama Is Awesome” Goldberg cued up Times book…
