On PBS, Steve Hayes Taps Brakes on Lefty Hysteria On Comey Indictment

GUESS Which Network Celebrated the 'Black Liberation' Cop Killer?
The New York Times reported on the death of Assata Shakur, but remembered her now as a "Convicted Revolutionary."

NPR's 'Fresh Air' Compares Kimmel Suspension to McCarthyism
NPR’s Fresh Air lived down to its reputation as a Trump-hating leftist bubble on Wednesday as they discussed their hero Jimmy Kimmel.

Column: Beware 'Public Media' Advocating for Violent Antifa Radicals

BS at PBS: 'Conservative Pundit....Matthew Dowd Was Fired' From MSNBC
The assassination of Charlie Kirk, conservative activist and debater and founder of Turning Point USA, unleashed loads of objectionable coverage from the legacy press, some appalling, some ridiculous, some ignorant, like this this take on a disgusting comment by Matthew Dowd on MSNBC, by anchor Amna Nawaz on the September 15 PBS News Hour: "Conservative pundit and former Bush staffer…

Nets Gave Nearly 2x Coverage to Pre-Election Jobs Vs. Jobs Revision
Remember that blowout September 2024 jobs report the broadcast networks slobbered over in October just before the presidential election?

Pathetic PBS: ‘Critics Are Alarmed About the Influence of PragerU…’
Monday’s PBS News Hour alerted its viewers to a new right-wing threat: Education videos? “Why critics are alarmed about the influence of PragerU’s educational videos," the online heading read. “Alarmed” is a strong word, a promise that journalist Stephanie Sy’s actual report failed to fulfill, Noteworthy that it’s PragerU’s right-leaning world-view expressed in the educational videos…

Atlantic Show On PBS TRASHES Kirk As Racist Symbol of 'Toxic Culture'
No one should think PBS is an oasis of civility. On Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, the liberal gang typically rained fire on conservatives in general and the late Charlie Kirk in particular.
