Washington Week with The Atlantic remains a reliably pro-Democratic political roundtable, but this Friday the show featured a tiny, overdue peek into an under-covered angle of the sordid Jeffrey Epstein saga, which thus far the media has used as a cudgel against President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.

After Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s rebuttal speech to President Trump’s State of the Union address, PBS News Hour’s foreign policy reporter Nick Schifrin nitpicked President Trump’s claim about the carnage in Iran.
Nick Schifrin: ….the president accused Iran of working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States. That's from a defense intelligence assessment. And also the…
On Monday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett used a discussion of President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address to dredge up a hoary piece of liberal media mythology that helped wrongly doom the re-election chances of Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1992. It originated with liberal hack reporter Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times who got an entire front-page story (“…
PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover hosted the elitist media’s favorite historian Jon Meacham, who predictably found parallels between President Donald Trump and House Rep. Joe McCarthy of so-called “Red Scare” infamy, while hailing the late Jesse Jackson.
The slant started in host Margaret Hoover’s introduction, a clip montage featuring “triumphs” of democracy consisting of archive footage…
On Friday’s weekly PBS journalists roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, panel regular Susan Glasser of the New Yorker foisted insults on President Trump for being obliged to appear at the State of the Union after losing on tariffs at the Supreme Court, “I really think that this is a really embarrassing political moment for Donald Trump to be going up to Capitol Hill for the State of the…
Monday’s PBS News Hour virtually skipped over Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s performance at the annual Munich Security Conference to wail over his subsequent trip to endorse “far right prime minister” Viktor Orban of Hungary.

“The Librarians” is a 90-minute PBS documentary from the knee-jerk leftists behind Independent Lens, about a band of persecuted school librarians fighting “book bans” (wrong), “censorship” (wrong), and fascism (wrong and offensive) in Texas and other states.
Director Kim Snyder made it explicit in a recent MS NOW interview talking about the supposed book-banners, who are not motivated…
Bad Bunny academic specialist (yes, it’s a thing) Vanessa Diaz was interviewed on Monday’s PBS News Hour after the Puerto Rican singer’s Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime show to speak reverently of the performer symbolizing Puerto Rican resistance to American colonial might, or something.
