Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting.
Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on Tuesday,…
PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, filed a wide-ranging story Monday about some of the more controversial figures in the orbit of Donald Trump’s administration, yet also spread the ridiculous notion that Trump himself is an anti-Semite (if so, he’s doing a very bad job of it).
Her sole guest was Jacob Ware, described by Barron-Lopez as a “research…
The Thursday episode of the “Ask a Jew” podcast hosted Uri Berliner, former senior business editor at NPR, who was suspended and later resigned from the outlet for his damning critique of the insular liberal bias of taxpayer funded NPR. Hosts Yael Bar tur and Chaya Leah Sufrin asked Berliner about how NPR covered Israel, and the resulting discussion was withering.
Berliner…
When it’s not bashing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for furthering the national debt, the PBS News Hour works hard to poison the well against any reductions in federal spending. Both hypocritical facets were on display in recent episodes.
Thursday’s edition featured 19 minutes of coverage of the bill as it’s being taken up by the Senate, emphasizing politically convenient concerns…
President Trump’s moves against Harvard University for discrimination have spread horror among the liberal elite, including those on publicly funded television. Christiane Amanpour, host of Amanpour & Co., a version of which airs on PBS after running on CNN International, talked to Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, coauthor of How Democracies Die. (Hint: He’s talking about Trump.)
A full 21…
Katherine Maher, president and chief executive of National Public Radio, continued her sympathy (and lawsuit) tour to save NPR from the Trump administration’s executive order, with a pit stop at NPR’s publicly funded cohort, PBS’s News Hour program. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett interviewed Maher on Tuesday’s edition, where he explained that NPR’s lawsuit, joined by three public radio stations in…
Washington Week with The Atlantic host (and Atlantic editor) Jeffrey Goldberg devoted a full episode of his latest show, normally a political panel, solely to interviewing journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson about their book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.
Tapper also brought up a couple of names of people who brought Biden’s…
On her Next Question podcast, Katie Couric, the former anchor of NBC's Today and CBS Evening News, mostly commiserated with PBS chief executive Paula Kerger, whose network is under fire for is undeniable liberal bias that’s caused an existential crisis under the Trump administration which is aiming to cut its taxpayer funding. Yet Kerger refused to even consider the bias…
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.”
Geoff Bennett: Now to a development in the Trump DOJ's case against Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver of New Jersey, who's been charged with two counts…
More than any other news network, the PBS News Hour has focused on the sad stories of proposed and actual Trump administration budget reductions, finding sympathetic victims to more effectively personalize the issues. Then they turn around and run a story about Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating due to the growing U.S. debt – taking both sides so both reflect badly on conservative moves…
