This week marks the 40th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical revolutionary 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.

Friday’s edition of the PBS News Hour contained a frustrating interview with the left’s deportation hero of the day, conducted by the paper’s most slanted reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez.
After she and co-anchor Geoff Bennett talking about the release of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, whose student visa was revoked apparently because she co-wrote an anti-Israel op-ed, the…
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 Research Center…
Perhaps responding to pressure from the Trump Administration threatening federal funding of PBS and NPR over their liberal slant, the PBS News Hour is beginning to pepper its guest list with the occasional conservative. But those guests don’t get the typical soft-soap treatment reserved for liberal activists (and almost never labeled as such) but instead receive a defensive, combative reception…
Public television marked President Trump’s first 100 days in office with a dose of fear and loathing Monday evening, courtesy of the PBS News Hour’s most liberal reporter Laura Barron-Lopez and hostile presidential historian Mark Updegrove.

On Friday’s PBS News Hour, White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, perhaps the network’s most biased journalist, did her best to defend the indefensible: Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested and charged with obstruction of an official on Friday after allegedly protecting a migrant from ICE agents by sending him out a restricted jury door to prevent him being found and arrested (he'd…
Friday’s PBS News Hour celebrated liberal political cartoonist Ann Telnaes, who resigned in a huff from the Washington Post when a cartoon mocking Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was rejected, part of PBS’s “Art in Action” coverage, “exploring the intersection of art and democracy.”
Telnaes has had nasty scraps with Republican subjects of her pen and ink before, like going after the…
Wednesday’s PBS News Hour obsessed over the “wrongful deportation” of the media’s favorite Maryland resident, illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, back to El Salvador, and suggested that its unconstitutional not to give every illegal immigrant a trial before deportation.
Co-anchor Geoff Bennett: Last night, a federal judge in Maryland said the Trump administration is trying to obstruct the…
Taxpayer-funded PBS marked Earth Day with typical liberal scare-mongering on its news programs, hosting a Washington Post “environmental health” journalist who sounded more like an environmental health activist on a quest for so-called environmental justice, followed by a radical environmentalist, with no dissenting guests and few if any challenging questions posed.
First up…
Wednesday’s PBS News Hour covered the Trump administration’s efforts to cut taxpayer funding for PBS and National Public Radio. PBS didn’t present its critics beyond generalities, while anchor Amna Nawaz and reporter William Brangham took the opportunity to lobby for themselves.
Anchor Amna Nawaz: As we have been reporting, the Trump administration wants to cut the federal funds that…
