The PBS News Hour on Wednesday, having evidently learned nothing from the election results, returned to its long-standing left-wing alphabet obsession, even adding some more letters, in a story about Trump “rolling back transgender rights,” and interviewed a journalist from a publication that identities as a number. But this isn’t PBS’s old children’s staple Sesame Street, where many folks of a…
As President-elect Donald Trump moves to shake up the federal bureaucracy, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez pushed a new Red Scare on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour.
First came a series of clips, introduced by anchor Amna Nawaz, of several disgruntled bureaucrats and union members working for now in the federal government. It comes as no shock that they’re all opposed to Trump…
PBS’s weekly political roundtable Washington Week with the Atlantic gathered for the second time since Donald Trump’s reelection reeling from his proposed cabinet picks. Particularly put out was veteran liberal New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller who used aggressively antagonistic language to describe two picks.
Moderator Jeffrey Goldberg set the slanted stage up with this poison-pill…
Friday’s PBS News Hour didn’t take Donald Trump’s re-election well, continuing to blame sexism for the failure of Americans to elect those incredibly impressive candidates Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, picking instead the sexist ogre Donald Trump (who just appointed the first female chief of staff in presidential history).

But her pro-Harris hype started before Election Day, with happy talk about Harris’s prospects in most of the swing states, none of which panned out for her campaign.
The day before on the PBS News Hour, Barron-Lopez…
Around the witching hour, when Trump’s victory wasn’t quite official but definitely a reality, the normally more buttoned-up crew covering the election for PBS let its fear and anger fly. Before signing off from Donald Trump’s victory party at 2:58 a.m., reporter William Brangham went on the petulant rant he’d apparently been holding in for several hours of coverage:
William Brangham: I can only…
Nawaz and Geoff Bennett. Laura Barron-Lopez reported from Howard University in D.C, Harris’ “victory party” locale, while William Brangham reported from Trump’s actual victory party in West Palm Beach. The anchors checked in with the on-scene reporters roughly every hour, and one could see the glumness descending in stages at Harris HQ -- and in Barron-Lopez herself (who had a coughing fit at one…
