The subject line to the promo email for Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co. on PBS marked the one riot the left didn’t get behind: “Fascism Expert Jason Stanley on the 5th Anniversary of Jan. 6 Capitol Attack.” Stanley is a favored guest on PBS, NPR and the left-wing MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) which gives a hint where PBS News lies on the ideological spectrum.

As the start of New York City mayor-in waiting Zohran Mamdani’s term looms, there are plenty of stories to cover, with concerns about the viability of his left-wing policy promises and his propensity to surround himself with anti-semites, and his own related controversies. Sunday evening’s segment on PBS wasn’t one of them. Attaining a level of journalistic integrity only previously reached by…

President Trump is overturning and disrespecting traditions pell-mell, an unparalleled rampage through the great American institutions. Or so says the PBS News Hour. On Tuesday, reporter William Brangham served as guest anchor to cover Trump adding his name to the Kennedy Center, and brought on an insufficiently identified left-wing presidential historian to flay the president.

On Sunday PBS acted like the good liberal news channel it is by whitewashing the obvious Islamic roots behind the massacre of Jews at an outdoor Hannukah party at Bondi Beach in Australia anti-Semitism to instead discuss wholly unrelated incidents in America, like the decade-old Charlottesville, ignoring that even more virulent anti-Semitism was on display in every march in Australia and even in…

On Friday’s Amanpour & Co., alleged feminist and host Christiane Amanpour condemned a UK women’s group fighting for the rights of women to be safe in their own country from migrants who come from Islamic cultures where women are often not treated with respect. The “cheerful branding” of the Pink Ladies concealed a “much harsher message.” Amanpour glided right past the problems of migrant rape…

Friday night’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS made a full-throated call for reparations for slavery in America, with host Christiane Amanpour interviewing Presidential Visions of Transitional Justice author and law school professor Ruti Teitel and Aria Florant CEO of Liberation Ventures, which advocates for slavery reparations in the United States. The ideologically harmonious trio even…

PBS’s Amanpour & Co., which is simulcast on CNN International, hosted guest Demetre Daskalakis on Monday’s edition and repped his appearance in its daily show email, subject line: “‘People Will Die:’ Fmr. CDC Official Warns Against HIV/AIDS Cuts.” Daskalakis resigned as director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases in August.  A deeper dive into the…

Friday’s PBS News Hour segment by Minnesota-based special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro marked the first time the show acknowledged the incredible scandal of taxpayer fraud in that state, involving the theft of up to a billion dollars intended to feed children during the COVID crisis. The segment ran over seven minutes – but only 35% of the time was devoted to the fraud itself. Most of the…
