Sarah Varney, special health care correspondent for the PBS News Hour, has been providing pro-abortion reporting ever since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, focusing predominantly on lost opportunities to abort nationwide. In Monday’s News Hour she once again went after the pro-life movement under the online headline “Rise of crisis pregnancy centers…
The Thanksgiving evening edition of the PBS News Hour pondered the crude American tradition of Thanksgiving football watching from an anthropological perspective, with anchor John Yang’s abstract rendering to the game in his introduction followed by liberal sportswriter guest Christine Brennan of USA Today paying backhanded, condescending compliments to America’s most popular…
PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war was slanted, none more than the reporting from Lebanon by PBS’s credulous pro-Palestinian war correspondent Leila Molana-Allen. She returned to Lebanon a year after the ceasefire that ended the official war between Israel and the terrorists of Hezbollah to report for PBS News Weekend Saturday from south Lebanon, where Israel was targeting Hamas and Hezbollah…
Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS was more feistily anti-Trump than usual, with moderator Jeffrey Goldberg leading the panel into various anti-Trump segments, including the president’s fraught relationship with the mainstream press. Goldberg used Trump’s spat with two female reporters in the White House press pool to label Trump, an equal-opportunity insulter, as a sexist, while…
Washington Week with The Atlantic host Jeffrey Goldberg opened Friday’s political roundtable on PBS by setting up a segment on the reckless video issued by Democrats in Congress who had previously served in the military pressuring current military members “to refuse illegal orders” – while leaving the illegal orders supposedly issued by Trump undefined.
It seemed a cowardly way to troll Trump…
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour was blessed with a rare sight: A Catholic bishop as guest. But of course PBS didn’t invite him on to talk about the church’s opposition to abortion (there was no dissent at all in Wednesday’s News Hour story on an underground network of abortion pill providers).
Instead, El Paso bishop Mark Seitz was featured for his opposition to deportation of illegal immigrants under…
PBS omnipresence Ken Burn’s six-part, 12-hour series “The Revolutionary War” launched Sunday evening and will air through November 21. Sympathetic journalists were eager to see parallels of the colonists fight for independence and Trump’s opponents rebelling against an authoritarian leader. Journalists like the New York Times’ James Poniewozik:
Over its 12 hours, “The American…
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour committed some serious bias by omission in Stephane Sy’s report from the campus of UCLA, home to actual Jew exclusion zones during the 2024 wave of pro-Hamas protests that plagued progressive college campuses. This August, UCLA settled with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor over the university failing to protect their civil rights against anti-Semitic campus…
PBS’s newest Frontline documentary, “The Rise of Germany's New Right” concerns the rise of the AfD in Germany (Alternative for Germany) party and it’s supposed links to Nazism and Putin's Russia. Germany’s migrant problem surged after 2015, when former Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the borders to people fleeing the Syrian war.
Over three million refugees and asylum seekers have entered Germany…
The PBS News Hour hailed the new book Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department, co-written by Aaron Davis of the Washington Post and Carol Leonnig, now at MSNBC after 25 years at the Post and co-author of two previous anti-Trump books. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett interviewed the pair on Tuesday’s News Hour. The heading to the online transcript: “New book ‘Injustice’…
