The taxpayer-defunded PBS News Hour Wednesday retained its hostility (as documented in a Media Research Center study) against the Trump administration protecting Jewish students and faculty from the Hamasniks marauding elite liberal campuses in protest of Israel’s defensive war in Gaza. Wesleyan University president Michael Roth made another News Hour appearance ridiculously claiming that efforts…
Christiane Amanpour, the eponymous host of PBS's Amanpour & Co., fretted Thursday over “the state of freedom of speech in America” under President Trump with reporter David Enrich, on public media once again to discuss his recent anti-Trump book Murder The Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful.
Enrich has become a popular figure on…
While the broadcast networks mostly ignored it, Wednesday’s PBS News Hour devoted a five-and-a-half-minute segment on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s White House briefing on details of the declassification of materials related to “Russiagate,” the investigation of then-candidate Donald Trump’s alleged “collusion” with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Of course, the News Hour…
On Monday evening, hours before the U.S. Senate passed 51-48 President Trump’s rescission proposal to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which would end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR, guest host William Brangham hosted Tom Abbott, general manager of KFSK Radio in Petersburg, Alaska, a low-population state that has received high amounts of attention from journalists…
Just in time for the existential vote on PBS’s future as a public entity comes the latest entry in the network's leftish investigative documentary series Frontline, which aired Tuesday evening. The online blurb to “Trump’s Power and the Rule of Law,” says the hour and a half report “goes inside the high-stakes showdown between President Donald Trump and the courts over presidential power.…
One more reason to defund PBS: Their reporters and researchers have no respect or understanding of libertarianism or libertarian voices (except on issues when libertarian ideology happens to match their own).
Just see how PBS has covered Argentina’s president Javier Milei, whose radical reforms since taking office in December 2023 have already born fruit, as inflation, running rampant when…
Friday night’s PBS News Hour tribute to former presidential adviser and former News Hour “conservative voice” David Gergen, who died July 10 at the age of 83, demonstrates how mild, center-left political personas have long been the only flavor of “conservativism” that taxpayer-funded PBS can tolerate. (And if the descriptions of Gergen reminds you of another journalist playing the “conservative”…
After interviewing one left-wing hero on Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Friday’s edition of the PBS show Amanpour & Co. dug up another, Mahmoud Khalil, who led a particularly extreme anti-Israel protest group at Columbia University and was made a leftist hero after spending months in ICE custody for, according to the Trump administration, leading activities “aligned with Hamas,” or as…
Thursday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which appears on taxpayer-funded PBS after an alternate version on CNN International, veered even further left than usual with a glowing interview of Mr. Socialist himself, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Host Christiane Amanpour’s set-up for the interview, which launched the show, left no mistaking where she stood on Trump’s big bill: On the hard left.
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour show intro set the tone on an upcoming segment on California finally taking action to stop intrusive and unsightly and dangerous homeless encampments infesting his liberal state, with co-host Amna Nawaz talking of “California`s controversial crackdown on homeless encampments” before a clip of a UCLA scholar saying “criminalizing homelessness” will just make…
