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…
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…
