On Sunday, Newsbusters<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

In the last Congress, PBS and NPR enthusiastically broadcast every moment of live coverage requested by Nancy Pelosi’s “Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.” But in 2023, they won’t offer live coverage of Republican-led events. In fact, they often ignore them altogether.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday morning, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer held a dramatic press conference to release new bank records showing how President Biden’s family was awarded millions in foreign payments while he was Vice President. Not only did PBS and NPR skip live coverage, they skipped all coverage — including “Week in Review” packages on PBS NewsHour<\/em> and NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday,<\/em> as well as Washington Week<\/em> on PBS.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the NewsHour<\/em> on Wednesday night, co-host Geoff Bennett even conducted an eight-minute interview with House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries, and there was no question on the Biden financial scandals. Instead, questions like this:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BENNETT: This is your first time on the NewsHour in your capacity as House Democratic leader. And I want to take the occasion to ask you, one, how you view your role, and, two, what Democrats hope to achieve even while in the minority right now<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Back in March,<\/strong><\/a> we noted PBS and NPR audaciously ignored when the Senate Judiciary Committee held its first hearing of the new Congress with Attorney General Merrick Garland, despite a dramatic grilling by Senate Republicans…or because of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But on May 2, the same Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing into the ethics of federal judges, especially Supreme Court Justice Thomas. On that night, the PBS NewsHour <\/em>devoted almost nine minutes to that event, summarized under the loaded transcript headline \u201cSenate probes Supreme Court ethics after questionable financial dealings by justices<\/a>.\u201d PBS at least mentioned liberal former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, briefly referencing her outburst against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 as an example of lack of impartiality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They touted a recent PBS\/NPR\/Marist poll, finding more than six in 10 Americans said they have little to no confidence in the court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping Americans in the dark about the Biden family scandals is a contribution to President Biden’s campaign for re-election. While we probably can’t change the lack of reporting on the various scandals by the mainstream media, we can encourage people to find news sources that tell the whole truth.<\/p>\n
