The rot runs deep in Washington, D.C. But it’s worse than many thought.
And now we know taxpayer dollars are being funneled for a sinister purpose you won’t believe.
Exposing Media Bias at PBS
A revealing study by the Media Research Center (MRC), released Tuesday, uncovered a stark 93% negative bias against Republicans and the Trump administration on the taxpayer-funded PBS program “Washington Week with The Atlantic” over the past three months.
Despite its claim of delivering “objective” political coverage, the program consistently skewed its narrative, dedicating 83 minutes to discussing Republicans—primarily President Trump and his administration—with 77 minutes of negative commentary and just six minutes positive.
The study, analyzing 13 episodes from April to June 2025, highlights a troubling departure from the balanced reporting PBS is mandated to provide, raising questions about the use of the $445 million in annual taxpayer funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Undermining Trump’s Achievements
The MRC report exposes how even President Trump’s clear successes, like the decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear program, were met with 82% unfavorable coverage on the program.
Trump’s immigration policies, a cornerstone of his administration’s border security advancements, faced unrelenting 100% negative coverage, ignoring significant progress in this area.
Moderator Jeffrey Goldberg set an anti-Trump tone from the start, with introductions like:
“Most presidents wait until they leave the White House to cash in. President Trump takes a different approach. Crypto deals, hotels, golf courses, 747s, everything is on the table.”
The panel, dominated by left-leaning outlets like The New York Times, which sent six reporters, included only one representative from a non-liberal outlet, The Dispatch, who echoed the harsh anti-Trump sentiment, further skewing the discourse.
Failing the Taxpayer Mandate
PBS’s congressional charter demands “strict adherence to objectivity and balance,” yet the MRC study argues this standard is grossly unmet.
Inflammatory remarks from panelists, such as PBS News Hour’s Laura Barron-Lopez claiming the administration “repeatedly emboldened extremists and used hate speech to talk about their political enemies” and that “normalizing the populace to political violence is a trait of authoritarianism,” underscore the program’s bias.
While Republican topics were heavily scrutinized, Democratic coverage was nearly nonexistent, with only 61 seconds outside a May 23 special episode on the Biden campaign exposé “Original Sin,” which detailed the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline.
This imbalance betrays the trust of American taxpayers, who fund PBS regardless of political affiliation, and calls for greater accountability to ensure fair and balanced reporting.
