The PBS NewsHour is a one hour evening broadcast of official government propaganda by radicals abusing the federal bureaucracy in Washington, D.C..

Among its "national security" "expert" contributors have been deep state subversives John Carlin and Mary McCord (DOJ), Amicus Curiae[1] of corrupt federal judge James Boasberg.[2]

Propaganda

Yamiche Alcindor

Yamiche Alcindor (White House correspondent for the PBS NewsHour and a political contributor to NBC News and MSNBC) is one of those radicals who can't even restrain their ardent agenda under "journalistic," facade.

As she was leaving PBS at the end of 2021, NRO highlighted some of her "interesting" moments:[3]

Yamiche Alcindor[4]

-This summer, Alcindor said the debate around the Biden administration-backed For the People Act — which would have federalized America’s elections systems — was really an argument over  “what is American democracy and who should have access to it?” and “whether or not we want America to be the place that the Founders — flawed as they may have been — the Founders wanted it to be.”

-Alcindor asked National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, “how President Biden plans to convince especially our European allies that former President Trump was an anomaly in some ways, all of the things that he did to in some ways traumatize those leaders —calling into question the need for NATO? What’s the plan there and is there concern that those scars are gonna be deeper than his ability to address them? ”

-At Biden’s first press conference as president in March, Alcindor preceded her question for the president on the border crisis by asserting that “you’ve said over and over again that immigrants shouldn’t come to this country right now. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors.”

-On MSNBC last November, Alcindor said Biden’s burgeoning cabinet, “felt like the Avengers, it felt like we’re being rescued from this craziness that we’ve all lived through for the last four years and now here are the superheroes to come and save us all.”

-Alcindor praised Biden for characterizing Republicans as “trying to bully people into being sick…trying to bully teachers into teaching in unsafe environments,” on Joy Reid’s show in September.

-After Republican Glenn Youngkin won last month’s gubernatorial election in Virginia, Alcindor quizzed Biden on what Democrats should “possibly do differently to avoid similar losses in November, especially since Republicans are now successfully running on culture wars issues and false claims about critical race theory?”

-When White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre briefed the press for the first time in May, Alcindor noted that “she pledged, Karine Jean-Pierre, to be truthful with the press, and that, of course, is a marked difference from Joe Biden’s predecessor, former President Trump,” explaining that “it felt different.”

-In August, as the Biden administration’s plan for withdrawing from Afghanistan blew up in its face, Alcindor insisted that the president was “not running away from the responsibility” for its failure.

-Last September, Alcindor described those who defended Kyle Rittenhouse as “the part of his [Trump’s] base that think that it’s okay for a 17-year-old to shoot people in the street who are unarmed, who are at a protest, who are upset about the way that the federal government is treating African-Americans.”

-Alcindor chided the Biden administration for not backing Congresswoman Maxine Waters and her advice that people become “confrontational” if Derek Chauvin was not convicted of murdering George Floyd, saying “I wonder why the White House isn’t coming to the defense of Rep. Waters given the fact that she is facing an onslaught of attacks by, I would say Republicans, I wonder why the White House isn’t saying, ‘We back what she said about being confrontational.’”

-After Biden took office, Alcindor pushed the administration’s line that on vaccine distribution “what you have is a Biden administration that is, as Vice President Harris said, starting from scratch, and that is really, really hard.” That claim was disputed by even Dr. Anthony Fauci, an outspoken critic of the Trump administration.
  • In Aug 2020, Yamiche was caught flak on Twitter for describing Madison Cawthorn’s rising from his wheelchair at the 2020 Republican National Convention as a “direct rebuke” of protests against police brutality.[5]



  • In Dec 2021, Yamiche pushed that Critical Race Theory and accused Republicans of 'lying' about the divisive ideology.[6]


  • In June 2021, Taxpayer-subsidized PBS showed how it is more DNC than the DNC ...[7]

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the clearest example yet that taxpayer-subsidized PBS is becoming an arm of the Democratic National Committee. Appearing on Meet the Press, activist journalist Yamiche Alcindor echoed the DNC talking points on state-passed voting reforms, ignoring several fact checks that have shown that some, notably Georgia, have adopted more progressive voting changes than President Joe Biden’s home state or uber-liberal Connecticut.

Instead, the new host of PBS’s Washington Week and the White House correspondent for PBS NewsHour declared “an existential crisis in America” and went so far as to say that states are taking votes away from people “if we don’t like the way that you voted.”


She had the audacity in labeling, dismissing honest and genuine questioning regarding troubling record by Ketanji Brown Jackson at hearings in March 2022, as so-called "disrespectful."[8]

Laura Barrón-López

In 2022, Laura Barrón-López succeeded Yamiche Alcindor, who left 'NewsHour' for NBC News.[9]

Laura Barrón-López is a radical liberal, very woke, especially on transgerism. For example, in June 2023[10] a 'segment spotlighted Texas banning gender procedures and hormone treatments for minors in a law that will go into effect on Sept 1. PBS White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López spoke with multiple doctors in opposition to the bill.'

In Dec 2024, Laura Barrón-López with (Islamic) Saher Khan had a piece about "Supreme Court hears arguments in most significant trans rights case to reach bench."[11]

Amna Nawaz / others

  • On Dec 28, 2021, PBS' Simona Foltyn propagated for Iran's Hezbolah terrorists in Iraq - Kata'ib Hezbollah.[12] She refers to them as "resistance." Only later on, in sitting down with US ambassador she rephrases it differently: "the so-ccalled resistance." Adding the important 'so-called' in verbatim. Among other things, in order to humanize these thugs, shows how one of the terrorists [Hassan Ali] she interviewed, prepared food... and calls him a "soldier."[13] Simona tries very hard to give over the group's message that they claim they are supposedly "not" connected to Iran.


  • On June 16, 2023, Amna Nawaz interviewing Miami mayor Francis X. Suarez, upon quoting possible pardoning Trump, (if elected as president), Suarez pointed to Biden's case of classified docunents, Nawaz interrupted him various times, that "these are very different circumstances... it has been made clear," so she claimed . But Suarez: "no, they are not different." After the interruotins ge added "you're entitled to your opinion."[14] Anna Nawaz is Muslim, born to Pakistan parents.


  • July 2023, post Operation Home and Garden, PBS News Hour's Amna Nawaz had "correspondent Leila Molana-Allen failed" with obvious missing context, [15] she propagated for fund raising for the UNRWA, she also did not elaborate on the wide involvement with terrorists by those who act as if they are just "civilians". (A boy, in her propaganda clip, said he doesn't want to show his dace fearing IDF might recognize him). She did use a repeated racist-Arab routine of never-with-context posting graphic photos of injuries, to shock.

Col. Richard Kemp:[16] "The fact that the IDF killed no civilians in Jenin is a marvel. In most operations in urban areas, even those conducted by Western armies, more civilians than fighters are killed."


  • On July 10 2023, they had again Leila Molana-Allen white washing terror, purposely omitting that terror group 'Lions Den' had admitted and taken responsibility for attacking Jewish civilians or the known factor of across that society glorification of jihadism.[17]

- More on PBS News Hour under Amna Nawaz twisted "reporting." Watchdog:[18] "Not only does Molana-Allen shift blame onto Israel (both its seven-month-old government and its settlements) for Palestinian violence which has been on the rise since at least early 2022, she also runs interference on behalf of the Lions’ Den terror organization. In the July 10 Newshour broadcast, “Cycle of violence and economic turmoil pushes young Palestinians to take up arms,” the special correspondent conceals the fact that the Lions’ Den terror organization has itself claimed responsibility for attacks against civilians and soldiers on numerous occasions, misleading."


  • July 19, 2023:[19] After quoting Pramila Jayapal's statement which she retracted, the anchor (Geoff Bennett, Co-Anchor of Amna Nawaz) continues that the House passed a resolution reaffirming US support for Israel, he was careful to add that it was by Republicans but did not say that it overwhelmingly passed and more importantly that the statement clearly uttered against her (and by the duo Tlaib/Omar) slander, specifically clarifying (sadly there was even a need to) that Israel is NOT the R word or that Aparheid (slur). House approves resolution: Israel is not a racist or apartheid state, INN,  19/7/23.

"The US House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning antisemitism and stating that Israel is not a racist state."


(Nick Shifrin formerly at Al Jihadzeera) [20]

(15:30)

Nick Shiftin:

If Israel can kill one Hamas commanders and take out one tunnel and for example know that a hundred civilians, can be killed, would you take that shot?

Mark Regev: Well, first of all we don't know that a hundred civilians were killed. OK let's be clear, I saw some of those pictures and they look like men of military age, and as you know Hamas terrorists don't wear uniform. We have to understand that. It's also has to be said, all the information coming out of Gaza is supplied by the Hamas controlled ministry of health and they're given out Hamas's numbers and they have to be taken with a grain of salt. And I even dare say that even the pictures that are coming out of Gaza are controlled by Hamas and we haven't seen, I must say, I challenge you, of a single Hamas fighter killed by Israeli airstrikes, no, they are only showing you pictures of civilians, are we to assume that we are only killing civilians which is obviously illogical, or is Hamas managing to control the pictures.

Nick Shifrin: But but...the report women and children dying .I... I only have about 30 seconds....I..I...


  • December 27, 2023.

PBS NewsHour segment hosted by Amna Nawaz showed more "Hamas Advocacy". After reciting the (unconfirmed) casualty statistics put out by Hamas, no other side was represented in the show, but instead interviewed former PA spokeswoman Nour Odeh who -infamously- refused to condemn the October 7th attacks, on the contrary. No pushback.[21]


  • July 18, 2024.

On Amna Nawaz's PBS News Hour Stephanie Sy refers to the Temple Mount as "al aqsa mosque revered (sic) by both Muslims and Jews."[22]


  • March 2025.

Amna Nawaz's PBS slammed for coverage of Hezbollah-sympathizing Brown University doctor. It is catching flak for its coverage of the deportation of a Brown University doctor after leaving out key details regarding her links to the terror group Hezbollah. 'Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 47, from Lebanon, was deported from Boston Logan International Airport to Paris on Friday despite having a US visa and a teaching job at the Ivy League college in Rhode Island. Border officials moved to expel Alawieh from the country after they found 'sympathetic photos and videos' of prominent Hezbollah figures in a deleted items folder on her cellphone. The physician, who specializes in kidney transplants in addition to her teaching duties at Brown, also told Customs and Border Protection agents that she attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah while visiting Lebanon. PBS News reported on Tuesday that the doctor was deported 'without explanation,' and it failed to update its coverage to provide additional context about the reasons why. Social media users slammed the outlet for 'conveniently' leaving out those details. 'Wouldn't you expect a real news organization to at least mention the fact that Professor Rasha Alawieh left America to attend the funeral of the leader of a US designated terrorist organization?' one X user asked . 'Seems like an important detail to explain denying her re-entry to America.' 'PBS = liars. Tell the whole truth,' another wrote bluntly. 'There's still time to delete this,' a third added. 'You spelled terrorist sympathizer wrong,' a fourth chimed in. '1000% PBS is omitting critical parts from this story,' yet another declared. 'It's almost like they intentionally omitted that fact to make it seem like a bad decision,' a critic added. Others called the outlet 'pathetic' and accused it of spreading 'propaganda.' 'Without explanation?! She just attended the funeral in support of the leader of HEZBOLLAH!' an X user wrote. 'You're not telling the whole story,' another added. Other gave PBS a new nickname: 'Propaganda Broadcasting System.'[23]

  15. "Terrorism Missing From PBS Jenin Report." HonestReporting, July 9, 2023.

    In PBS News Hour’s report on the recent Israeli counter-terror raid in Jenin, special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen failed to provide her audience with fair and balanced coverage of the operation.

    Instead, Molana-Allen chose to almost completely ignore the threat of Palestinian terrorism that emanates from Jenin while simultaneously misrepresenting the nature of the Israeli operation. 

    Missing Context: Terrorism Absent From PBS Report Nowhere in the seven-minute report is it mentioned that Israel’s raid in Jenin was aimed at disrupting the activities of the terror organizations that call Jenin home and thwarting the threat posed by these terrorists to Israeli civilians and security personnel in both the West Bank and pre-1967 Israel.

    Instead of providing this necessary context, the pitying report largely portrays the residents of Jenin as hapless and innocent victims of Israeli aggression, claiming that the refugee camp is “packed with up to 20,000 civilians at any one time.”

    This simplistic portrayal conveniently leaves out the fact that close to 50% of these 20,000 “civilians” identifies with either Hamas or Islamic Jihad, two internationally recognized Palestinian terror organizations.

    Keeping in line with the report’s refusal to allow for any mention of Palestinian terrorism, a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the success of the operation was carefully edited so that his repeated mention of terrorism was omitted.

    (Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader: Palestinian terror groups have stated that all 12 of the casualties in the IDF’s Jenin operation were in fact combatants (terrorists). I look forward to the international media correcting their ridiculous accusations against Israel “killing children” and “innocent Palestinians” July 6, 2023.

The UN and many governments fall into the PA trap and criticize Israel for killing Palestinian children - even though the PA sent the children to be killed. Were it not for international criticism of Israel, the PA would have no political benefit in killing their own children and Palestinian children’s lives would be saved. [2]

    The title is already biased: "cycle of violence" as of IDF operates when there are no arracks or planned attacks...or as if the terror groups ever need a pretext.

    The propagating Leila Molana-Allen shared in her (10 July 2023) clip [youtube com/watch?v=8uqkNAa8s2Q] that the 'Lion's Den' claimed they only attack soldiers who enter the city... She did mention that the IDF words that they target civilians too.. but she omitted that the very terror group itself admitted and had taken responsibility for targeting civilians outside their city.

    A video published by an armed Palestinian group calling itself “Lion’s Den,” purported to show the moment of the shooting. [3]

No casualties were reported. Large IDF forces began operations to locate the shooters. The "Lion's Den" organization took responsibility.

  18. Smoke & Mirrors: PBS' Two-Part Deflection On Palestinian Violence, CAMERA, July 19, 2023.

    Not only does Molana-Allen shift blame onto Israel (both its seven-month-old government and its settlements) for Palestinian violence which has been on the rise since at least early 2022, she also runs interference on behalf of the Lions’ Den terror organization. In the July 10 Newshour broadcast, “Cycle of violence and economic turmoil pushes young Palestinians to take up arms,” the special correspondent conceals the fact that the Lions’ Den terror organization has itself claimed responsibility for attacks against civilians and soldiers on numerous occasions, misleading... Like her 2020 debacle of coverage deflecting UNRWA’s responsibility for its own failures, Molana-Allen’s twin broadcasts redirect, turning the lens on domestic Israeli matters as the culprit for escalating Palestinian violence while completely overlooking Iran’s role and downplaying Palestinian Authority responsibility...

    Contrary to Molana-Allen’s suggestion, the Lions’ Den has itself claimed responsibility for attacks against civilians and soldiers outside of Nablus on numerous occasions, including the fatal shooting of Israeli soldier Ido Baruch near the Shavei Shomron settlement. 

    Molana-Allen also makes a clumsy pass at implicating Israel in targeting civilians, reporting...

    The increasingly common media canard that terror organizations “regularly claim any young many killed as a fighter” is untrue, and seeks to discount as unreliable the terror organizations’ own identification of their members, thereby falsely casting verified terrorists as innocent civilians.

    Indeed, CAMERA Arabic has documented numerous instances in which Palestinian assailants killed while carrying out attacks were not claimed by one of the terror organizations, including: 20/9/22: “Martyr” Musa Sarsour murdered 84-yo Shulamit Rachel Ovadia in Holon and  committed suicide afterwards.

    22/9/22: “Martyr” Muhammad Abu Jum’a attacked bypassers in the Shilat junction with a knife.

    5/11/22: “Martyr” Mus’ab Nafal threw stones at Israeli civilians near Ramallah.

    15/11/22: “Martyr” Muhammad Suf murdered three Israeli civilians near the Ari’el industial zone.

    11/1/23: “Martyr” Sanad Samamra carried out a stabbing attack in the Havat Yehuda outpost near Hebron.

    24/3/23: “Martyr” Karm Salman tried to enter Kdumim with a loaded gun and attack civilians.

    26/5/23: “Martyr” Alaa’ Qaysiya carried out a stabbing attack in the Tene Omarim settlement south of Hebron.

    Concealed by PBS’ abundant distractions including potential changes to Israeli governance, the (non-existent) building of “more and more” Israeli settlements, and intimations that Israel is in fact targeting non-combatants, lies the salient truth that the vast majority of the Palestinians killed this year in what PBS misleadingly labels “the cycle of violence” have been combatants, while virtually all of the Israeli fatalities have been civilians.

    In the closing July 10 frame highlighting fatalities on both sides.. and in the course of some 15 minutes of reporting over the course of two broadcasts, PBS fails to deliver this most basic fact, deflecting with feigned balance and tortured causality.
