The \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">piece highlights statements made<\/a> by PBS analyst Jonathan Capehart, who expresses his eagerness to emphasize\u200c Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/police-arrest-charlie-sheens-female-neighbor-for-assaulting-actor-in-his-home\/\" title=\"Charlie Sheen&#039;s female neighbor arrested for assaulting him in his home by the police\">past legal troubles<\/a>, notably\u200d referring to him as a &#8220;convicted felon&#8221; following\u200c a recent sentencing. Capehart&#8217;s comments, made during PBS&#8217;s NewsHour, suggest a broader expectation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/study-msm-coverage-heavily-slanted-in-bidens-favor\/\" title=\"Study: MSM coverage heavily slanted in Biden\u2019s favor\">biased reporting<\/a> against Trump, with Capehart encouraging \u200breporters \u2063to consistently refer to his criminal conviction in\u2064 their stories. The \u200barticle reflects on the theme of\u200d partisan media responses surrounding\u200b Trump&#8217;s\u200c presidency and the ongoing\u200d narrative shaped by liberal commentators.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Liberal Media Scream: PBS delights that Trump will forever be a &lsquo;convicted felon&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1932242\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>This week&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3278153\/liberal-media-scream-msnbc-the-sole-joementia-denier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Liberal Media Scream<\/a> is already anticipating the coming media hate that will greet President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> when he enters office for a second time a week from today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>No surprise, but biased liberal PBS &ldquo;analyst&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/1580967\/this-is-the-editorial-that-caused-jonathan-capehart-to-resign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jonathan Capehart<\/a> isn&rsquo;t just readying his anti-Trump talk for Inauguration Day.
