The report highlights that out of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >214 total guest appearances<\/a>, 173 leaned liberal while only 41 leaned conservative. Moreover, a notable number of the Republican guests featured as the inauguration of President Joe Biden have expressed anti-Trump sentiments. This perceived bias may explain why some Republicans are advocating for the defunding of PBS and National Public Radio (NPR). The analysis criticizes PBS&#8217;s commitment to balance and objectivity, suggesting its lineup is dominated by liberal voices, which contradicts its mandate as a tax-funded network. in response to these concerns, former President Trump signed an executive order to ban federal funding for perceived liberal networks, leading to potential legal challenges from these organizations.  <\/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\">PBS prefers Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans, 4-to-1<\/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_2112210\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>If the taxpayer-subsidized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/columnists\/3400781\/case-for-defunding-npr-pbs-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Public Broadcasting Service<\/a> wants to know what<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s behind the ire of Republicans and the MAGA movement, it only has to look at its daily lineup of guests.<\/p>\n<p>That would show the liberal outlet&rsquo;s <em>NewsHour<\/em> show favors liberals by about 4-to-1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3423581\/trump-campaign-team-recognized-as-master-class\/\">Trump campaign team recognized as &lsquo;master class&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3422780\/liberal-media-scream-msnbc-dean-obeidallah-calls-trump-dictator-to-bow-before\/\">Liberal Media Scream: MSNBC calls Trump &lsquo;dictator&rsquo; to bow before<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3422436\/trump-approval-rating-america-on-right-track-rasmussen\/\">History made: 50% say America is on the &lsquo;right track&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>And of the Republicans it features in its news, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/beltway-confidential\/3380938\/npr-pbs-dont-deserve-taxpayer-funding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">many are critics<\/a> of President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>According to a new analysis of guests on <em>NewsHour<\/em> by the watchdog <a href=\"https:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/clay-waters\/2025\/05\/27\/study-be-my-leftist-guest-again-bias-still-reigns-supreme-pbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Media Research Center<\/a>, &ldquo;liberal-Democratic leaning guests outnumbered conservative-Republican leaning guests by 173-41, a ratio of 4.2-to-1.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Graphic courtesy of Media Research Center)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That rate is higher than when former President Joe Biden was in office.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the MRC analysis said, nearly half of the Republican officials giving their views on the show since Inauguration Day were anti-Trump.
