Liberal Media Scream: PBS delights that Trump will forever be a ‘convicted felon’ – Washington Examiner
The article titled “Liberal Media Scream: PBS delights that Trump will forever be a ‘convicted felon’” discusses the anticipated negative media coverage President Donald Trump will face upon his return too office. The piece highlights statements made by PBS analyst Jonathan Capehart, who expresses his eagerness to emphasize Trump’s past legal troubles, notably referring to him as a “convicted felon” following a recent sentencing. Capehart’s comments, made during PBS’s NewsHour, suggest a broader expectation of biased reporting against Trump, with Capehart encouraging reporters to consistently refer to his criminal conviction in their stories. The article reflects on the theme of partisan media responses surrounding Trump’s presidency and the ongoing narrative shaped by liberal commentators.
Liberal Media Scream: PBS delights that Trump will forever be a ‘convicted felon’
This week’s Liberal Media Scream is already anticipating the coming media hate that will greet President-elect Donald Trump when he enters office for a second time a week from today.
No surprise, but biased liberal PBS “analyst” Jonathan Capehart isn’t just readying his anti-Trump talk for Inauguration Day. He is already looking to pour on the hate in every Trump story.
On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Capehart, who also hosts a poorly-rated MSNBC show, took delight in predicting that after being sentenced last week in a much-mocked legal case, Trump will forever be known as a “convicted felon,” and he wants every reporter to mention that in their stories about Trump.
Cheered the talker, “What’s also great punishment is the sentencing today, where the judge said, you’re going to be president, you’re not going to go to jail, but you’re a convicted felon. And so for the rest of his life, any story written about him will have to mention the fact that he’s a convicted felon — if not on the first reference, definitely by the second reference.”
From Friday’s PBS NewsHour:
GEOFF BENNETT: But after, you know, being convicted of 34 felonies, there are people who look at this case, and they say that Donald Trump walks away with a punishment that is less than what one would receive for a speeding ticket.
JONATHAN CAPEHART: Look, this case, this hush money case, was the case that everybody said was the crappy case of the four. Remember, Donald Trump was indicted four times, and this one was the least important, the shakiest.
And yet it’s the one case where Donald Trump was held accountable, the one case where he was brought to trial before a jury of his peers in his hometown of New York City and was found guilty 34 times. I think that is great punishment.
What’s also great punishment is the sentencing today, where the judge said, you’re going to be president, you’re not going to go to jail, but you’re a convicted felon. And so, for the rest of his life, any story written about him will have to mention the fact that he’s a convicted felon — if not on the first reference, definitely by the second reference.
And that is fitting, that is right, that is just. Do I wish the other three cases had gone to trial and that he had faced accountability on those? Yes, but this will do.

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “Talk about petty immaturity. Capehart’s reaction to the judge’s sentence on Trump bared how much of the press corps’ hostility to Trump was always fueled by personal animosity as much as by disgust with conservative policies. So a smug Capehart gets joy from a court giving him the okay to apply a derogatory label to the incoming president.”
