  • Sad decline of a once great news program

    Nick Schiffin and Miles O'Brien are good. The rest of this "news" show just gets worse and worse. Boring interviews with celebrities and book authors and bits of clickbaity"news" that sounds like it came straight from social media posts. Politics Monday and Politics Friday are really awful. Just chitchat about stuff like a podcast. That is not news. Please deliver more *actual news* No more book promotions and artsy puff pieces about tiny irrelevant nonprofits.

  • So disappointing

    PBS Newshour was a place I’d go for truth and clear professional journalism. Not any more. They parrot regime propaganda and ignore the genocide in Gaza while feting Israel. I’ve stopped donating to PBS and my local NPR station. A sad fall for a this show.

    Always trustworthy. Hang in there. Trump will be gone soon and we can undo all his BB including defunding truth telling media.

  • Gary What’s His Name

    Gary should never be on PBS News Hour again. He is irrational. His arguments have no basis in fact… and they are insulting to the finest tradition of journalism that PBS represents.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The alarming decline of bird populations and why humans should care
Q: What can individuals do to help, and how can regions pair with policy to make meaningful change?
Individuals can create native plant gardens to support insect populations, reduce outdoor cat exposure, and advocate for bird-friendly planning; governments can support public-private partnerships and international agreements to mitigate threats across borders.
The alarming decline of bird populations and why humans should care
Q: What did your global analysis reveal about the scale of decline, and what are the main drivers?
The global study shows more than half of migratory bird species are in decline, driven primarily by habitat loss, climate change effects, and direct mortality from man-made structures and outdoor cats.
The alarming decline of bird populations and why humans should care
Q: Before we get into your current study and your past studies, can you remind us why we should care about birds?
Birds are essential to ecosystems, providing services like seed dispersal and pest control, and they also symbolize the health of broader environmental systems, so protecting them helps safeguard human well‑being.

Q: How feasible is it that both Hamas and Israel actually follow through on all these commitments?
Experts say disarmament by Hamas and withdrawal by Israel face a long, uncertain timetable with risk of derailment, due to trust gaps, political pressure, and the need for credible enforcement mechanisms.
Why uterine fibroids remain misunderstood despite affecting most women
Q: What are the main treatment options, and when is surgery considered?
Treatment ranges from monitoring to medications and imaging-guided interventions like embolization or ablation; surgery, such as myomectomy or hysterectomy, is considered when symptoms are debilitating or other treatments aren't effective, with the goal of preserving uterus when possible.
