Guest Essay: One Woman's Harrowing Tale of Torture Under the Shah Sheds Light on Iran's Dark History

As much as the CEOs of PBS and NPR claim to Congress they are nonpartisan and unbiased, there are many ways to demonstrate they careen to the Left. Shortly after their House hearing, the leftist Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued their "GLAAD Media Awards" and honored PBS and NPR for completely one-sided promotion of the LGBTQ agenda.  PBS NewsHour won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Journalism Segment for its post-election interview with Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), "leading the national conversation about transgender people and politics." PBS was leading the "historic" first trans Member of Congress through a partisan script:  We should note you defeated your Republican opponent by a comfortable margin, but this also happened in the backdrop of a campaign that specifically included a lot of anti-transgender TV ads by the Trump campaign. What does your win say to you about your constituents? ....At the same time, I have to ask you, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance made part of their campaign message and a strong part of their closing message a lot of anti-trans rhetoric, right? They spent millions on ads around these messages. A lot of your congressional colleagues-to-be echoed those messages, share those views. How do you work with them? How does that work? McBride pulled the old card that the right-wingers cause "culture wars," not the GLAAD types: "I think the ones that are particularly consumed with fomenting and manufacturing the culture wars, those folks are professional provocateurs parading as public officials. They are not willing to work with any Democrat, and they can barely work with their own Republican colleagues." There was no counterpoint. PBS was thrilled to get an award for being completely one-sided for the "progressives." The executive producer of News Hour gushed on X: Congratulations @IAmAmnaNawaz @shraipopat @mattloff and team for this tremendous honor from @glaad ! https://t.co/ZEEVt7Ys3L — Sara Just (@sarajust) March 28, 2025 So was Nawaz: Thank you to producers @mattloff & @shraipopat . Thank you to @glaad for the honor. Most of all , thank you to Rep @SarahEMcBride for this interview. https://t.co/GMhHIgtX6e — amna (@IAmAmnaNawaz) March 28, 2025 NPR won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Online Journalism – Video or Multimedia for the film Rainbow Girls: 10 Years of Protection and Prejudice from their "Picture Show" project. It promoted a "Miss Lesbian" beauty pageant in South Africa, offering "a series of portraits of lesbian activists, filmmakers and ordinary women celebrating and advocating for LGBTQ rights in Cape Town." "One of the biggest issues facing LGBTQ people in South Africa is that they struggle to be heard," filmmaker Julia Gunther explained. "We wanted to create a record of their experiences, told in their own words." Gunther oozed on Instagram: "To be recognised in this space—among so many powerful, necessary stories—is truly humbling. ?️‍?"
