On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered a paltry 13 seconds to the story. Blink, and you might miss it. PBS did 58 seconds, while CBS and NBC offered about two minutes.…
On PBS, Brooks Says Election Laws Are a 'Horrific Look' for the GOP
On Friday's PBS NewsHour, pseudoconservative panelist David Brooks guessed the new election laws being passed won't do much to tamp down voting, that they're a "Potemkin set of laws," but they're a "horrific look" for Republicans given America's history on civil rights.

PBS's Woodruff Asks Boehner If GOP 'Demonizing' Pelosi Is 'Sexist'

WashPost Boss Cracks Us Up: We're Not 'Attached' to the Democrats!
Retiring Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron did a round of atta-boy interviews with liberal media outlets. “A legend stepping down but not stepping away,” gushed Brian Stelter on Sunday’s Reliable Sources.

PBS Asks Stelter If He'd Work At Fox? Only If It's Hour of FACTS!
At the end of another softball interview on public broadcasting, PBS host Judy Woodruff unexpectedly asked CNN host Brian Stelter if he'd ever work at Fox News. Stelter ducked, but said "if anybody at Fox could peel off an hour where it's all about fact-checking, all about being as accurate as possible, then there should be room for that." Hilarious.

On Thursday night, PBS anchor Judy Woodruff hammered top Trump aide Mark Meadows with hardballs, that the Republicans are mercilessly exaggerating Biden as some sort of socialist....as if liberal journalists don't exaggerate Donald Trump into a lunatic extremist and racist who's a danger to democracy. Last week, Biden's deputy campaign manager was pitched softball questions.
