Rupert Rant: NPR’s Folkenflik Rips ‘Corrosive…Right-Wing’ Fox on PBS

For PBS NewsHour’s regular weekly recap on Friday with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, the news that the national debt surpassed $33 trillion was deemed so unimportant that it was not mentioned.

Column: 'Public Broadcasting' Bored Silly by Republican Hearings
Attorney General Merrick Garland offered a “fiery defense” in a “grueling hearing” of a House Judiciary Committee “stocked with far-right stalwarts,” as The New York Times described it.
