Sorry for the short excerpt. This is an AP story.
Program should be interesting. "Conservatives" on PBS?
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

A real show or a cruel parody of conservatives?

In as much as Trump may just cut the taxpayer subsidy... is PBS doing this out of fear?

Well, William F Buckley did have a show on PBS as well back in the day. But I’m afraid these so-called conservatives are more in the mold of Nicole Wallace then Mr. Buckley I guess we’ll see or not!

George Will? Bill Kristol? David Brooks? David Frum? Strong advocates of Conservative positions just slightly to the Left of Trotsky? Is that the plan?

Michael Gerson is no way, shape, manner or form a conservative. He’s a never Trumper moron perhaps just a bit less obnoxious than David Brooks.

Lemme guess, hosts will be in the David Brooks “conservative” mold. And, this show will only last as long as Republicans hold Congress and the coast is clear of any possible funding cuts.

Don’t forget PBS’ idea of a conservative round-table would be Bob Corker and Jeff Flake (with maybe Susan Collins in every other week to break the monotony).

...issues like race, gun control and whether conservatism is the right message for the working class.
That last item tells me all I need to know.

Nice try on PBS’ part. The fact of the matter is that genuine conservative programming does not require subsidies. They have a listening, employed audience. Only the liberal mantra needs government funding because no one wants to listen so they can’t attract advertisers.

I would watch it.
I’m annoyed at their use of the tag “conservative” for normal people, and for not using the tag “liberal” for their standard shows.
