DAVID BROOKS, NEW YORK TIMES: At its core, the Trump administration is based on one them, which is, they think progressive elites have destroyed the country, we need to take progressive elites down.
And that's whether they're in museums and sciences and universities, whatever. And so, in some sense, they have some case to be made that the elites have become a little more progressive. But as they go after CPB, I'm reminded of the call I got 23 years ago from Jim Lehrer offering me this job.
And I'm sitting there, of course, in a little league dugout. And Jim said: "You're going to be on the show on Fridays. We want you out and do a lot of reporting. You got to bring something to the game. This is about journalism."
And I would say, if you think the PBS is biased, compared to who? Name one news organization in America — and I shouldn't be defending us. I get paid by PBS

Wasn't he the guy who was impressed by Obama's crease on his pants.
You cannot reason with the unreasonable.
I’m sure Hitler and Stalin both thought they were being fair too.
straight down the Democrat party line.
Pravda? LOL
“TRUTH IS A DISTRACTION”
Brooks is a pathetic loser. He gets paid to pretend to be a Conservative, and he does a bad job of it.
I remember years ago I actually listened to PBS. They would have some Leftwing nutcase on, and also Brooks representing the Rightwing. The two of them would debate the issues of the day (roughly 2008 - 2016).The Leftwing guy was supportive of Obama about 90% of the time, but would, on rare occasions disagree with some policy pushed by Obama. Not Brooks. No way. He seemed to support Obama 100% of the time and occasionally got ticked off at the Leftwing guy for not understanding how brilliant Obama was.
hahahah.. PBS is not the worst offender, but saying PBS across the board is straight down the line particularly in their news and various documentary, historical shows, is absolutely not true.
Go watch their 2024 election night coverage, and tell me how you believe what you watch is down the middle.
This guy is a complete TOOL!!!!
Showing EXACTLY who he is!!!!!!!!
My oldest. My friends oldest. Don’t ask them to prove their argument/point. That’s racis’ or hateful or fascist or something.
David Brooks...a mouth diarrhea milkshake
LOL! You hired Christiane Amanpour. That alone tells everybody all they need to know about how “down the line” you are.
PBS didn’t exist before 1969. It is based in Arlington Virginia (the broadcasting Mecca of America /s).
It’s nothing but propaganda.
PBS’ history and science documentaries are even more biased than their news. They push PC Revisionism in history (ie Ken Burns) and they push Gaia Worship in their science programs.
Back before I retired I enjoyed listening to NPR on my commute for laughs. When I was in my 20’s they sounded so old and wise in their delivery, but as I aged they just sounded stupid.
Brooks was obviously AWOL when honesty genes were handed out.
We are a long way from the McNeil/Lehrer News Hour.
Now that show is anchored by a Chinese girl, a Paki girl, and a leftist shaved head black guy. All east coast types. PBS news is straight up hostile to America.
The Babylon Bee.
I used to listen to NPR, as well. Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, and a few others were shows I always enjoyed. However, the news grew to become intolerable. I would laugh out loud at the audacious lies they said about Bush Jr. and other Republicans. It was offensive.
Their truth is what Soros or Hamas says.
Why do we pay for that?
That was my news show, back when both were on it.
They rarely had a true conservative on for debates, but they had the best of the news, at that time.
The McLaughlin Group was always fun. To The Contrary was also good.
