David Brooks Defends PBS: "Who's More Straight Down The Line Than We Are?"

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

“”Who’s More Straight Down The Line Than We Are?””

Way out on a limb here. But I’m gonna say “almost everyone” except the Socialist Worker.

Pop your head out of that bubble David. Good grief.

David Brooks is one of the most obnoxious know-it-all narcissists I’ve ever met in my life. A true low life who thinks his perfect!
