“PBS NewsHour” senior correspondent Judy Woodruff issued an apology Wednesday after her comments about former President Trump’s role in Gaza cease-fire talks sparked criticism.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the prime minister of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because … it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” Woodruff said while broadcasting from the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

In a post on social platform X, Woodruff said Wednesday she wanted to clarify her comments.
“As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the Israeli Prime Minister,” Woodruff wrote. “In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn’t seen later reporting that both sides denied it.”

Axios reported last week that Trump and Netanyahu spoke about a hostage and cease-fire deal, but it later reported that Netanyahu’s office denied the conversation.
Reuters reported similar information, citing Axios. The stories did not report that Trump urged Netanyahu to not take a deal.

When President Trump begins his second term, PBS (and NPR) should be stripped of any taxpayer funding.

Long overdue

“she added her own twist to it by saying what Trump’s agenda and motive was without any basis in fact whatsoever”

It’s all about the sound bites.

They know that 100% of Democrats and at least 50% of “independents” are too stupid to research anything beyond a 30 second sound bite that they hear on TV, etc.

“He also said that KIAs buried at Normandy were “suckers and losers” according to the mystery four-star-general who alone heard him say it. He also said that neo-Nazis are fine people, and that there are “black jobs” (that illegal invaders are stealing).

Lie is the only language that the leftards speak, and Kamala does so ineptly.”

And in every single case the media only release a 5 to 10 second sound bite and carefully frame the “story” around said sound bite to paint him as “racist”, “insensitive”, etc.

The 77-year-old Woodruff should apologize for the amount of botox she appears to have used recently.
