PBS Mourns a Month Of 'Ivy League Right-Wing Nihilism'
Nerwsbusters ^ | 15 Feb 2025 | Alex Christy

PBS News Hour host Amna Nawaz, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks came together on Friday to mourn the first month of Donald Trump 2.0. Together, the trio would lament the supposed lack of “guardrails” that is allowing Trump to run “roughshod” over the government in pursuit of “Ivy League right-wing nihilism.”

Nawaz began with Capehart, “Can I just get both of you to briefly weigh in on this? Because we're nearing one month into the Trump presidency. Is it clear to you where the guardrails are, Jonathan?”

Capehart was naturally a doomer, “No. No. In a perfect world, Republicans on the Hill would be the guardrails, the rails. They would do things like, I don't know, maybe not approve some of these unqualified people to the Cabinet. But they haven't done it. And in the case of Speaker Johnson, he's not a guardrail. He's an enabler. He's a true believer. And so without that resistance from one of the branches of government, the executive is, I think, running roughshod.”

A solemn Nawaz then wondered, “David, do you agree with that?”

Is PBS still on the air?

We should be revoking each local station affiliate’s license.

They are leftist propagandists—and do not serve the public interest.

Enough is enough.

PBS made sense back when there were only four networks.

The three big buzzwords for Democrats now are "guardrails, gutting, and constitutional crisis."

So, exposing and cutting government waste is now “nihilism”? Who knew?

“Guardrails” was one of those talking points that meant leftists get to censor us but we don’t get to censor them.

Years ago, I would occasionally listen to PBS for a few minutes, and even then, they sounded like people with corncobs up their derrieres.

PBS literally NEVER does any positive stories on conservatives. It’s hideously biased.

There’s a good opportunity to defund this left wing propaganda right now. I pray that it happens and then watch it fold. Liberals won’t fund it because they only want to pay for things with other peoples’ money.

“Our Democracy” is threatened by a popularly elected president who follows through on his campaign promises and does the things that the people elected him to do.

Yep, the commies know what they’re doing. It’s no longer working.

I’d rather look at Amna than at Madcow.

Dear PBS: I firmly suggest you look at the US Constitution Article 1 Section 9 Paragraph 7, which states all monies spent by the US Treasury be published. Quote a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money, which shall be published from time to time. The last time this was done was in 1949; Trump is doing what the Constitution tells him to do until you know what came in and what went out. It is a breakdown of the US Constitution...

One really has to wonder what color they think the sky is in their delusional world.

Trump has been doing more than rallies in the last four years and figured out how to F the deep state criminals.

I used to wake up every day dreading the news of what Biden had done to entrench wokeism, leftism, corruption, make America a pussy policies, etc. etc.

Now I can't wait to read whose nads Trump and his team has kicked. Christmas every day.

Have you ever noticed that “PBS” has zero listener call in shows. Given their popularity one would have to wonder why this might be?
