Elliot Hannon:
If we cared more about the journalism than news theater we’d all be watching PBS. But no one’s talking about NewsHour. There are no meltdowns. The circus, itself, becomes the point — the reason to watch. Youtube videos go viral precisely because they are unexpected, unvarnished — embarrassing. This is CNN.
And there you have it folks. He’s exactly right.
I miss Ted Turner.
Maybe liberals would all be watching PBS. It’s idea of a “Republican” is David Brooks.
Actually, liberals do all watch PBS. Not sure what the article had to do with politics, though.
The implication of the quote is that somehow PBS is some oracle of news. Hardly. Liberal bias up the ying yang.
The ol’ facts = liberal bias argument.
Right, Gwen Ifil plays it straight down the middle, LOL. And David Brooks is a conservative. #yeahright
