Column: PBS and NPR Offer Journalism By Liberals, For Liberals
By Tim Graham | April 1, 2020 6:19 AM EDT
The enormous coronavirus “stimulus package†was festooned with goodies for key Democratic constituency groups, including $75 million in “emergency†funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which offers grants to PBS and NPR stations. That’s on top of the half-billion the Congress already authorized for the year.
They call it “public†broadcasting, but it’s niche broadcasting by liberals, for liberals. Even during this self-isolation, PBS aired a documentary slashing the NRA, and NPR celebrated the 12th anniversary of Barack Obama’s speech about toxic Reverend Wright.
The PBS heroine of the moment is White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, who inspired the Left to make the viral hashtag "#WeLoveYamiche."
