Ask yourself which TV news network has done the worst job of covering Donald Trump. It might be Fox, but I don’t watch Fox news. Among the networks I do watch, the most mealy-mouthed outfit by far is PBS. Even CNN has suggested to Trump’s orange face that he might be a racist, but PBS is content to note that Trump is “different.” His candidacy is “unusual.” That’s as strong as condemnation gets on PBS with its unending row after row of corporate sponsors.
The News Hour’s toleration of racism is worse than cowardly. I want to say that these PBS finks took up the wrong profession. There are better jobs for the desperately craven. They make good torturers, for example.
