If there were still any questions that PBS is a liberal network in need of defunding, Friday’s News Hour removed any remaining doubts. In a wild segment, host William Brangham preferred the words of the “nonpartisan” League of Women Voters over an anti-Trump law professor who stated the country is not in a constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist and supposed conservative David Brooks promoted his recent article where he essentially quoted The Communist Manifesto and urged, among other things, Americans to go on strike to protest Trump.
Brangham wondered what Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart thought of the whole thing, “Jonathan, what do you think about that? I mean, we had Georgetown Law Professor Steve Vladeck on the show. He says, we're not quite there yet, because the Trump administration has not yet formally blown through, overtly ignored a direct court order yet.”
At the same time, “we also heard from the League of Women Voters, the nonpartisan organization, who this week — I'd like to read you this quote. They said — quote — ‘It has now been 87 days since the start of the Trump administration. From the flagrant disregard for congressional authority and governmental checks and balances, to defying Supreme Court orders to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back home, one thing is abundantly clear. Our country is in a constitutional crisis.’”
