Will the Media Track Elected Socialists on Their Governing Results?

PBS: Sentencing of Antifa After Cop Shooting a 'Crackdown on Dissent'
On Wednesday’s PBS News Hour, co-host Amna Nawaz provided an overheated take on the surprisingly tough sentences given to “anti-ICE protesters” in Texas in the wake of an attempted assassination of a police officer outside a migrant facility by a North Texas Antifa cell.

WashPost: Trump Killing Pool ‘Doesn’t Reflect Well on Democracy’
Because he’s not a cable TV fixture, Washington Post arts and architecture critic Philip Kennicott can fly under the radar as one of the most unhinged sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). But stories like one that ran in Thursday’s print edition illustrated his TDS as he raged about Trump “disturb[ing]” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, “one of the most serene places” in…

CNN Laments SCOTUS Immigration Ruling in Wake of Venezuela Earthquakes
On Friday’s CNN This Morning, after the Supreme Court’s ruling on Thursday that allowed the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status, as in the cases of Haitians and Syrians, host Audie Cornish connected the ruling to the Venezuelan earthquake.

PBS Pushes 'The Queer Face of War: Portraits and Stories from Ukraine'
PBS’s (formerly taxpayer funded) News Hour program had some news you could use Tuesday evening -- a monologue from J.
