The Wrap's Reaction to PBS/NPR Clawbacks Confirms Lefty/Bluesky Bubble

Amid the predictable wailing over the House vote to claw back $1 billion of taxpayer funding from hopelessly biased public media outlets PBS and NPR, one news outlet was unusually bitter: The Wrap, an L.A.-based news site focused on the entertainment business, which seemed to take the cuts as a personal affront, and in the process proved it resides in a West Coast liberal bubble.

Nets SKIP Another Biden Aide Taking the 5th, Obsess on Trump-Epstein

On Friday, ex-Biden White House deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini became the third key aide to take the Fifth Amendment, invoking her right against self-incrimination and declining to way whether Team Biden “instructed her to lie” about Biden’s health.

PBS's Frontline: Trump 'A Travesty in All of American History'

Even as the Senate was preparing to take up defunding PBS, the taxpayer-funded network was shamelessly airing another Trump-trashing Frontline documentary on Tuesday evening. The online blurb to “Trump’s Power and the Rule of Law” explained they would spend 90 minutes warning about the "high-stakes showdown" between Trump and judges trying to curb his executive powers.

CNN’s Jake Tapper tried desperately on The Lead on Friday to connect the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with parent company Paramount’s legal drama with President Trump.
