Monday’s PBS News Hour invited Abby Phillip, liberal host of CNN's NewsNight with Abby Phillip, for a gush-fest over “A Dream Deferred,” her new book on the former inflammatory Democratic politician Jesse Jackson.

PBS Talks to Son of Palestinian Terrorist, Suggests Murder Trial Sham
PBS News Hour Middle East correspondent Leila Molana-Allen, whose reporting for PBS over the last year betrays her anti-Israel partisanship, interviewed terrorist Marwan Barghouti’s son, Arab Barghouti for Tuesday’s edition, with nauseating results.
