Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined New York Times columnist David Brooks and PBS NewsHour host Judy Woodruff on Friday for their weekly recap of the news that was.

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks here was zero mention of Walker's denials! Jonathan Capehart asserted that conservative radio host Dana Loesch doesn't care about children -- which is always a weird allegation against pro-lifers.

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty and New York Times columnist David Brooks took turns dismissing Kevin McCarthy's "Commitment to America" platform for the midterm elections.

Liz Cheney lost her Wyoming primary election by 37 points. But the concession speech didn't so much concede as announce a new crusade, a quixotic campaign to drag down Donald Trump in any way possible before the 2024 election. When she lost, CNN analyst Nia-Malika Henderson accurately…
