The sound of Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson on Friday’s PBS NewsHour underlined how there is no debate and no democracy on PBS. They put on a RINO who says the GOP is simply awful, and the liberal on the panel says “Oh, I agree!” Republicans pay taxes to be painted as awful for opposing the murder of unborn babies.
Gerson was the chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush, a moderate Christian conservative. Bush nominated Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the majority opinion overturning Roe vs. Wade . He also nominated Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined that majority. But now, Gerson rails against Republicans as unfit for governing.
PBS anchor Judy Woodruff vaguely referred to new polling results from their PBS/NPR/Marist poll that inflation is the top issue in the midterms, but a third of Democrats say abortion is “top of mind” as they prepare to go to the polls. She asked Gerson “What does that tell you?”
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. GERSON: Well, it doesn’t tell me as much about the issue of abortion, which has been divisive for a long time. It tells me a lot about the perception of radicalism of the Republican Party, OK? This is a case where, rather than dealing in the aftermath of Dobbs in a responsible way with these issues, Republicans looked like they wanted to undermine the health of a 10-year-old, OK? Or the attorney general of Texas has said that he would enforce sodomy laws if the Supreme Court moves on those things. Those are deeply radical notions that Republicans have been led to. So I think Republicans — I think that Democrats have been more effective, not in changing minds on abortion, but […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
