Leonardo, no
Leonardo, no
It’s far too busy: split screens, with art on one side, nature on the other; unidentified artworks, by any number of artists, split-screen or full-, appearing and disappearing rapidly; art historians speaking as music plays behind them, or over them. The presentation defies any contemplation of art.

“Leftist broadcasters” (Project 2025)
“Leftist broadcasters” (Project 2025)
It’s extraordinarily dishonest to assert that NPR and PBS are noneducational or virtually noneducational, unless of course you’ve already restricted “educational” to programming for the very young. So Sesame Street is educational, but All Things Considered, American Masters, Finding Your Roots, and Frontline are not.

PBS priorities, good grief
PBS priorities, good grief
When the PBS NewsHour panel began its analysis of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last night, the first question Geoff Bennett put to Lisa Desjardins, reporting from the House chamber was not about what the president said. It was about the interruptions.

“Molly, you in danger, girl”
“Molly, you in danger, girl”
Jonathan Capehart: “There’s a great scene in the movie Ghost where Whoopi Goldberg says to Demi Moore, ‘Molly, you in danger, girl.’ And, you know, if I were to see Doanld Trump, I would say exactly that to him.”

I always like seeing a Peanuts strip that references some once-obvious, now-gone bit of popular culture.

“The witty outsider”?
“The witty outsider”?
On the PBS NewsHour, David Brooks just characterized Donald Trump in 2016 as “sort of the witty outsider.” Wut?

Tonight’s PBS NewsHour is a repeat, at least at our PBS station, and it began with QEII’s funeral procession.

Infuriating to find PBS bumping the second episode of The U.S. and the Holocaust for a ninety-minute recap of QEII’s funeral service.

Mark Shields (1937–2022)
I listened to and learned from Mark Shields for years on the PBS NewsHour. I always liked the way he prefaced so many of his responses to Judy Woodruff’s questions with her first name: one person talking to another.

Streets
The PBS NewsHour, tonight, in a seconds-long obituary: “He rose from the streets of working-class Brooklyn,” &c. Ah, yes, “the streets.” A cheap — not to mention insulting — cliché. Not even the sidewalks?

The PBS NewsHour has too often been exceedingly decorous in its coverage of misogynistic, racist, and xenophobic remarks. But not tonight.
