Upon Being Not Surprised
Maybe if they brought Robert MacNeil back, PBS would be less biased than ABC news?And you thought the reason we supported community radio and Democracy Now instead of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was because Maura Liasson is a FOX (as in News Corp.) and Amy Goodman is a national treasure, the living definition of why there's a First Amendment and why "Journalist" is an honorific moniker that should be selectively wielded by those who are engaged in the struggle to disseminate vital information about the res publica to the publica: criteria that excludes 90% of the U.S. press corps.
Wait. That's what you thought? Because that's actually true. Sorry.

To me the worst lapse of the NewsHour is that it is stultifyingly dull. They might as well hire a plate of cheese curds to read the news.
Interesting. Did you feel like it was more engaging with the duo (i.e., that watching it now is like listening to an Art Garfunkel album)? I'll admit I haven't seen it for years.
