    PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger on CNN this morning: “People often struggle to come up with examples” of left-wing bias at PBS. Actually, it’s not a struggle at all. Here are just a few of PBS’s biggest whiffs: 🧵 (1/5)

  2. #2

    (2/5) In Louisiana, a PBS video claimed that pre-schoolers “may have racial bias.” PBS affiliates also advocated for males in women’s sports to have “support in their push for athletic access.” They have the right to say this stuff—but not with your money.

  3. #3

    (3/5) Even worse, PBS pushed so-called “gender-affirming care for youth” and released woke “anti-racist” talking points for “[t]alking to young children about race and racism.” Should taxpayers really be funding PBS’s hot takes on “the hidden racism of young white Americans”?

  4. #4

    (4/5) PBS also thought it was a good idea to cover “a blueprint for the case against Trump” and claim that Gov. Sarah Palin “ushered in the ‘post-truth’ political era in which Trump has thrived.” Give me a break.

  5. #5

    (5/5) Thanks to President Trump’s rescission package, taxpayers may finally be able to get out of the business of deeply weird, left-wing media. That’s a good thing.
