Thread: Libidiot Shills at PBS stump for illegal immigration

Is PBS funded by La Raza, the CFR, George Soros and the Bush Administration?

Judy Woodruff/PBS lies about Romney, Giuliani ("anti-immigrant", Mark Shields, David Brooks)

On tonight's PBS News Hour, Judy Woodruff discussed political matters with Mark Shields and David Brooks [1]. And, she lied:

On the Republican side, you've got Romney and Giuliani trying to sort of out anti-immigrant one another.

Obviously, that's a false statement about both. Part of Romney's stock speech about this topic is to support legal immigration. And, Giuliani wants to "solve" illegal immigration by declaring a massive amnesty. Neither positions are in any way "anti-immigrant".

After that, David Brooks reiterated comments made in today's column (see the first link):

I think Rudy Giuliani is the most pro-immigration candidate probably running in the past 20 years, and now he's pretending to be something entirely different, to his discredit.

And, Mark Shield chimes in with this:

I would commend -- which I very rarely do, and I don't think I've ever done before -- commend David's column today in the New York Times on the subject of the Republicans, and particularly Giuliani on immigration.
Would it pain the NewsHour to have one person there who isn't a supporter of illegal activity in one way or another? Could they suggest that Judy Woodruff actually learns what she's trying to talk about and is able to use the correct words for things? If the two "debaters" and the host are all on the same side, is it a debate or something else?

It is high time PBS get nailed!! We all need to respond to the battle cry here because my daughter and I have also noticed something else along with V-Dare's coverage of their funding and leftist agenda.The morning program including Sesame street is NOTICIBLY PROMOTING a new BICULTURAL NATION.You can almost weekly count the increase in Spanish words thrown in the dialogues and the forum for teaching our kids SPANISH!!PLEASE GO FOR THE JUGULAR on this!! My daughter (11 years) was amazed at the changes on Dragon Tails.Every time they send me a fundraising letter I write back in red ink I do not support biculturalism it creates wars...They still send those letters without acknowledgement. I have written Front line and McNeil about why they do not cover immigration properly...way back. No response.Really this needs to be addressed!!!!PRAISE to ALIPAC for getting to this...watch TV shows for kids...TOTAL PROPAGANDA!!!

I want to know why my tax dollars is helping to subsidize this sh_t on public air waves ... no, no, no wrong answer

Shields and Brooks is a complete joke.

It's like having a point-counterpoint between Lenin and Trotsky.

David Brooks is actually WORSE than his predecessor on the "right" side, Paul Gigot, if you can believe that.

At least Mark Krikorian gets invites once in a while.
