  • Gone

    Gone are the good days at NPR. Something changed 10 years ago and now every question, every guest, every opinion are twisted around a narrow view. I hang my head about 40 seconds into each episode. It’s just not possible to learn anything new from even this narrowly focused program

  • Peculiar Idea of Balance

    2.25 stars: I rounded it up to be generous.

    PBS highlights the left’s best, positive vision and their deep biases. They feature lefty pundits making a persuasive case for the left. The same lefties then tell us what the right thinks. You’ll never actually hear a pundit on the right speak for themselves. Nor will you get an objective understanding of the big picture. But you will know how media elites who used to shape public thought want you to think.

  • Excellent focused snapshot of the larger show

    THANK YOU for this SCOTUS-centered portion of the larger PBS NewsHour. I don’t always have time to watch the whole NewsHour every night, so this sort of brief, themed focus suits me and my avid court-watching perfectly. Even in segments as short as five or six minutes, this journalism goes deeper and provides more context than reporting ten or twelve times longer. Your strict nonpartisanship coupled with your respect for and knowledge of the history and laws of the USA is especially appreciated ... more

  • Not what it used to be … or needs to be

    Sadly, PBS’s SCOTUS coverage has ceased to be a nuanced, in-depth view of the Court and has instead become as shrill and hyperbolic as the partisan news sources I try to avoid. A shame, as there is a crying need for balanced court analysis. I can get MSNBC’s perspective on MSNBC. PBS used to be so much better than this.
