  • 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.

  • Our tax dollars pay for this consistent liberal perspective?

    How many episodes are going to continuously push liberal views? Abortion this Dobbs that. Give me a freaking break. It’s like I’m listening to CNN or MSNBC.
