In May, President Trump fired Carla Hayden, the Obama-nominated head of the Library of Congress, and the PBS News Hour came to the defense of its tax-funded brethren on Friday evening.

On Saturday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UCSD professor Barbara Walter (not to be confused with the late journalist).

Thursday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour turned to a leftist group, the Brennan Center for Justice and a liberal mayor as their subject experts to criticize President Trump’s use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles and other cities to quell violence at protests against ICE’s arrest of illegal immigrants. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz quoted California…
