On Friday evening’s Washington Week with The Atlantic on tax-funded PBS, show host and Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg set a “foreboding” scene, just a few days before Election Day.

The Democratic Party, which accuses Republicans of trying to subvert confidence in the electoral process, is oddly reluctant to actually ensure that only citizens are allowed to vote.

As the presidential campaign enters its final week, Laura Barron-Lopez, White House correspondent for the PBS News Hour, got the vote out for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, while on assignment on the Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, covering Harris’s “closing argument” speech which Harris delivered later that evening.

Tax-funded liberal symbiosis in action: Political talk show Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS, invited PBS’s Washington Week host and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss his anonymously sourced hit piece, which dropped two weeks before the presidential election, alleging that Donald Trump envied Adolf Hitler’s generals.
Goldberg added a soupcon of condescension toward his fellow…
