After Lamenting U.S., Debt PBS Fought Fiercely for AmeriCorps $1B Spending

More than any other news network, the PBS News Hour has focused on the sad stories of proposed and actual Trump administration budget reductions, finding sympathetic victims to more effectively personalize the issues. Then they turn around and run a story about Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating due to the growing U.S. debt – taking both sides so both reflect badly on conservative moves by the Trump administration.  

PBS went all out to fight Monday evening for a relatively obscure federal program, the formerly controversial AmeriCorps, a federal program that places young adults in schools (e.g. the Teach for America program) and other public service roles, founded in 1994 to liberal fanfare during the Clinton administration.
