PBS Celebrates FBI Killer Peltier, ‘Political Prisoner...Global Symbol for Human Rights’

The PBS News Hour, along with the rest of the liberal press, have certainly warmed up to the FBI, America’s chief domestic surveillance organization. Since Donald Trump came on the scene, the press has behaved more like a present-day “Friends of the FBI” – the fundraising group founded by supporters of the infamous J. Edgar Hoover – than the bulwark against government spying and surveillance it once fancied itself as being. PBS has even run pro-FBI stories with a McCarthyite tinge, like one applauding the online liberal “sedition hunters” of January 6 scofflaws.
