The PBS News Hour on Wednesday unwittingly showed off ideological double standards in three separate segments: a hostile profile of controversial Republican activist Laura Loomer, a gushfest with controversial pro-Palestinian activist and kid-vid host “Ms. Rachel,” and a celebration of a kinder, gentler form of racial segregation in an arts community in Maine for “Black and brown artists” only.
