Ridiculous PBS Equates Protecting Jewish Students with 'Chilling of Speech on Campus'

The PBS News Hour ended Tuesday evening’s show to a discussion of the “chilling effect” of Trump’s executive actions on free speech on campus, based on the pro-Hamas agitators occupying campus quads and sometimes vandalizing campus buildings and attacking Jewish students, a segment slanted heavily toward the pro-Palestinian side.

No surprise there, given that a June 2024 Media Research Center study found the News Hour’s coverage to slant overwhelmingly toward the side of the protesters, downplaying their pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish rhetoric and of course, rediscovering the merits of “free speech” on campus after years of ignoring squelching of conservative opinion.
