PBS Runs Short 50 Second Story on Kavanaugh Assassin Attempt, PBS Website Ignores

Political News

On Wednesday morning, a pro-abortion leftist from California was caught outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house with a gun, knife, and zip ties in what the man admitted was an attempt to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh. Despite this shocking report, PBS NewsHour only managed to give the story fifty seconds. 

This is despite running a six-minute and twenty-two-minute-long segment on COVID vaccine inequality in India and the rest of the third world. 

Anchor Judy Woodruff introduced the Kavanaugh assassination attempt in a dismissive tone by opening with the phrase “in the day’s other news,” as if she was about to report on a water main break in New York City as opposed to the attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice in an attempt to convince the court to change its apparent opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. 

After Woodruff’s minimization of the story, she began reporting on the details, noting that “a California man was charged with attempted murder after being arrested near the Maryland home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.”

The taxpayer-funded anchor aired a soundbite of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s condemnation of the politically motivated assassination attempt: 

This kind of behavior, is obviously, is behavior that we will not tolerate. Threats of violence and actual violence against the justices of course strike at the heart of our democracy. We will do everything we can to prevent them and to hold people who do them accountable. 

Ending her report so she can obsess over low vaccination rates in Zimbabwe, Woodruff insisted that the “justices have increased round-the-clock security since a draft abortion rights opinion leaked.” 

To make matters worse, as of the publication of this blog, PBS has no mention of the attempt on Justice Kavanaugh’s life on their website.    

PBS is brought to you by….you. Your taxes pay for this biased coverage.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed a tough response.
