Too many quotes, for instance, from Sam Tanenhaus, who has built a career around misunderstanding American Conservatism. They seemed to be uninterested in allowing Mr Buckley to speak for himself in his own words.

They really lost me when they tried to draw a line from WFB to January 6.
that is too bad. I can only imagine what Buckley would say about January 6 and it’s not what PBS has ascribed to him.


In the last couple of days there’s been an NPR editor gone rogue and public about unfortunate changes he has seen at NPR in the past few years. He says it’s gone from a respected news organization with genuine curiosity and a liberal bent to a scolding, narrow minded institution that pushes a select handful of narratives, and we all know what those narratives are.

Bari Weiss interviewed him on her podcast.
