That’s like me in 2017. I stopped watching PBS after I finally became a leftist. I can’t believe I was so stupid and actually watched their “left-right” opinion show or any similar garbage from any media outlet. The range of opinion always goes from what they call the “left” - the right-leaning democrat all the way to the “right” - the reasonable republican.
The PBS show is always named after the hosts so it had a different name back then. The “left” host died of old age. I’m not even making that up. I stopped listening to the show when they were debating healthcare. The “left” host was a well-meaning idiot who was not smart enough to understand he was still a ghoul and David Brooks was the “right” working hard to pretend he had a soul and wasn’t a ghoul.
The dead host’s replacement is even worse. Behold…
“Brooks and Capehart”
David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart analyze the political news of the week.
Capehart is the “left” yet it’s PBS and not the Onion. Brooks is 63. And I have to wonder if he will be the “right” host for another couple decades before he retires or he too dies of old age.
Mark Stephen Shields (May 25, 1937 – June 18, 2022) was an American political columnist, advisor, and commentator. He worked in leadership positions for many Democratic candidates’ electoral campaigns. […] Shields was a regular political commentator on the PBS NewsHour from 1988 to 2020.
I wonder if in those 32 years of “analysis” he ever wrote or spoke a single sentence worthy of his audience’s deep contemplation.

Out of curiosity - I googled the guy. I couldn’t even remember his name - haha. He retired in 2020 at 83. And he died two years later.
