‘Menacing’ Census Question? David Brooks Dissolves the PBS/NPR Charade That He’s Conservative
31st March 2018
PBS and NPR both use New York Times columnist David Brooks as their one “house conservative” to assess the week in review on Fridays. And both know that isn’t the slightest bit accurate. On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Brooks beat liberal Mark Shields to the punch in declaring it was “menacing” for the 2020 census to once again ask people if they are a citizen of the United States, and he proclaimed the anti-gun “March for Our Lives” was a “moderate” march that gave him hope.
The relevant distinction is not liberal/conservative but Crust/nonCrust. And Brooks is dyed-in-the-wool Crust.
