PBS Promotes Race-Obsessed Sportswriter and Lionizes a Stalinist Toady

One way “public” broadcasters demonstrate their dramatic leftist bias is by which books and authors they promote. On January 27, they featured an interview by co-anchor Geoff Bennett of Howard Bryant — former ESPN The Magazine columnist, and perpetual racial grievance machine — lionizing the famous black Stalinist puppet and actor Paul Robeson.
Bennett talked to Bryant about his new book, Kings and Pawns: Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson in America. That’s a heroic athlete and a villainous communist. But not in the minds of the PBS elite.
