PBS' Judy Woodruff 'Clarifies' Her Reporting About Trump Derailing Hostage Negotiations
Posted • August 22, 2024: Can Donald Trump please do something about PBS if he's reelected? PBS claims that only a small fraction of its operating budget comes from taxpayers, yet it insists it couldn't survive without them. PBS NewsHour has launched the careers of esteemed journalists like Yamiche Alcindor. PBS doesn't seem to care for Donald Trump much. While covering Trump's impromptu rally following his arraignment in Miami last year, PBS NewsHour put a warning on the screen: "EXPERTS WARN THAT INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS OR PEOPLE IN POWER CAN PROMPT INDIVIDUAL ACTORS TO COMMIT ACTS OF VIOLENCE."

In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn't seen later reporting that both sides denied it. This was a mistake and I apologize for it.” -- In her statement, Judy Woodruff says she was relying on Axios and Reuters reporting, that she just wasn’t aware of the denials from Trump and Netanyahu. -- But I can’t find any Axios or Reuters reporting that reflects what she says in the video. She’s just sorry she got caught. There is an effort to use the Logan Act against Donald Trump and they’re making up lies about him to get him prosecuted. (…)
