PBS Runs Short 50 Second Story on Kavanaugh Assassin Attempt, PBS Website Ignores

On Wednesday morning, a pro-abortion leftist from California was caught outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house with a gun, knife, and zip ties in what the man admitted was an attempt to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh. The shocking story is still true. PBS NewsHourOnly fifty seconds were required to tell the story. 

This is despite running a six-minute and twenty-two-minute-long segment on COVID vaccine inequality in India and the rest of the third world. 

Anchor Judy Woodruff introduced the Kavanaugh assassination attempt in a dismissive tone by opening with the phrase “in the day’s other news,” as if she was about to report on a water main break in New York City as opposed to the attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice in an attempt to convince the court to change its apparent opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. 

After Woodruff’s minimization of the story, she began reporting on the details, noting that “a California man was charged with attempted murder after being arrested near the Maryland home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.” 

The taxpayer-funded anchor aired a soundbite of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s condemnation of the politically motivated assassination attempt: 

We will not accept this kind of behaviour. Threats and actual violence against justices strike right at the heart our democracy. We will make every effort to avoid them, as well as to hold the perpetrators accountable. 

Ending her report so she can obsess over low vaccination rates in Zimbabwe, Woodruff insisted that the “justices have increased round-the-clock security since a draft abortion rights opinion leaked.” 

To make matters worse, as of the publication of this blog, PBS has no mention of the attempt on Justice Kavanaugh’s life on their website.

JUDY WOODRUFF – A California man has been charged with attempted murder following his arrest near the Maryland house of U.S. Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The criminal complaint stated that Nicholas Roske was carrying a gun, a knife, and had threatened to kill Kavanaugh. It is partly related to an impending decision on abortion. Merrick Garland, the U.S. Attorney General, promised a hard response. 

MERRICK GARDEN: Such behavior is clearly unacceptable. Our democracy’s heart is broken by threats and violence that actually target the justices. We’ll do our best to stop them, and hold those who commit them responsible. 

WOODRUFF. Since the leak of a draft abortion rights opinion, security has been increased by the justices. The court may reverse Roe v. Wade.
