Amanpour & Company
I was disappointed with the coverage of the July 19th episode and the person who interviewed former congressman Tim Ryan.
The media frenzy on President Biden, pushing his age, his inability to put forth a forward moving agenda, etc., all negative. Your job is to report, not create the news, not scare the public but to inform. Not once did I hear it mentioned that trump lied his way through the debate, not once did I hear it mentioned that trump, himself, is often incoherent and stumbles, (he certainly is delusional) or that this Project 2025 is a playbook of how to take over the country, and the office of the president, and that he intends to take that through violence if necessary. Not a word about him being a convicted felon, the corrupt supreme court, or that he has repeatedly said that he would be a dictator on day one. He is telling us exactly what his plans are and all we hear from the news is about Biden's age.
Thirty democratic politicians calling for President Joe Biden, who does that include? Representative Jared Golden from Maine wrote an op ed speaking to that and making the statement that Trump is going to win. In all honesty, Golden is a conservative Democrat, a Boll Weevil, if you will.
My belief is that he ran as a democrat because he simply felt Bruce Poliquin had been in there long enough.Golden tends more to conservative than liberal views, in my opinion.
Let me say this, I taught history, I taught government, and I understand that the democrats are the forward moving party period. I will crawl over broken glass to vote for President Biden. We need a united party against what trump is going to do to our country. I will vote for a frog in a zoot suit, if it is blue, but we will get nowhere if we are fractured.
Please, as a news show of PBS make sure your programs are balanced.I
turn to PBS for truth and balance.
Sincerely,
