PBS News Hour - Full Show

I listen most days to Newshour podcasts and really wish you would add to this feed all the PBS coverage of debate nights, including pre- and post- analysis. I can’t watch or listen to tv anymore, and I can’t find your distinctive coverage in other podcasts. I appreciate the guests you’ve had on in previous years and the quality of the discussions. Alternatively, include it in some other feed or just create a separate “special events” feed. I just really want to access it! Thank you 😁

I listen to the Newhour as no one really covers int’l news like they do and I like the depth of coverage. Unfortunately, your October 23, 2024 episode was disappointing. We expect news not politicized hearsay. Your team and the producers should be ashamed. Here is the opening from the transcript of that episode: “Good evening, I'm Geoff Bennett. Amna Nawaz is away. On the News Hour tonight, Donald Trump's longest-serving Chief of Staff speaks out about the former president's authoritarian tendencies and praise of Adolf Hitler.” I encourage everyone to listen to the first 5:30 of the October 23, 2024 episode (or the whole episode if you have time) and make up your own mind. All I ask is that you remain objective when you listen regardless of who you favor in the election. In a world of other important newsworthy topics, covering speculative hearsay likening a presidential candidate to Hitler — exactly two weeks before the election — was irresponsible. How is what you did not illegal given the abuse of trust especially this close to the election? Amna picked a good night to be “away”.

Propaganda you are a slave. Propaganda you are a slave. Propaganda you are a slave. Propaganda you are a slave.

The new hosts have indulged their politics a bit much, especially when it comes to coverage of criminal violence and the regulation of firearms in the US. Framing these complex issues of political freedoms—long denied to African Americans and immigrant city dwellers— and the challenges of e pluribus unum diversity on social norms and community cohesion under the facile notion of “gun violence” not only insults the intelligence of loyal News Hour aficionados but is nothing more than advocacy of their well-meaning but fundamentally misguided political preferences.
