Liberal Media Scream: PBS airs extreme TDS, ‘starvation,’ ‘death’ – Washington Examiner
The article discusses a segment from PBS’s “Washington Week with The Atlantic,” where a panel of left-leaning journalists expressed extreme criticisms of President Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk. The focus was on the budget cuts affecting USAID,with NPR’s Asthma khalid warning that these cuts might lead to increased poverty and starvation. Another journalist, Anne Applebaum, framed the cuts as a “test case of cruelty,” suggesting they could result in death, alluding to potential human suffering from budget reductions in government programs. The piece portrays these comments as exaggerated and indicative of what the author refers to as “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” critiquing the panel’s lack of rational analysis regarding government spending and presenting their views as biased.

Liberal Media Scream: PBS airs extreme TDS, ‘starvation,’ ‘death’
This week’s Liberal Media Scream features a PBS freak panel of left-wing journalists spewing the most extreme anti-Trump analysis of the cost-cutting by the White House and efficiency agency headed by Elon Musk.
While discussing the fate of USAID, which President Donald Trump’s team closed and shifted spending authority to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a reporter for National Public Radio warned to others nodding yes that the impact will be “poverty and increased starvation.”
Then an Atlantic reporter, formerly with the Washington Post, said on the tax-subsidized PBS show Washington Week with The Atlantic that cutting by Trump and Musk of the federal world aid slush fund would lead to “cruelty and death.”
The language used by the reporters are just two examples of the type of Trump Derangement Syndrome attacks on Musk and the president’s efforts to root out waste and fraud in government programs.
From the February 7 edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS:
ASTHMA KHALID, NPR: There’s something I think very strange at this moment of seeing the world’s richest man really sort of take a hatchet that will essentially take people who are already in the depths of poverty and, you know, increase starvation rates, or increase hunger rates, which is likely what will happen if USAID is entirely cut off.”…
ANNE APPLEBAUM, THE ATLANTIC: It’s a test case for can agencies just be abolished without Congress having any say, but it’s also a test case of cruelty. You know, are Americans willing to accept a high level of cruelty and death just, you know, on the president’s whim, on Elon Musk’s whim.

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “Your taxpayer dollars at work: A journalist for taxpayer-funded National Public Radio and another journalist – both on taxpayer-funded PBS – relay the talking points, in their most extreme form, of the government employee union trying to discredit any reduction in federal spending. Instead of a rational assessment of efforts to trim spending, the two prove they are in the tank for the deep state, presuming starvation and death will result. And they wonder why so many don’t see them as serious sources of facts.”
Rating: Five out of five screams.
