ONE DOWN – OVERNIGHT:  PBS has discarded a nut case who was caught on tape making vile comments.  One small step for man.  From Daily Caller: 

PBS is distancing itself from a former employee featured in a Project Veritas video who appeared to defend violent attacks on the White House, proposed re-education for the children of President Donald Trump supporters, and praised the COVID-19 deaths of GOP voters.

“This employee no longer works for PBS,” a PBS spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “As a mid-level staff attorney, he did not speak on behalf of our organization, nor did he make any editorial decisions.”

“There is no place for hateful rhetoric at PBS, and this individual’s views in no way reflect our values or opinions,” the spokesperson said. “We strongly condemn violence and will continue to do what we have done for 50 years — use our national platform and local presence to strengthen communities and bring people together.”

PBS did not clarify to the DCNF whether the employee was fired as a result of the video. Project Veritas tweeted Tuesday afternoon that former PBS principal counsel Michael Beller had been fired.

COMMENT:  It's hard to think of much good coming out of the current orgy in Washington, but there is some outside possibility that the left will realize it will be more closely scrutinized and may not be able to get away with its usual disgraceful behavior.  That is a wish.
