Missed Opportunities for Public Media at the DOGE hearing
A failure to challenge conservative panel members on their definitions of “liberal.” No politician - Democrat or Republican - on the subcommittee was willing to ask a question of the witnesses on defining "liberal" or "conservative" in relation to democratic values of liberty, equality, fraternity, dignity and solidarity. If journalistic culture (story selection, sourcing) is pro-liberty and pro-equality, does that make it "liberal" bias?
