We are tuning out the Cheap Labor Express propagandists in the Ministry of Propaganda like David Brooks.

They can’t stand it.

Faux-conservative David Brooks is little more than a jabbering clown with thin academic credentials. And PBS has a penchant for picking such faux-conservative clowns supposedly to represent “conservative” ideas.

Back in the 90s, PBS also employed the false “conservative” David Gergen as a supposed “Republican” alternative to the Demo Mark Shields all the while during the 1992 presidential election campaign Gergen was negotiating a position with the Clinton crowd. Characteristically, on PBS Gergen couldn’t bad-mouth Bush I enough. Gergen now has some position at the Kennedy School at Harvard; I saw the mumbling weasel several times when I was working on a book at Harvard fifteen or so years ago.

During the election 1992 campaign another favourite featured on PBS was the utterly repulsive left-lib shill Bill Moyers. Yes, PBS has a lot to answer for. . . . Defund PBS!

David Brooks and David Frum are two of the same ilk. They are irksome as mold on cheese. And for all the “properness” of their position, they’re statements are as empty and irrelevant as their suits. Who wants to listen to them! Brooks, case in point, doesn’t even know himself — he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know. (Classic projection.) And he’s not even the slightest bit curious to know that he doesn’t know. His predictions have been totally wrong for years and you would think that he would take stock of his errors... show some humility at least. But the truth is — truth is out and pushing a narrative is in. He has invested in a narrative that has clouded and defined his judgement. He’s not alone and gets paid big money to be irrelevant within the DC establishment vacuum. Some would say that is making it!

"Trump is getting Trumpier, and the administration is getting Trumpier," Brooks said. ....

Yep - and that's what we the People voted for....

Add in the NYT praise and backing of Castro back in the late 50s

Brooks may have to join Stephanopolous on suicide watch when this Deep State really starts to unravel.

All of their ‘establishment’ heroes are going down, IMO.

Thanks to you for this exhaustive take-down of the faux-conservative clown David Brooks (of the thin academic credentials and in desperate need of some serious dental work). Cheers,

Funny how the Dems & ‘establishment’ Republicans didn’t seem to give a darn about all of Bill Clinton’s sexual attacks on women. They think that every time Trump even smiles at a woman, he is engaged in something taudry.

Clinton has been a sexual predator since he was a teenager, and still is. How about a real expose’ about that, Brooks???

Trump got elected on ‘anti-system’. 18 months later, and Brooks is till trying to figure things out.

That is a perfect reason why the taxpayer $$$ given to PBS needs to stop. THEY are the only outlet that will pay him.

Are there any charges that can be brought against Brooks? Has he helped in any kind of ‘Obstruction of Justice’ against the Dems?

Brooks is a NE-living bubble boy! He has no clue outside the city limits of NYC.

That image of David Brooks with his new wife reminds one not to skip on regular dentist appointments.

Unable to process how one could support Trump,


It is not the job of a journalist to "process how anyone could support Trump".

Brooks, who identifies as a conservative


If he didn't "identify" as a conservative, we never would have known.
