It might be a little hard to believe, but on the cusp of potential PBS budget cuts, “Now with David Brancaccio” is promoting that tonight they will interview former New York Times reporter and current Nation Institute fellow Christopher Hedges on the Christian right. The promotional page even highlights how the “ire” of the Christian right was raised by a Hedges piece in Harper’s, rebutted by Stanley Kurtz of NRO. Right there, PBS is promoting that Hedges compared the Christian right to Hitler, and they’re telling the world: yes, this is an expert we think more of America needs to hear!

PS: Thanks to Pledge Week, this episode doesn’t seem to be airing on WETA in Washington, DC. Instead, we’re getting “John Denver: The Wildlife Concert” — from 1995.
