Columnist Michael Gerson and commentator Amy Holmes are teaming to start a conservative-oriented talk show on PBS that takes its cue from William F. Buckley’s “Firing Line,” which aired from 1966 to 1999.
The new show, “In Principle,” will air Friday nights starting April 13. PBS will decide after an eight-week run whether to continue.
No guests have been announced yet, but Gerson said he’d like to discuss issues like race, gun control and whether conservatism is the right message for the working class.

Gerson is decidedly anti-Trump. So PBS’s plan is to treat viewers to a “conservative” that bashes the president just like their other programming.
“See people, no one likes Trump.” – PBS
Gerson famously wrote an article thanking God for Jeff Flake and Bob Corker called, “God bless all the anti-Trump Republicans.”
WAPO– Nearly every elected Republican, with a few exceptions such as Sens. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), has been complicit or silent in the face of President Trump’s crazed and cruel political rise.
The current elected voices of this movement — Flake and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) — are heroes of sanity and principle.
And their composite criticism is utterly damning: Americans have elected a president who is dangerously unstable, divisive, childish, nasty, deceptive, self-deluded, morally unfit, deeply unconservative and thus badly wrong on some of the largest issues of our time.
the other elements of an effective response to Trump and Trumpism — a sobering GOP loss of the House, a raft of criminal indictments, further evidence of presidential volatility and incompetence during crisis, the emergence of a charismatic Trump alternative in the GOP — are not within your average representative’s power to produce.

That’s PBS’s version of a conservative.
They might as well have one of the Fourdumb Baldies – Kevin Williamson, Leon Wolf, Evan McMuffin or Ben Howe.

PBS?
250 years ago Jefferson told us ALL governments lie! PBS is the federal government; so of course they lie!
“No guests have been announced yet…”
Let me help:
Jon Podhoretz, Matthew Dowd, Peggy Noonan, John Kasich, Erick Erickson, Rinse and Repeat.
Will the show do a swimsuit feature starring Lindsey Graham?
I’ll be sure to tune in.

Is PBS actively seeking to get defunded?
I listen to All Blues on Saturday and Sunday and PBS is on the radios on Sunday and Monday mornings when I wake up and it is so damn predictable.

Tacoma also has what they call Blues Vespers at Immanuel Pres. Live show every third Sunday 5:00 – 7:00 and it is always great.

Oh. That otta work. Libs will hear show is supposed to be conservative so they won’t tune in. Conservatives know better than to trust Gershon or PBS so they won’t tune in either. Can we say DEFUND PBS boys and girls?
He’s a Republican like CNN’s Ana Navarro is and Joe Scarborough. (Insert eye roll here.)
How ’bout a show, where Trump mudstomps all these media gnats? 😀
I’d even order it on PPV! 😀 😀
Just like commie tards every where – they named it “In Principle” because they have no principles. Wouldn’t know a principle if it bit them on the @ss.

Ack! My whole comment disappeared! Disregard the link. You kinda have to know the backstory to it.
I am shocked at the staggering ego of these so-called “true conservatives” who actually believe their ridiculous, high-minded bullshit. Seemingly so enthralled in their own narcissism, they are recklessly and completely unaware of the disaster they themselves where perpetuating. My God! Their arrogance is utterly beyond belief, no wonder the uni-party has usurped all of modern politics.

A fake conservative show hosted by a fake conservative because PBS, like all progressives, thinks conservatives are as stupid and easily manipulated as progressives are. If they were, then they wouldn’t be conservatives, would they?
William F. Buckley would be writing a letter from an Alameda County jail if he were alive today.
The Left is attempting to create a digital Warsaw Ghetto of unacceptable opinions.
This is the movement to get banks to quit financing firearm purchases, deplatforming opinions, expelling men from college campuses without due process, etc.
The censorship that can’t be accomplished through government, is getting the hecklers veto from the private sector.
And the Obama administration was free of controversy….
Yeah, it’ll be like All Things Considered except it will be all things considered as long as they aren’t from a Conservative point of view.
Screw PBS.
The only principal that PBS has is it insatiable greed for other people’s money. It will a truly a guiding light for all confused demicretins.

Michael Gerson is a never trumper . I don’t watch PBS at all never did .
