Conservatives hoping “In the Know” hammers NPR’s extreme bias are likely in for a letdown.

Public radio’s liberal hypocrisy? That’s another matter.

Early reviews for the six-episode Peacock comedy, debuting Jan. 25, suggest the show avoids NPR’s relentless cheerleading for the Left. Plus, co-creator Mike Judge is known for his gentle brand of satire. His mockery isn’t mean-spirited. He finds the humanity behind the flawed characters, be it Hank Hill, Erlich Bachman or Butt-head.

[I never liked Beavis and Butthead, but I do like most of Judge’s other work. I don’t subscribe to Peacock and don’t plan to do so, but perhaps down the road this will be available on other platforms. — Ed]
