Even as the Senate was preparing to take up defunding PBS, the taxpayer-funded network was shamelessly airing another Trump-trashing Frontline documentary on Tuesday evening.
The online blurb to “Trump’s Power and the Rule of Law" claimed to go "inside the high-stakes showdown between President Donald Trump and the courts over presidential power. Trump allies, opponents and experts talk about how he is testing the extent of his power; the legal pushback; and the impact on the rule of law.”
Hosted as usual by faceless narrator Will Lyman, this entry was even more explicitly anti-Trump than previous Frontline offerings. Although a few defenders like Steve Bannon and especially Trump advisor Mark Davis had their say, they were outnumbered, aligned against legacy media journalists on the anti-Trump side along with anti-Trump conservatives.
The first soundbite came from a Democrat, encapsulating the show's theme. Temidayo Aganga-Williams, a Democrat lawyer for Nancy Pelosi's January 6 committee, asked rhetorically “Do we have the rule of law or do we have royal decrees?”
