The answer is “It can’t.”
I don’t know what else to say about the above. Which is worse? PBS’s flagrantly partisan and anti-Trump double standard (the government-funded network had no similar warning appended to Present Biden’s hysterical and irresponsible “Soul of the Nation”diatribe, aka. “the Reichstag speech,” in which he told Americans that his political opposition represented a threat to democracy, or Fox News’ outrageously partisan chryon, which I honestly thought was a hoax when I first saw it.
Tough one. Both are so unethical that they made my brain ask for a vacation. What experts, PBS? Your experts? The DNC’s, provided the elected official being considered is a Republican? Experts on what, fearmongering techniques and speech suppression? I wish I was a contributor to PBS so I could stop contributing in protest. But Fox News…wow. Just…wow. No editorializing there! As someone who has defended Fox News against accusations (all hypocritical, fans of CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times et al, including, of course, PBS) that Fox “doesn’t do journalism” even as I personally refuse to watch it because it makes me feel stupid and unclean, I feel betrayed. How could any news organization that wants to be taken seriously broadcast something like “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.” ? That’s just a half-step or less from “Senile old fart once again gets confused in public appearance.”
At least Fox figured out that it had stepped over a rather bright line, as a spokeswoman said, “The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed.” You mean like making sure hyper-partisan morons aren’t writing the chryons? So far, there’s been no acknowledgment of wrongdoings from PBS.
But then its sister NPR blackballed me because my analysis of sexual harassment could be used to defend Donald Trump…
I’m disgusted beyond words. This is what we have to look forward to next year. It’s no way to run a Republic.

Both terrible. Of course, I’m willing to believe some stupid intern at Fox is responsible for the chyron in question. There’s no doubt the PBS stamped that more devious and disingenuous note approved with no qualms at all.
Oh, no doubt about it.
Probably like the NTSB intern who gave the names of a crashing Chinese airliner as “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow.”
From your host: What is it about “Banned” that these trolls can’t comprehend? This one even signed off, but he thinks he can just comment as if nothing happened. HE CAN’T. There’s a process for getting reinstated, but that ship has sailed.

In your opinion, are journalists, on average, worse now than they were in 1994?
This is terrible journalism, more worthy of the Jerry Springer show than a National news network.
I’m not going to lie, though, I did laugh when I saw the Fox chyron. Is laughing at it unethical? Do I need my funny bone adjusted?
Laughing way better than soo many possible reactions. Of course you might offend someone. Oh wait there isn’t a right to be offended. Carry on.
I will admit that I laughed and assumed the Fox screenshot was a Babylon Bee photoshop.
That is the thing. The Fox one works as satire.
As satire, it suggests that the Fox one is self-aware enough to know it is over the line and that it was intentional.
PBS, however, looks like it has no clue that it is saying something inappropriate.

My first guess was the same, something from Babylon Bee, or possibly Gutfeld’s show.
It works as satire, but not as news. It might be a little too close to reality for satire, though.
Maybe Fox shouldn’t have called him a wannabe dictator, but the rest of the chyron is 100% accurate reporting.
And it just so happens to be what dictators actually do.
(Fox has fired the guy responsible…)
No doubt. They have to continue to portray themselves as conservative and conservatives actually believe in accountability.
