Trumped Art

Sometimes the distinction seems blurred between the two PBS series, American Masters and American Experience. It has come to light that the recent Masters installment about Art Spiegelman was censored to remove a mention of Trump that associated him with fascism.

Giving in to Trump, especially pre-emptively, is pointless. Doing that will get you nothing. Harvard University is refusing to go along, but it has the financial resources to resist his authoritarian edicts. Everybody else will have to hang on until he’s out of office. Which will be four years from now, if we’re still a democracy by then.

One thought on “Trumped Art”

  1. I thought PBS had a pair. Yes, I understand they are heavily funded by large corporations, some who unbelievably may be pro-Tanning Bed Man.

    Why are previously tough anti-Trump institutions caving in droves? Wal-Mart Mart has always loved his fat, er, I mean, loved him. But today I spent TWICE AS MUCH on pretty much the same household expenditures I bought last month.
