The new and improved PBS

[KafirChobee]

I was so taken back by the "scummy liberal" comment I at first thought it an error. typo.

Well, the House just voted to put back a $100million of the funds they slashed. Now, it goes to the Senate - where it is predicted that they will put the other $100million slashed back into the budget for PBS.

Seems Tommilson (ms?) the right-wing hack that was put in charge of our National independant TV failed to show some surveys he had commissioned to demonstrate the bias of PBS. What they showed (he had them run twice, second time in purely conservative red states, results were the same) that a majority of Americans see no bias and admire the objective manner of reporting (news and documentaries).

It is more a matter of the GOP wanting another channel that regurgitates their own biases, and that plays along. Rather than allowing an independant source or outlet be permitted for investigative journalism.

Still, we will see soon enough if NPR and PBS can survive the onslaught of right-wing rhertoric. They may upset their own applecart if they continue to show their real intent of silencing criticism towards their actions (political, economic, and military).

It is one thing to say something is bias (MSNBC, FOXnews, Ollie, Rush, O'Reilly, etc) and another thing to prove it.

Bill Moyer stated his opinion (s) without saying they were anything other than his analysis of a matter. Where as others (on the right) proclaim an absolute truth from their utterances.

You know, those bleeding-heart-conservative-liberalbashers.

Why would the GOP be against public broadcasting? Are they really u to some secret plot their afraid PBS will uncover? IF PBS were doing what its supposed to do please explain why only conservatives see a problem with it? You yourself took offense to them even looking to give some sort of balance to what they air. Thats pretty funny accusing the GOP of wanting another channel. Tell me how many do they have now? Of course we all no the poor democrats and libs no longer have a voice in the media. Its all a vast rightwing conspiracy.
