one comment from the article:
>>I have mixed feelings about WGBH. Kind of like that feeling you’d get watching your mother-in-law drive over a cliff in your new Cadillac. They have some of the best programing on TV but they promote such a far left agenda that I must hesitate when thinking of contributing money. Bill Moyers must go.

>>WGBH “begging” while having a huge, new, garish building is like the Queen of England taking a city bus. It doesn’t fit the image. SELL the building, fire the over priced management talent that alienated your loyal base, and get back to basics. It is simply bad management. The building was a public afront to their image of austerity and integrity. It’s too bad.

>>20 years ago I was a regular contributor to WGBH. Today, however, I don’t rely on the station for any programming. The cable channels, including History, Discovery, CNN, Biography, etc, and the Internet, provide far more information and entertainment than any single network or outlet. As a result, I no longer feel any need to support WGBH, other than by my taxes.
Have you ever seen the UN-like NPR headquarters in Washington, DC? Do you know about the outrageous salaries PBS pays its executives, and did you know Bill Moyers has “privatized” his program and profits from it, while continuing to enjoy taxpayer subsidies for its production? He has made millions of dollars. Ditto Sesame Street. In fact, the profits from Sesame Street products could support the entire network, if they hadn’t been privatized, too.
