Omigosh! Is PBS "going conservative"?? That will be the day. (BTW - FAIR originated as a lame attempt to "counterbalance" Rush Limbaugh).

Tucker Carlson is a conservative? I thought he was, once, but that was awhile ago.

PBS never was balanced..so how could it be thrown off? PUBLIC television..that means the entire public.. otherwise let's just be honest and call it what it is.. People's Broadcasting System.

"waah waah waah! I don't want to have to show both sides of an issue!!!"

yawnnnnnnn....I don't care what FAIR thinks and the only reason I care about PBS is that they force me to pay.

Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) complains

You know, in all the copy I've read about See B.S. and Gunga Dan, that name did not come up even once.

All this heavy breathing over.....Tucker Carlson? He's only CNN's version of Alan Colmes (the ineffectual ideologue who really can't get his point across).

Tucker Carlson is the same type of 'conservative strawman' the alphabet networks used for decades before the advent of cable.

He is there o look silly and ineffective as a spokesman for our side. He is the Herbie Stempel of conservative talking heads.

Unbelievable. It's time for these idiotic liberals to hop on the shut up train and ride it far into the land of grow up.

PBS is simply ahead of their network peers; they've learned the lesson of Fox. They want to keep their cushy jobs and know which way the wind is blowing. They will sell their own so-called principles out quickly for survival and ratings.

At least Herbie Stempel has brains. Carlson doesn't even seem to do his research sometimes, and as far as I can tell, I don't even think he's voting for Bush in this election.

You know your network is tilting way to the left, when your cartoon conservative strawman thinks the republican are to far to the right.

The main thing that "fair" wants is to be completely unfair to conservatives.
