"None of the sources of funding for PBS are in great shape right now."

If only Gore had won ...
in other words she is staying as long as she was supposed to stay in her contract, or DOING NOTHING
This is like Ted Baxter- I mean, Dan Rather getting off the hook because he was retiring in a few months anyway.
What happend to disgraced people honorably resigning immediately?

So sad.
Too bad.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Now, if they would only let the whole PBS "contract" expire.
I can't think of any good they've accomplished.
A drain on public funds.
YAH GOD!!!
Why? You run cartoons in the daytime and documentaries of animals eating each other at night. It beats digging ditches.
Your agenda has been the problem all along.
Ask WJC. If he did, we'd be talking President Gore.
AMEN! If the sheeple would stop contributing to their every-other-month fundraisers, it would implode sooner rather than later!
"Why? You run cartoons in the daytime and documentaries of animals eating each other at night. It beats digging ditches."
I'm confused. Is Bill Moyers considered cartoons or animals eating animals?
"They are our natural allies and friends," Mitchell said by phone from PBS headquarters in Alexandria, Va. "I'd expect them to be more understanding.
Interesting quotes from the LA Times... http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-et-pbs14feb14,0,2529738.story?coll=la-home-nation
Why don't these people just resign immediately? Is it because they have no marketable skills?
On our local station, Bill Moyers is run during the "animals eating animals" period.
Charlie Rose runs inbetween a cartoon about a big red dog and a cartoon about an oriental kitty cat.
Sometimes the Animals Eating Animals shows are replaced with British Sit-Coms and Ken Burns Documentaries, but this is mostly during pledge drives.
I notice that when they're begging for money they never run a 6 hour Bill Moyers marathon or anything.
I watched a show on PB(M)S last night that dealt with the preservation of the Declaration of Independence and the comments made about it's 'content' were the most outrageous thing I've ever heard.
According to the people being interviewed, the Declaration was just the founding fathers 'wishful thinking' and a letter to the King of England. Their claim was that it was not a 'basis' for our Constitution.
They also made the claim that no where in the Constitution does it say that the people of America are granted any 'rights' to freedom and that Abe Lincoln 'hijacked' the beginning of it (the Declaration) for his 'Gettysburg Address' and therefore 'created' the right to freedom for 'slaves'.
Their position is that since the Founders had not included these rights in the Constitution during it's creation, then it is a 'living' document that is changeable by 'interpretation'.
The whole show was a slap in the face to our country.
Well in most of the country...Here in the SF Bay Area, they run Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" during pledge drives.
Stop Funding the Public Brainwashing Society Now!
Do you realize that's damn good money we could be spending invading Cuba? Now THAT would be a public service!
Did they already fritter away that huge nut that Ray Croc's widow left to them last year?
