Bill Moyers - “I believe democracy requires ‘a sacred contract’ between journalists and those who put their trust in us to tell them what we can about how the world really works.” -TomPaine.com.

(Bill) Moyers also serves as president of the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, which gives financial support to TomPaine.com. TomPaine.com was founded by John Moyers in 1995 to amplify public-interest voices and take on controversial issues—often in coordination with regular advertisements published on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times.

TomPaine.com a Progressive website writes this on Bozell: "Tomlinson clearly has supporters. L. Brent Bozel IIl, founder of the Parents Television Council, which single-handedly filed 99.8 percent of FCC indecency complaints in 2003, had this to say:

"PBS is still a liberal monstrosity transforming the hard-earned dollars of many Bush-loving taxpayers into fire-breathing Bush-loathing programming...Conservatives wish every taxpayer dollar destined for public broadcasting in a 21st-century media universe was returned home to their wallets and purses, where it belongs."

"A one-person crusade to influence the direction of public television is not in the public's best interest. But then, Tomlinson wouldn't know what the public thinks about PBS content, because he hasn't asked.."The P In PBS Means Public 4/07/05

for the entrenched leftists at PBS who want no scrutiny whatsoever.

I won't ask for scrutiny if you don't ask for my money: deal?

The Great Society created PBS has always been taxpayer funded liberal Democrat propaganda. I say don't fuss with changing it. Eliminate it.

Any show that is worthwhile will end up on the myriad cable networks.

[Zero Sum]

Let's just scrap PBS and be done with it. Even if it actually did become "fair and balanced", that still wouldn't change the fact that it is an unconstitutional waste of the taxpayers' money.

That's odd, Janeane Garofolo was spewing on Airhead America how PBS and NPR are part of the "dominant right wing media". Wacko-wacko-wacko-wacko............

Excuse me but I need to head to the decon shower.

PBS can die swiftly for all I care. They'll only change masks (like the Hildabeast) because they're groveling for funding.

I do notice that NPR is adding more stories about religious issues and the Christian right.

Today they had a good report on the fast emerging Christian based legal foundations that are beginning to challenge the likes of the ACLU in the culture wars.

Good report. I hope the trend continues.

He asked: "Depending on the sources, Sister Joan, there have been 37,000 civilians killed in Iraq, or as many perhaps as 100,000. Why is abortion a higher moral issue with many American Christians than the invasion of Iraq and the loss of life there?"

Anyone with a non-public school mathematics education can answer that one: up to 100,000 civilians have been killed. 45,000,000 have been killed. Just count the zeros and tell me which one is worse.

Bump, BigTime!

Somewhere in the past we lost all control over our government. It has taken a life of it's own and cannot be stopped at the ballot box.

If we cannot shut down PBS, a rather simple task, how on earth can we expect to....

Get the feds to keep illegals out of the USA.

Allow non-liberal judges to get appointed

Force congress to have the same retirement system as the rest of us.

Protect and restore the full power of the 2nd and 4th Amendments.

Deport all non-citizen mudslimes.

Stop non-elected agencies (EPA, ATF, DEC, etc) making laws when that responsibility should be in the hands of "Elected" officials.

The list goes on and on, but again, folks we cannot even shut down PBS. RATS and RINOs have a lock on power and we simply supply the money.
