Expect lib kooks to be angry at another move by FNC.

[clintonh8r]

Heaven forfend there should ever be a show with a conservative perspective on the immaculately non-partisan PBS.....

[Wife of D28Man]

Yessss!

[sam_paine]

Finally something worth watching on FNC besides Britt?

[Fido969]

a storm over political influence at PBS

Wait, that can't be right. There IS NO political influence at PBS.

Isn't that what Bill Moyers said?

[McGavin999]

The government has GOT to stop funding PBS. They can be as liberal as they like, but not on OUR dollar.

[Doctor Raoul]

Defund PBS Problem solved

Paul Gigot bumps.

Glad to see this. Thanks for the post. Can't wait till it goes back on air in January. Hooray for Fox! Again!

I would love to see a show on Fox, that does nothing other than pick apart the various polls, showing what the questions were, where polled, etc (how could they get such info?) and THEN sponsor their OWN polls, showing exactly how and what was asked, etc. Might educate some people. Might come up with how crooked some of the "pollsters" are,how the Dems are using them, once again, to shape public opinion, even when they are losing elections.

Wouldn't it be unfunny if the Dems, now realizing that they are losing judicial influence as well as electoral influence, are turning to "polls" to drive their agenda?

I assume Tomlinson lost his job over promoting this not conservative, not liberal but merely HONEST show on PBS.

Paul Gigot seemed so out of place with the likes of bill moyers, the washington week in review crowd, et al. on the Pure Bull Sh*t network.

The amazing thing is that as a young man in the pre Rush days I watched washington week in review and thought I was actually politically aware. A mere babe in liberal political woods.

PBS stations in eight of the top 30 markets didn't run the show at all, and four ran it in the middle of the night, the Journal said.

Yessireee, no political bias at PBS.  Uh-huh.

[Revolting cat!]

The Journal reported detials of this divorce a week or so ago on the editorial page. (It may be on OpinionJournal.com, I dunno.) It is an outrage, really, showing how unaccountable PBS is. This is related to the ouster of Kenneth Y. Tomlinson.

I knew James Taranto, the voice of opinionjournal.com, when he was a user on my BBS in the last 1980s. A bit of a brush with fame, before we knew it would happen.

He came on my system as "THE BOOD" and wrote a mix of very rude and very insightful posts. I liked him. Of course he shared my poltical views, and it looks like as my views have shifted over time his have shifted in about the same way. I'm very pleased that he managed to get what just about anybody would have thought would be his dream job. I hope he's very happy with it.

I dropped him a line once when I realized "Hey, I knew this guy!" but never heard back from him. Pity.

PS Ambrose, you can ping any other ex-DABBS users who might be wandering around here.

" ... PBS. They can be as liberal as they like, but not on OUR dollar."

Dittttoooooo. Is it impossible to get a report on their tax funding? Aren't they "non-profit" and because of that, we taxpayers CAN get a hold of their funding records??? I have heard, over the years, that that is an impossibility. Say it ain't so.

It will be nice to see Varney, Gigot and Dorothy Rabinowitz together again.

I just heard a report from steve centanni, fox news, that the Pentagon was writing positive stories for distribution to the proliferating media outlets (much of it radical) in the Arab world . Eek!

So what. Ever hear of Radio Free Europe. They were paid to broadcast the truth to the people who needed to hear it the most.

A new season will start on Fox News Channel on Saturdays in January.

God, I hope they don't stick it in that Saturday morning business block. Those programs have become so annoying....

My local PBS station had "Journal Editorial Report" on at 2 AM last week. If it weren't for TIVO it would be hard to prove how unbiased and balanced PBS has become. (/sarcasm off)

[FOXFANVOX]

Hey M. Working on homework?

I used to see them on CNBC, I think, and I liked their reasoning, and I especially like the perspective of Dan Henninger. Always seemed well founded.

They will be an asset to FNC.
