Hope Ann has a golden parachute clause when pbs gets defunded.

POWNED APRIL FOOLS
And in related news, ESPN will be adding a series “Hitting the Links with Rush”, while NBC’s morning show will now feature Michael Savage offering personal advice as well as commentary on the world scene.
Now that's entertainment!
Said an indignant Bill Moyers: "Public broadcasting is ours. The American taxpayer bought and paid for this as a gift to liberalism. Who do these right-wing ideologues think they are? We had to tolerate Bill Buckley in the beginning and it was a huge mistake. Lyndon warned me the SOB would be taping those damn shows forever and we gave the guy free rein to deconstruct us for another 26 years after Lyndon died! 'The Great Society this, the Great Society that. Ronald Reagan thinks this, Xerxes said that.' My God! Never again! It's outrageous to think conservatives have any say about the operation of public broadcasting. Just pay the bill and shut up!"
While I'm sure Moyers thinks this, he isn't that stupid to say it in public.
The interesting thing is that if this were real, PBS would actually doing some bold,groundbreaking, legitimate and useful journalism, which it has been giving lying lip service to for decades.
The fact that this is April Fools Day wouldn’t have anything to do with this story, would it?
awww.. was I punked?
Its true but BLS will never say.
April fools.
CPB is scared that its funding will be pulled so it’s “discovered” there is another side. Since I seriously doubt that we’ll be able to get it defunded any time soon, this may not be a bad stopgap measure, albeit pathetically transparent.
Is that before or after Humility in Practice with Barack Obama?
yes, but did you have tell that to everybody?
This was fun..
