The liberal low lifes at pbs can never lower the stature of the great John Wayne, no matter how they try. He's the ultimate symbol of what's good in this country, as well as the greatest movie star this country has ever produced. A giant being slandered by fleas!

Every time I See a John Wayne movie made in the forties I think of my childhood, even his voice brings back memories...He was Mom apple pie and America to me.
Back when Ft. Apache was made I had an afternoon paper route in San Francisco(The Call Bulletin).. I went to the Saturday matinée and was almost two hours late for my deliveries...I got chewed out by a couple of old ladies, but what the hell....It was John Wayne!!!
They just don't make 'em like him anymore!

The PBS version of a real man is Tom Oliphant.

As much as I hate the federal entitlement program for PBS, I still watch for
"opposition research".
I won't be shocked if this John Wayne retrospective ends up having the opposite
effect desired by the PBS weasels...probably will just show a great, ICONIC
American actor. (Who could have added to his mythic status if he'd followed
the likes of Jimmy Stewart into war-time service.)
I suspect there are a few conservative moles at PBS...The American Experience
and NOVA (notably, the "Secrets, Lies and Atomic Spies") are often amazing fair
in profiling major figures (e.g., Reagan, Gen. McArthur).
And even when liberal/radical propagando is done by PBS, it often backfires. A year or
so ago when the Islamic apologist crap titled "Mohammed, Legacy of A Prophet" appeared,
even one liberal radio show host here in Los Angeles said it basically showed
how screwed up Islam is as a religion and an ideology.
