That's their MO. Run shows that people actually like to watch like "Red Dwarf", or "Dr. Who" during their pledge drives, then run their usual tripe the rest of the time. Or they'll run a concert and interrupt it three or four times to beg for donations. I remember a Carol King concert a few months back that they interrupted 4 times, for begging and pleading, and these weren't brief little commercial time outs. They dragged one out to nearly 10 minutes! Completely ruined the rythm of the concert, and I love Carol's music.
Exactly. The only time PBS is really worth watching is during pledge drives. Once the drive is over, it's back to leftist/multiculti propaganda about the neverending crimes of heterosexual peoples of European descent. And as for Bill Moyers, I loved his series with Joseph Campbell. But aside from that, he's an arch liberal who was a tool of one of the worst Presidents in American history (LBJ).
