what would I air on PBS

I would air substantive news programs, which would always Identify sources and refuse to air unattributed comment from unnamed administration propagandists.I would always independently verify all information, and if not verifiable will never use it.I would never seek comment on Iraq from anyone who did not speak Arabic. Similarly I would not seek comment on Iran from anyone who did not speak Farsi. If I had a program called Washington week,I would not staff it with pampered millionaires,who seem to derive amusement and laughter from the serious concerns of the little people they are paid so lavishly to misinform. As you can see, following my advice would eliminate most of your news coverage. Perhaps you could donate the resources saved by their removal to doctors without borders, where we know it will do some good. Finally, I am a retired home builder, and if I were to build your home the way you report the news, you would sue me in a heartbeat. Justifiably. What's my recourse?
