"Left Wing Bias" of PBS
L. Davis - you mean more politically "balanced" like FOX-News? would you like to see PBS join the other 95% of television that panders to the right? just what shows do you think pander to the left? (let me guess, Frontline and Bill Moyers - what else? probably absolutely nothing else!) the right wing will never be satisfied until all media stops critical analysis of the Privileged Elite and reflects only the values of the Military-Industrial Coporatocracy -- for instance the current pro-military propaganda about life on an aircraft carrier and repeats of World War II sagas.
as a Progressive Populist, i think that most of what is on PBS panders to Big Business and the profit motive -- very little is aired that isn't underwritten by a Fortune 500 company or doesn't come with a chance to purchase the DVD, a CD or a T-Shirt. there are more shows on PBS about the British Royal Family than about the Working People of America, more shows about what's old in music than what's new, and ALL about Wall Street's point of view of the economy and NONE of Main Street's (small business) or organized Labor.
Just where is the Liberal Bias?
