Left bias in PBS
I am having a great time following the lastest with Ken Tomlinson, president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and his remarks about a balanced PBS.
The Armed Forces Network radio carries about 70% of PBS programing and, as its about the only English Speaking news I can get in my car, I listen to it A LOT.
My friends on the left will decry that there is no bias at all, but as someone from the other side of the aisle, I am a little more in tune to the bias, just like they are with Fox News.
It might not be an overt bias, but I would imagine that 90% of the people that work for PBS pulled the leaver for Kerry last November (hey, they are in show business afterall) and I can't believe it doesn't work its way into their material, choices, and delivery.
Right after the November election, Science Friday had an entire show about dealing with post election depression and was essentially a 30 minute "I hate Bush" call in show.
SCIENCE FRIDAY?
