"I did not say that. It would be nice to remove the propaganda filled NOW from the airwaves"

Why? If you don't like it, don't watch it. Tou can also watch "Tucker Carson Unfiltered" or "The Journal Editorial Report".

I do agree with your statement about using government funds to further propaganda. Unfortunately the Bush administration has pushed this to a high art. Not only with the pundits for hire and the infomercials, but the carefully scripted, screened and filtered Town Hall meetings for his Social Security plan.

As far as the balance on PBS, why not look at the CPB? They constantly take polls and run focus groups. Here is what they have to say

Measuring Public Opinion

The Public Broadcasting Act directs CPB and its board to solicit public comment regarding how well we are meeting our obligation to ensure objectivity and balance. For this reason we commissioned two polling firms – the Tarrance Group and Lake Snell Perry & Associates – to conduct a nationwide survey and a series of focus groups to further explore this issue. The studies demonstrate that the majority of the U.S. adult population does not believe that the news and information programming on public broadcasting is biased. The plurality of Americans indicate that there is no apparent bias one way or the other, while approximately one-in-five detect a liberal bias and approximately one-in-ten detect a conservative bias.

Do you have any contrary evidence?
