"Which means even according to the sources you choose to use about twice as many people think PBS is biased to the left at to the right." Umm, Tim, twice a small number is still a small number. So I guess you are advocating that the 20% who see a liberal bias should dictate changes to an entity that 70% sees no bias, or aren't sure if there is bias? Is this some sort of new democratic principle? "Even PBS recognized its bias or at least took the allegations of it seriously and started a couple of new shows to express more of a conservative view." To counter-balance the Bill Moyer show that isn't even in production any more. And those shows are worse than Moyer's because they all of their guests are conservatives while Moyer usually had a mix of liberal and commentators. You see, the ones that pushed those shows through were the CPB members who are, oddly enough, Bush appointees. Tomlinson, despite his claims to the contrary, has worked with the administration on public broadcasting issues. The fact that he has chosen to lie about this raises suspicion about his motives. The Moyer's show got something like 24 complaints out of some 1200 comments in all of 2003. This doesn't sound like there is a massive swell of discontentment. In fact, it doesn't sound like any discontentment at all.
