Private Liberal Playground is Going Public!

Republican Chairman Exerts Pressure on PBS, Alleging Biases

The irony of this headline from Monday's New York Times is that it signals this article is going to be written with a liberal slant.

The article certainly delivers.

WASHINGTON, May 1 - The Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is aggressively pressing public television to correct what he and other conservatives consider liberal bias, prompting some public broadcasting leaders - including the chief executive of PBS - to object that his actions pose a threat to editorial independence.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

The liberals are not going quietly. They know if they lose their ideological monopoly over PBS that all is lost. It's not surprising that they are kicking and screaming about efforts to bring balance to its programming.

It's about time that some political parity be brought to public broadcasting. After all, our tax dollars do help to fund it. It must present more than one side of an issue. It shouldn't promote the agenda of one political party. It shouldn't serve as a mouthpiece for liberals and the Democrat party.

Liberals are under the impression that PBS is their turf. Although PBS has been their private playground for years, it's time for that to change.

I'm glad efforts are being made to put the "public" back in public broadcasting. It's good to see that the era of the Bill Moyers PBS mindset is taking its last breaths.

Move over elites.

Public broadcasting should reflect the public, shouldn't it?
