PBS has made some changes that get too little attention from the people. PBS has been receiving increased complaints for airing religious programming and documentaries on WWII, supposedly glorifying war.
PBS is not a new conservative bastion by any means, but there has been some movement toward presenting more balanced programming choices. More should be welcomed.
Tonight PBS will air "Return of the Taliban" (

I stumbled onto one of their WWII documentaries and was quite surprised. It didn't 'glorify' the war so much as it showed what actually happened per history books I read way back when.
Likewise the NOVA segments about aviation were excellent as well...
Hope the trend continues; nice to see a few of those tax-funded grant dollars going in the right (literally) direction.
