Where your tax money goes - to Liberal BS PBS - Clean up the bias at the 'News & Editorial'!

Where your tax money goes - to Liberal BS PBS (August, 2008)
 
Clean up the 20% garbage at the PBS! Do not mix them with the majority of 'good programming', the "news" and current "editorial" parts are totally unprofessional!
 
The PBS & NPR problem of having one sided biased agenda whenever reporting or editorializing news and current events.
 
PBS says it's "independent", Huh?
 
PBS has a banner about 'Vote 2008' that describes itself as "independent".
 
 
TIMING:
 
Can anyone come up with an explanation why the next 2 "documentaries" had to be aired just so close to the elections?
 
1) Last weekend [beginning of August 2008], liberal Bill Moyers was busy in his [Frontline] program on Reed's scandalous past (with Abramov), where at the end of it he makes sure to finish off with a "warning" line that : Jack Reed is sponsoring a John Mccain weekend, Is that an important of the 'Frontline' "objective" documentary? or is it blatant anti-Mccain propaganda?
 
2) After above Bill Moyers 'Frontline' PBS had another anti Republican bombshell, a film called "Bush's War", I couldn't see all of it but at least two comments:
A: Each time there's a difference of opinion and two sides of the coins are being brought up, the narrator "picks" the one he chooses to be the "decisive" line.
B: When he comes to the pivotal points in the Iraq violence he chooses the words: "resistance", never the suitable 'terrorists'  (or other) term of thugs' crimes against humanity, that are targeting unarmed men, women & children, this attempt to make these low life criminals look like some "political" movements, is not only dis-reporting but despicable effort of butchers'-ass-licking, of the lowest of its kind.
Again, you can't help but wonder why these damning films where aired so soon to the elections if not the obvious to make people nauseous of the Republican party. 
 
 
THE SPIN ABOUT OIL
 
On Sunday [August 10, 2008] the same Bill Moyers on his 'Frontline' he made the issue brought up by Newsweek about the 'poverty business', the phenomenon that people find to make money of off poverty and off the poor.
A great matter and case you might say, yes, until he starts to project his left bias, as he has his guests over that start complaining about [the Democrats and] Obama's failure in the economy, Bill Moyers tries to shift the atmosphere to bash Mccain instead, after making sure the guests are brought to the wind of anti-Republicans he (feels assured enough so) he then shows a clip (by Foxnews) of Newt Gingrich that he projects that within announcement of drilling (Drill here, drill now) the gas prices will automatically fall, as speculators of the oil stocks would be effected by it.
[Immediately, there's a banner on the bottom with the words "The oil drilling debate", How did the case against making profiting off of poverty get altered?]

Bill asks the guest Dean Baker (of "CEPR") if that's true, Mr. Becker answers that the projective oil we will be able to "get" is small, whether this is accurate or not is not the issue but, still he hasn't answered the point raised by Mr. Gingrich which is that psychologically, the gas price will fall down as soon as news of drilling gets the 'go ahead'.

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/08082008/transcript3.html
 
Of course one sided Bill Moyers didn't repeat and refocused the question, he doesn't want to hear the true answer, much less, he doesn't want the American people to hear the truth, that's PBS - BS for you.
 
Truth is that gas prices already started to go down because of Mccain pro-drilling and influencing Obama to agree partially to it.
 
The truth is that the control of our money to PBS by one small group [when it comes to "news" and "editorials", too bad they mix it in with good programming, that makes it all even more venomous] of radical lefty "intellectuals"  has been so unfair and so unjust for far too long.

One good thing, PBS has a very small audience.

Even if they ever decided to take a “balanced” approach and ditch the blatant leftism, it’s still State media. There’s no excuse for it...gov’t should absolutely not be involved with or have any sway over the airwaves (that means flush the FCC while we’re at it).

For a counter argument, see Iran, Korea, Cuba, China, the Soviet Union, etc.

Yup! Protect the shores (Defense); Maintain foreign embassies (State); Coin the money (Treasury). This is just about the limit on what our Federal Government should be doing. The Tenth Amendment is just a memory now.....and has been for a long time.

Good question. I am all for the government getting out of it. I bet it wouldn’t stand on its own without gov funding.

Next we have to convince the sponsors that they give money to a journalism with ONE agenda on its mind.
