And how PBS handles it,that sean penn interview prior to, was classic PBS.

On the evening of 9-11-01, I returned to my apartment in West Los
Angeles, hoping to catch "The Evening Business Report" broadcast
each weeknight on KCET, the PBS superstation in LA.
I wanted to see if the destruction of both WTC towers, the destruction of
part of The Pentagon, and an attack on world travel and commmerce
(stymied as best could be done on Flight 93), was going to simply
melt down the US and/or the world economy.

I got home in time, flip on the TV...
And here's FREAKIN' BILL MOYERS and some nice, low-key guy
(ex-pat from Afghanistan) basically saying "Please, don't nuke
my country".
In other words: America has a second Pearl Harbor..."we at PBS gotta'
make sure the world is safe for Muslims!!!!"

At that moment, I was very happy that I'd never FREELY given PBS
a bloody red cent.

I did have compassion for the ex-pat Afghan. His home country has
been through h-ll and back.

But PBS...never a freely-given cent!!!!!!!!!!
