CPB is hurt... pbs in front of the firing squad

at least in one particular part of the world, anything associated with the word public appears to be in serious danger. latest casualty: corporation for the public broadcasting. it will have to serve public with $100 million [a quarter of its budget] fewer dollars. the reason: supposed liberal bias of PBS news programming. that roughly translates to not as fair and balanced as, say CNN or FOX is. mind boggling, is it not? i shall double my donations to the nearest PBS station. [in my case WNED TV Public Television (PBS) in Buffalo, New York] i hope other canadians will do the same.

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is. -- Dan Quayle
