What fresh heck is this ! Sucker Carlsen on PBS ???
Just heard the first part of a promo on PBS and it goes,

" if a person doesn't speak clearly when they are telling you something they are eother lying or don't know what they are talking about ......"

OK ya got attention and as the gaze switches from the computer to the TV thinking this has got to be about bu*sh and the time it is going to be on will have to be noted.

Freakin NO, it's that little puke from faux tuckeerrr carlson.

Did GE decide not to fund a third show by that lying McCrocklin ?

This is saying PBS is gonna have the jerk on a regular show every week like Washington weaklings.

Is this news ? the sewage between PBS and faux is going to start flowing both ways now ?

1. Yes, this is PBS's appeasement to the right...
... for having Bill Moyers on (part of their "fair and balanced" routine), even though Moyers is retiring.

And, yes, the sewage now flows both ways. Up and down.

2. And even after Moyers leaves " NOW " he should still use a remote starter
on his car and people like Sucker C. gets to go to all the best parties and joke about all the ignorant OFUs that go willingly to fight and get blown up in Iraq.

cripes how does scum like this manage to keep on this side of the dirt with respectable people.

Yikes it was just on again. Cripes it starts on the 18 th. !!!!!!!

Is this guy switching teams ?

His little talk could be transcribed and used as a Kerry commercial against bu*sh.

6. This completely changes the...
...political atmosphere of PBS...which has been fairly neutal up until now. They're bringing partisan politics to the Public Broadcasting System in order to change and then destroy it.

8. This is HOW they "work the system"
Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 07:02 AM by SoCalDem
They have infested NPR,the ACLU, the Sierra Club, League of Women Voters,and any number of other organizations that "used to" present facts..

These are the whiny crybabies who scream at the top of their lungs.."Librul Media", while THEY control 99%...but they are not happy with 99%... They simply MUST have 99.9999999%, so that truth and facts are so drowned out and scarce, that no one can find them..

C-Span is a prime example of this too.. Most of their "programming" is Heritage/AEI/ and other rightwing "presentations".. Any time they "need" a guest, they just call downstairs and a "FauxFriend" will be right there..

When a liberal is on, he/she usually has a "counterpart" on right then, or equal time given to one... BUT when they have a rightwinger on who sits there and trashes Kerry for an hour, the next "guest" is usually some foreign embassy employee who talks about boring things...or a person who comes on to talk about some bland subject..

CNN has mostly rightwingers as "hosts"...MSGOP is rightwing...

They spent 9 years trashing Clinton when there was a democratic senate, and white house, so they cannot use the excuse that they offer favorable coverage to the party in power.. It's a lie.. Rightwingers always get the last word..the loudest word.. and the door is always open to them..

When was the last time we saw democrats (vocal ones) on shows on a regular basis??? NEVER..

9. fascist infiltration of every institution
and then they undermine it and turn it into one of their tools.

That's what's happening at PBS.

Better that it NOT accept government funding than that it become just one more voice in the right wing hate broadcasting network.

10. Just a freakin minute,
The new show featuring Medved had been a contender for
the Friday night slot taken by Carlson’s show. PBS and CPB
funded both pilots last year as they sought right-leaning
programs to balance Now with Bill Moyers.

How is it that Now was not finally some balance against the McCrocklin
groupees and his other "one on one" show ?

This is totally beside the point that those two shows are all opinion fests with little or no facts and information offered. "NOW" has a few minutes comentary maybe a couple times a month. Where is the balance in that ?

Dang these creeps, do they never think that someday they will go far enough that someone will snap and go postal on them ?
