"In "The Dark Side," FRONTLINE tells the story of the vice president's role as the chief architect of the war on terror, and his battle with Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet for control of the "dark side." Drawing on more than 40 interviews and thousands of documents, the film provides a step-by-step examination of what happened inside the councils of war."

PBS Panders to Right With New Programming

9/17/04

September 17, 2004


A new public television program called The Journal Editorial Report, featuring writers and editors from the arch-conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page, will debut tonight on public television stations around the country. The show joins Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered, hosted by conservative CNN pundit Tucker Carlson, and a planned program featuring conservative commentator Michael Medved as part of what many see as politically motivated decisions to bring more right-wing voices to public television.


At the center of this controversy is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which provides significant federal funding for public broadcasting projects. Two Bush appointees to the board last year, Cheryl Halpern and Gay Hart Gaines, are big donors to the Republican Party, and do not hide their political agenda. As Common Cause noted in December 2003, Gaines raised money for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga), and chaired his political action committee, GOPAC: "At the same time that Gaines was raising money for Gingrich's GOPAC, Gingrich was pushing Congress to cut all federal funds to public TV."

At a confirmation hearing for Halperin, Sen. Trent Lott (R.-Miss.) criticized a commentary by Moyers as "the most blatantly partisan, irresponsible thing I've ever heard in my life," adding that "the CPB has not seemed to be willing to deal with Bill Moyers and that type of programming." Halperin responded: "The fact of the matter is, I agree," though she said at the time there was little the CPB could do about it.

But, evidently, there is something the CPB could do. According to Ken Auletta's investigation in the New Yorker, the calls for drafting right-wing voices were being heard at PBS. Auletta reported that PBS president Pat Mitchell met with Lynne Cheney and conservative television producer Michael Pack to discuss a possible PBS series about Cheney's children's books. Though the project seemed to stall, Pack was soon appointed senior vice-president for television programming at the CPB.

Well, it has a GOP controlled governing board, so it's right wing slant is expected.

I find the following quite interesting and revealing.

Anyone on the right who expresses an opinion that is contrary to yours excites you to post that they have gotten their ideas from someone else. Limbaugh Hannity or others. They can't think for themselves and are mind numbed robots marching the right polititcal line.
In contrast you believe your ideas to be your own. Opinions gained by life experiences and events. Shaped by reading and learning from sources of your choice. You have come to your own conclusions.

Do you see this as arrogant?

Have I mis-interpreted your posts?

Does insults and name calling make you feel superior?

Help me understand because we all know I do not think for myself.....

Fifteen months later, it was gone.

Why?

[NCclimber 0]

As a fan of public broadcasting, I don't see a particular bias on PBS. On the other hand, NPR is very biased.

I find the following quite interesting and revealing.

Anyone on the right CENTER or LEFT of the Ultra Right, who expresses an opinion that is contrary to yours excites you to post that they have gotten their ideas from someone else. Limbaugh Hannity AIR AMERICA, MOVEON.ORG or others. They can't think for themselves and are mind numbed robots marching the right LEFTIST LIBERAL GAY AGENDA polititcal line.
In contrast you believe your ideas to be your own. Opinions gained by life experiences and events. Shaped by reading and learning from sources of your choice. You have come to your own conclusions.

Most on here CERTAINLY see this as the arrogance that led us into a war by a buffon who you will RUBBER STAMP with any stupid idea he wants to follow as long as it was inspired by the NEO CON's you idolize.

I CERTAINLY have not mis-interpreted you and your fellow travelers posts

But your incessant right wing insults and name calling, certainly do seem to make you feel superior to the supposed leftist liberals who you hold in such disdain?

I HOPE this helps you understand because many of us can see quite well where you are getting your ideas.

You continually come ouyp with the words of Lush Rimjob and use them as your own??? I thought you LOVED being a dittohead....

Thanks for proving my point.

Name calling and the arrogance of knowing what others think and why.

Well done

Every bit of that fits you and several other posters here to a tee... In the interest of TRUELY fair and balanced world... you need to look in your mirror a hell of a lot more.

[rushmc 23]

This will be my last reply to you. I tried to engage in a dialog about my perceptions of your posts and you seem content to insult and call names.

I now know that only your view of the world is balanced and all other views are lead by evil does intent on destroying the world as you know it.

I am sure you will most likely consider this no loss but at least I will not be wasting my time with the vitriol you spew forth.

If you call that a dialog...

Please go reread many of your posts on here to others who disagree with you.

Not to mention when she gets inspired.

I remember quite a while back a thread about chickenhawks. It all came down to this: as sppn as she found out I actually went to theatre, she went to PM's asking how many TH I killed. Basically all what she complains being done to her dear John Kerry, she was actually doing it to me, once her moot point was given. Now, I am preparing to go for a second round, as a medic, and I can't wait to hear what she has to say about that one.

Hmm curiouser and curiouser..


First a certain poster was a NAVY seebee then an MP and then a medic all this in 2 years???

Thank you for all your service to this country.

Hold on and I will be right back with the link.

[juanesky 0]

Medic in an MP unit. Too bad you don't realize there are all sorts of MOSes/RATES in every unit.

As someone that has served, you concentrate in personal issues first instead of military facts. hmm

AS I said.. I was curious.. in my time. it was VERY hard to change AFSC or to go cross service.. in fact nearly impossible.

Times change, like in skydiving. Imagine using the pigybacks or T-10's today.

Not a conspiracy or a figment of my imagination. There are currently many programs like blue to green, etc between all the armed forces.

It is nothing a little research won't find. Even age minimum for non prior service has been raised.

And as a vet.. the fact that some right wingers here want to question my patritism and love for my country because I do not agree with this administration.. makes me suspect.. and as one of them said... a terrorist sympathizer... is just SHAMEFULL.

Shame on those of on the right who forget that this is for now still America.. and not yet your AMERIKA

I have not seen anyone attacking your service in this thread, in fact you did what you were asked to do, nothing wrong about it. It is without a doubt honorable.

When it comes about other's people service you are not happy of theirs having been CONUS based. Either way you, yourself hate the fact the GWB did not go overseas, and spew hatred against him for doing so, and basing it on simple allegations (and almost unprovable) of favoritism, while no one can reproach you having done the same exact thing (staying in CONUS) and crying foul.

That leaves me no other recourse but to laugh out loud with at your comments.
