we're gonna put the 'BS' in PBS

One of the few bastions of the so-called 'liberal media,' PBS, is slowly moving over to the Dark Side: the new Chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is a GOP lackey. This really means, for good, no more family-values-threatening lesbian dairy farmers on otherwise animated kids' shows, and Rush Limbaugh as the new narrator of a re-vamped, war-is-good, investigative-journalism-as-we-know-it-is-dead Frontline. I mean, the guy hired someone to keep track of the political leanings of Bill Moyers' guests. WTF?!

Lord, deliver us unto the bosom of the CBC and the Beeb...

On a somewhat related note, one of my film professors in college once referred (somewhat truthfully, if you watch on Sunday nights) to PBS as the "Petroleum Broadcasting Service," to which I just had to chuckle.
