First it was NPR sacking Wan (at the sight of Muslims) Williams for no apparent reason except NPR execs are a bunch of rabbits. (Apologies to rabbits everywhere.)
To summarize:
NPR=Not Particularly Rational.
Now PBS has Texas-Chainsaw-Edited Tina Fey’s acceptance speech for the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
(Apparently there’s nothing funny about Sarah Palin rape-kit jokes.)
So, to summarize:
PBS=Plainly Bowdlerized Stuff.
Hey, public broadcastniks:
There’s a public broadcost to this craven behavior. Check next year’s budget for details.

It’s true that public broadcasting sometimes behaves strangely, but I think its just an overreaction to a private media that tends too far in the other direction. In their zeal to have standards (unlike corporate media), they sometimes overemphasize those standards.
In either case, I’d rather have a media outlet with standards and the goal to inform, rather than the corporate media who are just there for ratings and entertainment.
During the fund-raisers on channels 19 and 43 (still called “channel 2” and “channel 44” although they haven’t broadcast on those wavelengths for a year-and-a-half), I describe that operation’s call letters WGBH as “We’ve Gone Bonkers Here”.
You don’t know the half of it. Bonkers is on a good day.
