30. They LEGITIMIZE Tucker Carlson when they allow him on PBS
There is an ENORMOUS difference between conservative thinkers such as Kevin Philips, and all of these vicious cogs in the Right Wing Lie Machine such as Joe Scarborough and Rush Limbaugh. It's a clear distinction. And Tucker Carlson is clearly in the Lie Machine category, but he does it without the screaming so it's not quite so apparent.

I don't want to see LIES, BIGOTRY, SEXISM and RACISM sanctioned and LEGITIMIZED by being aired on PBS. You really had to see this program to understand. I was crying, I was so frightened. Calling John Kerry a War Criminal????? This was in a polite little roundtable discussion.

I am NOT for shutting out conservatives on PBS. I AM sick of this notion that in order to "balance" progressive journalists such as Moyers we have to put on LIARS from the right.

Let's argue FACTS with FACTS, not lies and propaganda. Where is the standard of TRUTH on these shows?

I am going to look for a transcript. This was far far worse than you think.
