4. She can't be too bad. She backed up the Postcards From Buster with Lesbian
parents episode being aired...

Paula Kerger, executive vice president of WNET in New York, issued a statement that “Thirteen is pleased to air the series ‘Postcards From Buster.’” The show reflects “the reality of family life in 21st-century America,” she added.

“‘Postcards’ also features various family structures found in the United States today,” she added. “A significant number of children across the United States live in a similar family arrangement, with two parents of the same sex. We feel strongly that those children deserve to have their lives and their reality acknowledged and reflected in a series that celebrates diversity.”

Kerger concluded that WNET would never withdraw programs from the air simply because the situations portrayed might not be to the liking of some viewers. We seek to present programs that fairly represent reality, and we leave it up to our viewers to draw their own conclusions, using their own good judgment and intelligence.”
