Edited on Wed Jan-13-10 06:34 PM by clear eye
come from an emailed action alert I received, and are not online--so no link.
We got Moyers back on the air by viewer feedback a while back, so maybe the petition will do some good and we'll see another similar program in the PBS lineup in the future. Of course, individual calls and emails to their viewer contacts would work even better than a click and send petition.
I understand your frustration. Other than the occasional nature program, there is precious little I watch on PBS besides Moyers and NOW.
