1. Who here watches The News Hour on PBS?
I do and I love it. As for whether or not it's sources are conservative, yeah, I guess so, but they don't claim to be a liberal show, just an in depth news show and less biased than the corporate media outlets. In most cases, their sources are either experts in the field or somehow directly related to the issue at hand.

I started noticing a shift to the right in the mid 90's. My interpretation is that it's a deal with the devil to stay in existence. I thought once the pugs got both houses of congress and the white house, that public TV and radio were history. There's probably a reason that we don't hear daily attacks directed at Public Broadcasting like we did under Gingrich.

But, to give PBS the benefit of doubt, we do have conservatives in power, and most of the rest of the country is more conservative than we are here at DU. The main question rests with integrity, and I think PBS has it.
