Right. They ran Bill Moyers off because he was too right wing.

To the extent that was ever true it's been seriously eroded by Reagan and the two Bushes stacking the CPB Board with Conservative hatchet men. Plus, ever since the Gingrich Congress slashed the funding for CPB there has been a crippling increase in the number of corporate underwriters who become less than happy when PBS runs stories critical of them.

Check this out.

I saw that documentary, it certainly did not come off as supportive of our profit based system.

Let's see, Smiley, Effil as the anchor of the Newshour, Rose (who I still like anyway), have you seen 'Need to Know'?? Sheesh.
