They have a new one on Cheney and gang.

The one on China is very good also, but I'm not sure if I've mentioned it here or not.

Frontline really is the only news magazine show worth watching now. Thank Jesus for PBS.

And by Jesus I don't mean the evil bizzaro Jesus that the republican party worships, that hates fags and visible minorities.

It's no surprise that this administration has repeatedly attempted and at times succeeded in cutting PBS funding.

Yerp, watched this one a couple weeks ago when it aired. Quite interesting.

I listen to NPR religiously because I think it is the only news program (TV or radio) that actually tells full stories instead of snippets and quotes.

That being said, I do feel there is a liberal lean to the kinds of stories that are selected to air. As an example, they had a full hour of George Soros going off against all things republican with no real counter points of view being forwarded. That is annoying.

It is only natural that most, if not all serious journalists lean left. They deal every day in global realities. Conservatives can't live in reality and hold onto their ideals.

Real conservatives exist just fine in reality.

Fiscal conservatives maybe. But most of those are democrats or swing voters. The last remotely fiscally convservative republican president was probably Richard Nixon. And by fiscally conservatiev I mean actually fiscally conservative; not socially conservative republicans that think they are fiscally conservative by taking 500 million dollars out of welfare programs and replacing it with 500 billion dollars in defense contracts to design and build laser beam shooting anti communist sattelites.

Social conservatives exist in reality (I mean, you can touch them and stuff), but their philisophies don't. BUILD MORE PRISONS TO HOUSE PEOPLE THAT SMOKE POT AND TAKE AWAY WELFARE FROM POOR PEOPLE SO THEY'LL WORK HARDER AND NOT RESORT TO POVERTY AND CRIME ALSO VISIBLE MINORITIES SURE DO HAVE IT EASY NOWADAYS.
