Tell PBS: Don’t abandon hard-hitting journalism. (n.d.). FAIR. Retrieved December 16, 2009, from http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/592/t/10115/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=2195
FAIR set up a petition to urge PBS to keep quality investigative journalism:
PBS’s mission is to “provide a voice for groups in the community that may otherwise be unheard,” to serve as “a forum for controversy and debate,” and broadcast programs that “help us see America whole, in all its diversity.” Two shows that did–Now and Bill Moyers Journal–will soon be gone. What replaces those programs will be a test of PBS’s commitment to the very foundations of public broadcasting itself. PBS should develop new programming that will be just as tough and independent.
Wow. Any more of my fav. shows go away & I’ll cancel my basic cable.
