Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather are not the only TV "icons" that are leaving the airwaves. Bill Moyers says good-bye tonight in his final installment of the PBS program Now.
Moyers presence on the public network has been so pervasive for three decades that he is often seen as the "face" of public television. A face, however, that presents only a left-wing agenda and propaganda.
Moyers and his PBS cohorts forget something very basic. PBS is required by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 as amended to present in all of its programming an balanced, fair, and non-political view of issues. PBS and Moyers, in particular, have failed to do so for more than 30 years.
Why then, does Congress and the American taxpayer continue to fund an organization that violates Federal Law each time it airs news or documentaries? It is time for PBS, CPB, and NPR to get away from the Federal trough and find its own funding. Will that happen? No!
Will PBS adhere to the tenets of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967? No.
