Any European watching PBS would be stunned at your characterization.
PBS is the Petroleum Broadcasting Company, heavily dependent on money
from big oil companies to fund their shows.  Their main news show,
McNeil-Lehrer, now just Lehrer, is the usual parade of Washington
suits.  Once in a rare while something with a progressive perspective
actually gets on the air, but not often.

I suppose your article just shows how deeply conservative the US has
become.
