PBS Struggling Amidst Conservative Criticism
John Tierney and Jacques Steinberg write in the NYT about PBS struggling. The president of PBS, Pat Mitchell, plans to step down this year. PBS is begging for money from tight wad conservatives in Congress who erroneously think its a bastion of liberal programming. Cable networks compete with PBS on the programming front and corporations are spending less on "image advertising." So PBS is being squeezed by all sides.
