It won’t take long to see this proven completely:
Frontline is the best reporting on television and possibly in the world. After watching it the other night I was struck by how aggressively the show, funded by the federal government, went after the Bush administration.
[...]
Even if there is no pattern of bias this government funded entity must often report information that will portray one side of the debate as detrimental to the country (like torture approved by the president).
Our democracy benefits from open, free and well-funded investigative journalism though. A strong press is a public asset. As long as Frontline pounds on the next (hopefully Democratic) administration then I say keep funding PBS.
January of 2009… A Democrat will most likely take office…
Suddenly everything will be right with the world.
Nothing will change, but their reporting will look so much rosier…
Just wait and see.
