POPS The Unfair Leftist Slant Of Tax-Funded PBS Despite taking federal money from all taxpayers, PBS stations across America often air programs and documentaries that tilt decidedly to the left. The report concludes with some simple recommendations for public broadcasting executives. Since public television is supported by taxpayers of all political stripes, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting ought to live up to its mandate to monitor content for objectivity and fairness.Calling for impeachment of Republican presidents with one-sided panels doesn't help make PBS look fair . If public broadcasters want to moderate presidential debates, its moderators ought to display fairness and balance toward both political parties. If the system funds liberal filmmakers, it ought to fund conservative filmmakers as well, and not just serve as a political organizing tool for one side. The nation's PBS stations should reflect the diversity of its whole audience.
