Don't make me use my bare hands on you.

The quality of Nova has certainly gone down hill. I am not in favor of taxpayer support for public broadcasting anyway. |

Polls showing that PBS viewers like the programming are meaningless because if does lean left (and it does), that is who is going to be watching their news shows. I love "Mystery." I wonder if we looked at the political affiliations of those who watch Mystery and those who watch "Now" there might be a difference? |

I have not noticed any bias in public broadcasting, but most conservatives are not in favor of public funding for it so it's an effective strongarm tactic to get them to change thier format to what conservatives would prefer. |

How meaningless is this statement? "I have not noticed any bias in public broadcasting" Assuming that the person or persons saying it have their own bias, and that the entity they are speaking of has the same bias, of course this person or persons are going to say “I have not noticed any bias in public broadcasting” because to them they will be seeing the truth (according to their own bias) in the broadcasting. |

It's pretty meaningless to discuss a media bias period as it's really a matter of opinion and nobody has been able to conclusively prove a bias one way or the other. I was simply giving my personal opinion, which, I believe, is the purpose of this board. :rolleyes: |

"It's pretty meaningless to discuss a media bias period as it's really a matter of opinion and nobody has been able to conclusively prove a bias one way or the other. I was simply giving my personal opinion, which, I believe, is the purpose of this board." I sense conflict where none was intended. I specifically left your name out of my post and used "person or persons" to represent the fact that I was speaking to a point you made not you. I was unaware that people took discussion on this message board so personally - I will refrain form using any of your posts in the future so as not to cause a similar misunderstanding that may cause you to be upset. I apologies. |

Noah, Didn't Gvok begin a thread on media bias about a decade or so ago? It might be useful to bump that one up as well. |
