1. Good luck..............

I know this is a bit late for the final Moyers episode, but I wanted to sound in any-who. We are fighting an extreme uphill battle for the public media here in WV. WV Public Broadcasting has walked in lockstep with the continual rightward-moving, puff-piece journalism that NPR and PBS has exhibited. Public broadcasting in this country has become as ineffectual as the networks. I mourn its death.

For example, I called and complained when many PTV/NPR affiliates were broadcasting the 9/11 hearings earlier this year, but WVPB decided not to. I talked directly to the Program Manager, James Muhammed, and he basically said that he did not consider the hearings newsworthy enough to broadcast, and that WVPT would continue with its normal weekday programming and WVPR was keeping its ever-present classical music on for the duration of the hearings.
