Where Have You Gone Bill Moyers? Bush Institute to Have PBS Show
George W. Bush Institute To Co-Produce Public Television Show "Ideas In Action"

by Danny Shae


The George W. Bush Institute -- the "action- oriented think tank" that is part of Bush's Presidential Center -- will co-produce a public television show hosted by its executive director, Ambassador James Glassman, in a rare convergence of public broadcasting and a partisan research organization.

"Ideas in Action" will premiere in February and will be co-produced by Andrew Walworth, who produces PBS's "Think Tank." Glassman, the former Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy under President Bush and one-time moderator of CNN's "Capital Gang Sunday," will lead a discussion on public policy issues in front of a live audience at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He will remain executive director of the Institute.

The show will be distributed by Executive Program Services (EPS) to public television stations nationwide, including many PBS affiliates. Beginning in January, EPS will also begin distributing repeats of "Think Tank," currently distributed by PBS.

"The first episode, a discussion on pay for performance in education, includes one panelist from the George W. Bush Institute and panelists from the Economic Policy Institute and the Progressive Policy Institute.

"The idea is to discuss a difficult issue with a balanced panel," Glassman said.


"The Bush Institute has a special focus on education policy -- along with economic growth, global health, human freedom and a women's initative"

9. Contradition in Terms

"Think" tank and "Bush" Are they kidding?
Seriously, I wonder how there can be such a difference between PBS and NPR. NPR has some wonderful programs; I think of Diane Rehm and Terry Gross. News programs, too.
PBS has such pap on it. In our area we get Lawrence Welk and Gospel singers. Their so-called music specials feature the worst of sentimental junk.
Nature programs: not educational, mostly just voice-over scenes of one animal stalking another.
Old British re-runs.
Kids' programs are all right, I guess.
