Need a Good Laugh? PBS Says It's Not Biased

After the heated discussions of judicial filibusters, we all need a good laugh... Thanks to Pat Mitchell, Presdident of the Public Broadcasting System we have one:

NewsMax.com: Inside Cover Story: "PBS Boss: No Liberal Bias Here
The president of the Public Broadcasting System on Tuesday rejected criticism by conservatives that public TV is guilty of liberal bias, and she offered a strong defense of PBS' Bill Moyers, a target of right-wing wrath.

'PBS does not belong to any one political party,' Pat Mitchell said.

Mitchell's remarks at the National Press Club follow the disclosure that Kenneth Y.Tomlinson, the Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, hired a consultant to keep track of guests' political views on a program hosted by Moyers, who was White House press secretary during the Johnson administration.

"The facts do not support the case he makes" for political bias, Mitchell said of Tomlinson. Surveys show that the overwhelming majority of the public does not perceive bias in public broadcasting, she said.

The CPB gets appropriations from Congress for public broadcasting and is supposed to shield PBS from political influence. About 15 percent of PBS' budget is federal money.

I wonder if that survey Mitchell cites is another example of "fake but accurate?"
