that the right would like to trash it completely.

I really do enjoy some of the civil debate they offer. I like Shields and Brooks on Friday's NewsHour. I think Gwen Iffel does a good job of managing guests with differing opinions and those are generally civil.

If PBS becomes too one-sided, I think it gives the Repubs ammunition to limit any government funding and lessens the credibility of the programming in general.

But giving a platform to those on the far, far right is a big mistake, imo.
