My daughter was complaining of the bias at school. My other daughter was complaining about
lefty teacher bias at her school.

I wouldn't trust PBS doing a rerun of Gunsmoke.

That's a little harsh in my opinion. Some of the PBS programming is
really quite good and it fills a much needed culture void that the
commercial networks can't afford. Not everyone has the same tastes in
music, theatre (or politics) and PBS does a god job covering most of
the bases. Are they totally unbiased? Heck no, but you can say the
same thing about the New York Times and the Washington Post - both
great newspapers but you have to appreciate which filter you're
looking through.

Rightie extremists tend not to like news and current events programming
on PBS because the shows go into great detail into subjects they do not
like or like to ignore. Great detail usually means the problems and
possible solutions are not presented in a black or white format, and
require thinking and analysis.

"Bias" = "...Mental tendency or inclination, esp an irrational
preference or prejudice "


"Activist" = "...a policy of taking direct and often militant action to
achieve an end, esp a political or social one"

There is a difference, most on the left don't really see the difference
though...

That's good news and bad news for us. The good news is that the
winter trade winds will start to moderate in the Carib which means we
will start getting longer weather windows for the trip back. The bad
news of course is that spring in SWFL is a nice time of the year. It
was a fair exchange however since we've had about 4 months of spring
like weather down here.

Ref the show in question
It is probably on their web site. I should have it on my DVR if the
timer gods were kind and I could burn you a copy.

BTW it looks like you may have missed spring here.. Jim Rief says this
may be the last cool front..

What exactly in the show was biased in your opinion?

None that you would get or understand, apparently. But for starters, the
Constitution that the right wing holds dearly, was founded in part
because the federal government wanted more control and taxation from the
states, something the right acts like they don't want.

The constitution is neither a right wing or a left wing document. It
is the best considered compromise from a group of really smart guys,
hammered out in an attempt to strike the right balance between federal
control and state control, and individual liberties vs law and order.
The fact that it still survives more or less intact today is a
testament to the wisdom and thought that went into the original
effort. Attempts to put a modern day political spin on the
constitution are a corruption of the ideals that it is based on.

I fully understand that the constitution isn't a right wing or left wing
document. That's why I can't understand why so many try to make it so.
It is what it is and in it's conception was to rein in the states and be
able to tax interstate commerce.
