[Sosfbay-discuss] PBS sponsored by Chevron

[Eric A. Meece]

Is anyone as sick as I am of hearing those propaganda pieces for Chevron on the PBS newshour almost every night? How can they be an unbiased public news source, and depend for their money on corporate contributions from Chevron, as well as Bank of America, Monsanto, Toyota, etc.? Just about every night now they have to run a disclaimer ("note for the record that this corporation or the other is a Newshour funder"). They could get more foundation grants instead of running commercials for corporations that want to shape the news.

At their web site http://www.newshour.pbs.org at the bottom you can click on feedback and send them an email. Anyone want to follow me and do this?
