PBS Statement Regarding October 3 Presidential Debate Seems like Romney's desire to cut federal funding to PBS should be a rather unpopular one across the board, but I'm seeing more humor in response than anything else. Maybe it just needs to sink in?

http://www.pbs.org/ombudsman/2012/09/the_disaster_that_keeps_on_giving_1.html Three years ago, the PBS Ombudsman, Michael Getler wrote about Architects & Engineers For 911 Truth's "Blueprint for Truth': "on a personal level I find the idea embedded in 'Blueprint' of a government conspiracy to...

Seeing as we had a similar concept thread posted here awhile ago (the one about having ol' scary nails on the new show by Montel) I'm posting this here. At the moment, the PBS Poll shows 49% YES and 49% NO to the question "Is Sarah Palin qualified to be the Vice President of the United States."...

Finally had a chance to see the Nova program on the Dover school case. Very interesting and well done. Disheartening that inspite of the effort to explain what science is and isn't and why ID and Creationism fail the test...proponents of ID are willing to ignore the explaination or the...

Well, the first of the pro-athiest stuff from England is finally starting to appear in the US. A Brief History of Disbelief just debuted, on Detroit PBS anyway, last night. They ran a big disclaimer explaining how this was from 2005, and they were finally showing it in the US with big, weighty...

I just watched the Emergence theory segment from the July 10th episode of NOVA and I was riveted. This is a fascinating area of research. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommended books/sites/resources I could use to delve deeper?

"Of course, this isn’t the original handle, which was eaten up by termites many years ago, and I had to replace the axe-head, too, since it rusted away. But it still occupies the same space!” Well put. Does remind me of Terry Pratchett's "Fifth Elephant" And the Scone of Stone. Of course, as...

Anyone catch this last night on PBS? I use to enjoy when 60 Minutes would do a expose segment on some sleazy scumbag. At least it only lasted for about 15 minutes or so. Last night, the Moyers thing ran at least 90 minutes (maybe longer, I quit watching). Somehow the non-stop garbage and...

program description. So far, a bit annoying, at least for a behaviorist. Lots of "the split between mind and body" stuff, and how we are finally looking at the mind... Well, no. We are organisms, dammit, not physical organisms with some non-physical part. I just don't want to hear that bad...

FYI: three part series premieres July 11th Guns, Germs and Steel on PBS website

PBS is airing a special called "Crashing the Parties 2004" sometime the 29th or 30th (check local listings). They'll be covering the candidates who have been excluded from the debates: Nader, Cobb, Badnarik, and Peroutka. For me, this will be my first look at Peroutka, the Constitution Party...

Last night I caught the last half hour of Unlocking the Mystery of Life on PBS. The 30 minutes I saw was completely one-sided in favor of ID, so I was wondering if there was any balance in the first half. Then I went to TV guide on-line so I made sure I had the right title for a post, and...
