Responding to the PBS telecast of the Mark Twain Award to George Carlin: I just watched the super presentation on PBS honoring George Carlin and the Mark Twain Award he earned. However, I was extremely dismayed and disappointed in Bill Maher's opening dialog, in particular, the demeaning and un-necessary slams on President Bush and Gov. Palin. I stuck with the program and found his to be the only out of place comments made, and for that I am grateful.
I listen to NPR and watch PBS and am constantly reminded of how left- wing slanted it is, and the Maher comments tonight just proves it again. Too bad, as most of your programming is first class . . . too bad you cannot keep from showing how your company really feels about our great country. In these tough times, I hope they cut out your government funding and you have to go it alone. Mike Carnevale, Lake Havasu City, AZ 1. Does this moron think that George Carlin was a conservative? Did he ever watch Carlin's HBO specials, especially later in his career? 2. Has this guy ever been on FAIR's web site, watched/listened to Amy Goodman or read a lefty blog and still think that public broadcasting is "left-wing slanted?" (Although he'll think that Goodman is PBS/NPR when she isn't.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
