background: a gazillionaire gave PBS some money to fabricate a tv series about how the defined benefit public employee pensions were unaffordable and destroying gov't budgets.
(It's certainly a legitimate point of view, but not in this manner). This was exposed by David Sirotta in http://pando.com/2014/02/12/the-wolf-of-sesame-street-revealing-the-secret-corruption-inside-pbss-news-division/ today PBS announced they're returning the money. Which is kind of dumb, but says something about something. http://dianeravitch.net/2014/02/14/breaking-news-pbs-will-return-3-5-million-to-billionaire/ _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [email protected] [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
