PBS stands for Public Bulls____.Station.

I listened to the PBS interview of Dana Milbank about his new "expose" of Glenn Beck, Tears of a Clown. According to him Beck is a very dangerous man who is influencing middle America with distortions of history. Beck supposedly said that the Dark Ages ended in the 17th century and that we bought Alaska in 1950. Now I often watch Beck and have never heard him say either, but even if he had, it would hardly be considered a "dangerous recasting" of history. The other thing Milbank says Beck lied about was his accusing a great American, Woodrow Wilson of supporting eugenics. Milbank is either lying or he knows little of US History. It is common knowledge that Wilson supported Eugenics. When he was governor of New Jersey he signed a brutal sterilization act designed to prevent defectives including simply poor children from procreating. He wrote of the need to improve “racial qualities.” Hitler sent members of his inner circle to America to learn more about how racial purity might be advanced through eugenics. The most outrageous accusation, thought, was that Beck was inciting violence, calling conservatives to arm themselves for a great revolution. Beck is, of course, totally committed to the Gandhi and King camp. You may not like Fox News, but always air both points of view. Not PBS and our tax dollars support their distribution of crap.
