More proof that PBS is the turning to the dark side...
...Jeff Gannon will be featured on "In The Life" this month on PBS.

Has anyone seen it? Will they really report the truth about Gannon or will they cow to ShrubCo. hoping they get thrown a bone in the next budget go-round?

3. Here's the listing from PBS website.
Maybe he's included in the LGBT part? Or maybe Gannon's just lying?

In the Life
Setting the Record Straight
Monday, June 6, 10:00pm
CHANNEL 28 (WPT)
Janeane Garofalo hosts. Included: Gillian Pieper and Karen Pike, whose appearance on PBS's “Postcards from Buster: Sugartime” was nixed following a complaint from Education Secretary Margaret Spellings. Also: media coverage of LGBT people.

CC, Stereo TVPG

2. The hell with Gannon
He's had his 15 min. of fame. I want to see a story on his enablers.

When he gets his own news show - they have gone to the dark side.

5. Okay so Gannon is lying that he will be on this show.
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 03:49 PM by AllyCat
He says it on his own website. Why would he say he is on this show? Has anyone seen this month's edition?

On edit...just watched your clip. So why is he bragging on his website that he is "featured" on this show? Has anyone seen the show to know what they say about it?

Not on in my area so wondering what they say about it.

Garafalo is definitely NOT the darkside!

6. Counterfeit News - and a picture of Gannon! LOL!
Counterfeit News

The traditional role of a journalist has been to act as an objective observer of our culture using a standard set of ethical guidelines in their effort to report the most factual information possible. Recent controversies have highlighted journalists with right-leaning agendas and the current U.S. government’s packaging of Video News Releases as actual news, calling into question the ethical practices of journalists, today. In this segment, In the Life explores the effects of government propaganda and its influence on headline news, which exploits LGBT people to the detriment of the entire culture.
