Can someone explain this to me? Is it extortion...
...on the part of our current administration?

WASHINGTON - The Public Broadcasting Service is hiring an ombudsman and revising editorial practices in the face of criticism that its programming has given short shrift to conservative views. Changes approved by the PBS board now go to the service's funding organization, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, for its consideration, and millions of dollars in revenue for PBS could be at stake in the corporation's review.

WTF??

2. Great starter list, but sadly tens of millions haven't noticed the obvious
or, more likely, don't care.
