Frank Luntz to analyze on PBS Democratic forum: Call PBS
Frank Luntz will be the analyst following the Democrats "debate Thursday. Please call PBS and give them your considered thoughts on this. To me it is like Hitler commenting on a Jewish gathering in old Germany, but I may be a bit extreme.

1. Only the righties think NPR is Leftist anymore.
BushCo "republicanized" the Corporation for Public Broadcasting a couple of years ago. This move just allows them to host the debate in a way that allows Bush's Backwash to say it was fair, because the "leftist" broadcaster tempered it with a right-wing moderator.

2. NPR is very subtle with their shots
They did a nice little hit job on John Edwards this morning. Our local guy got a 'Democratically led failed congress' shot in last wednesday. It is not accidental nor a slip of the tongue.

3. Done!
...emailed this to both:

Dear Ms Kerger and Mr. Kendall:

I am disappointed that PBS is including Frank Luntz, a right wing nut, in your Democratic debate lineup. While I am a liberal, still I have respect for a few conservatives, but this man is beyond help. I just wish for once, you would consider someone with some intellectual insight and credibility, not someone who is a wing nut. I want to hear some honest insight and observances, not framing sound bites.

(Name, address and phone included)

4. I don't think mail to PBS will work
I think mail to Edwards will. He was the fist to pull the trigger on the fox debate. If he did it again, he would seal his position as the netroots choice.
