As their director of marketing/development. Should I point out the hypocrisy, or say nothing on the chance that she actually learns something and moderates her view?

1. Just "switch sides" ... start claiming that public TV is liberal TV.
See what happens.

3. Maybe that's part of the new PBS/NPR "survival strategy"
Since all they care about is keeping something CALLED "public broadcasting" in existence, they'll put right-wing people in charge of it...which means that PBS/NPR insiders are just fine with their organizations turning into a taxpayer-subsudized version of Faux News.

4. She'll either see the light...
Or her head will explode.

I hope it's the former.
