Bias at PBS
Re “Executive at CNN Taking Helm at PBS” (by Elizabeth Jensen, Feb. 7): I’ve watched KCET programming move progressively to the left, and with the naming of Pat Mitchell as president of PBS, that liberal bias appears likely to accelerate.
The recent interview of President Clinton on the “NewsHour” exemplifies the liberal bias on PBS programs: a softball interview designed to provide a forum for Clinton to do what he does best--spin and lie. Obvious, tough follow-up questions were never asked.
Mitchell’s position in the political spectrum is clearly identified by her association with Jane (Hanoi) Fonda and her membership on the board of Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute.
