Commercial free?

MATEA GOLD’s article on the corporate commercialization of PBS and so-called public broadcasting [“Is the PBS Happy Meal a Future Menu Item”,” Oct. 20] highlights a very important issue. True public broadcasting is supposed to be free of such corporate influence, yet in recent years it has become apparent that no one is enforcing this.

What’s next? “Healthy Kids” sponsored by McDonald’s? “Environmentally Friendly” sponsored by Exxon?
