Thanks, Norman. There is nothing more annoying than the Suze O Show (except maybe the Oprah Show) - not only annoying, but harmful because it feeds into the stereotyping of the poor in this country.

A few Friday nights back, as I tuned to Bill Moyers, about the only thing I watch on the Propaganda Broadcasting Service, I saw that the local PBS station was going through one of its pledge drives (here in Wyoming, PBS and NPR are basically livestock "industry" and Chamber of Commerce dominated). I expected that the pledge break would end when Moyers's time slot arrived. Instead this weird infomercial, Orman's get-rich scheme, came on, and must have gone on for an hour or more. I kept hoping it would end, that they had simply pushed old Bill back a little ... but on and on it went. Dreadful. Glancing at it from time to time was just like watching late-night commercial TV as it has existed since the early 80s. I had never seen PBS stoop so low, though I admit the Burns documentaries came close. I haven't watched the station since. I almost called the satellite provider to resubscribe to the national PBS feed, but decided that it really wasn't worth a buck fifty a month just to watch Moyers, especially knowing he might be canceled at any time owing to complaints from the Christofascist right. As far as I'm concerned, PBS and NPR need to redone: COMPLETE public funding; no donations, not from individuals, corporations, or (always-biased) foundations; complete independence; complete accountability.
