Why PBS is the Shizznit

I worked at PBS headquarters for about a year or so -- part time while I was in law school, and then for a bit the summer after graduation. It was THE BEST job I ever had, and I say that, even loving my current job ... a lot. As an organization, they have a lot to teach other companies about living the mission. And so, I'm always surprised at how hard it is for PBS to garner guaranteeed funds from Congress every year, and how people decry their programming as left wing and whatnot. It struck me tonight that, FOX was airing a re-run of Gossip Girl while that left-wing craziness that is PBS was THE ONLY station I searched that was airing a Memorial Day concert honoring soliders, men and women, lost in battle. Interesting.
