PBS's Hypocrisy Revealed: PBS station opposes day-laborer center

From CEO of DC's PBS Station Mad About Day Laborers Next to Studio:

Earlier this week [August 1, 2003], Sharon Percy Rockefeller, CEO of WETA, the Washington, DC PBS station really located in Arlington County, Virginia, lashed out at the county board for voting to build a pavilion, to house day laborers waiting for work, next door to WETA's studios where the PBS NewsHour and Washington Week are taped.

"WETA balks at having day-labor shelter next door," declared the headline over the July 31 story in the Northern Virginia Journal about WETA's reaction to the Tuesday night vote by the all-Democratic county Board of Supervisors.

As can be expected, there are two sets of rules. PBS and other elites follow one set, while the rest of us are supposed to watch Farmingville and read its execrable "discussion guide" and follow a different set of rules.

The elites are able to isolate themselves from the negative impacts of their policies that they want to impose on the rest of us.

The solution is to demand accountability on the part of your elected representatives.

The specific solution in PBS's case is to stop donating money to them and encourage your elected representatives to cut their funding.
