PBS Palin Poll - PLUS

PBS has a short video and Head to Head on Sarah Palin on their website. Also included is a poll that asks: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP? You don't have to give your name or email address in order to vote. It's very simple.

Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

This interview does not make Palin look bad. And this is note worthy because it is a PBS video - that's Public Broadcasting. I get upset when people tell me that the public radio/tv that I prefer is *liberal* media, and is skewed to only represent *liberal* ideas. I find that public radio discusses timely topics in an intelligent and calm manner, without unfounded accusations. Why some people consider the political ramblings of some sports caster over a schooled journalist is beyond me.

I think that without public broadcasting, people and topics are not often adequately discussed. Public media tries its best (and does) to represent both sides of all issues. It allows people to make informed decisions based on a number of factors, rather than an emotional decision based on anger or fear.

For example, here is a complex problem quite nicely explained in a 40 minute discussion.
