I remember the NewsHour when it was MacNeil/Lehrer. I can tell you when Ken Burns jumped the shark. I watched Sesame Street before it was peppered with digital glitter (which is one of many reasons my kids don't watch it). I've listened to NPR since I was a little boy. I've never claimed to be anything but an avid consumer of public media over several decades, and I watched the decline happen in real-time. The person I responded to can't think of a single example of racial or sexual programming, which has been fairly common for the last couple of decades. I've been commenting on forums long enough to know that this conversation is going nowhere. I sincerely believe this person should just do some very simple searches on the PBS website or their YouTube channel to see what sorts of things people might find objectionable. But I'm not interested in naming an example (or three) which will be quickly dismissed. You and the other poster may not like it, but that is my prerogative. There are lurkers and other posters who may find the comments useful or may find my statements compelling.
