Looking at America
Question:
Has anyone seen the PBS show "Looking at America", hosted by Bill Moyers? It’s aired on station KTPS (channel 28/Tacoma) at 9PM weekdays. The shows presents important issues on American life from alternatives to health care, to advertising style political campaigning, to the working poor and poverty in our country, to problems in our educational system. One one occasion, they aired a segment about political prisoners in America and Puerto Rico. It was a terrific show. Apparently Bill Moyers "Looking at America" has been banned by the Seattle channel 9 public station, for whatever reasons they may have. It seems that the same powers that be, who have come down on the NEA are also comming down on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and channel 9 isn’t airing the show. I want to urge you to check out the show. If you like it, let the people at KTPS/Tacoma know your opinion. Also challenge the people at channel 9/Seattle to air the show and confront them as to why such important issues are not being presented to the public. Peter

Around here we call it "Whining at America". Apparently Bill Moyers "Looking at America" has been banned by the Seattle channel 9 public station, for whatever reasons they may have.
Perhaps you should call them up and ask them how much the show costs them to buy. Then, write them a big fat cheque so they can buy it, and then you’ll get an intro line at the beginning of the show saying "This show made possible by Peter". MD — — Michael P.
