"But they AREN'T doing that, are they?"

Answer: Yes, they are. PBS's Lehrer does it every day (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread).

But then, PBS's budget is under constant threat...by the Neocons, of course.

Have you no suspicion, man?

Depends on who "they" is.

I'd expect PBS to be better in this regard, actually.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
