Just as NPR is now a commercial-newsradio service on the dole, so PBS has become the definition of relentless middlebrow -- when it does not air Lawrence a-Welk. If PBS is merely to engage in a more refined form of pandering it should do what NPR should do: abandon its "public interest" spiel -- the network stopped airing real arts programming long ago -- put the stations up for sale, and become an outlet for the high-demographic schlock of A&E.
An executive quitting under pressure won't cut it.
