The following was emailed to Az PBS as a complaint to their programming and political position on April 20, 2021, the subject was TWO LIES!
I am outraged as a taxpayer helping to support this corrupt enterprise called "public" TV!
LIE ONE: How dare you discuss and support the concept of "systemic racism" as if it exists and is true. IT IS A LIE!! It is a provable lie because we had systemic racism in this country when I was a child in the 40's and 50's so I know what it is and what it looks like. IT IS GONE!!! None of the purveyors of this lie can produce any evidence of what systems are in place that are racist. Saying outcomes aren't equal is no proof at all, intellectually lazy and frankly stupid! The ONLY area where there may be a system that is racist is in college and university admissions whereby Asian and white students are routinely discriminated against.
LIE TWO: Climate change is not primarily man-made. Only a very small part (less than 5%) of any small amount of warming that has occurred in the last century is due to man-made CO2 emissions. Thousands of scientists and many books are available to PBS to cover why and how we have been lied to now for decades. EDUCATE YOURSELF....before you spend 3 hours of taxpayer time and money promoting that brain-washed child from Sweden's irrational rant....man hasn't caused climate change and CAN'T FIX IT!!
The unbridled irresponsibility of promoting these two positions borders on the criminal. Not only that, it is partisan as it is obvious that the country is split down the middle on these two issues politically and therefore to take a position supporting the leftist agenda on these two issues means you are stealing money from half the country...that also borders on the criminal.
I will be sending a copy of this email to the board of the CPB!
