Great observation! Yes, the Lehrer Report is a wonderful source of non-biased news. It comes on here at 7:00 pm, instead of 6:00 pm. For one, they have an hour to discuss whatever topic they choose, where usually they do 3-5 news pieces per night. On the commercial half-hour programs they can only given a topic a slight brush over and not go into depth. Besides, I do believe some commercial advertisers hold the commercial stations to the flame, depending on if it is a right, or left station leaning station. That doesn't work on PBS and as you said....they are in business for legitimate accounting of the news.
As for my Congressman, he is pretty much on top of things. Except, I didn't like his vote for giving the banks OUR money. In the beginning, Congress voted to give the money to homeowners to save them from foreclosure. Instead it went to the banks to keep them afloat and reward businessmen for bad choices and missed placed bets in gambling. It made a lot of wealthy people, even more wealthy that should have gone bust. Where there is money in Washington, you can find dirty politics

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
