I am on the mailing list for the electronic newsletter, "Quick Nooz" that goes out to the hundreds of employees of WGBH which I think is the largest Public Broadcasting station in the system. I received this yesterday.

"An e-mail petition has been circulating on the Internet for several years keeps popping up at WGBH. It calls for support for PBS and NPR programs, which are said to be facing major and eminent cutbacks in funding. It urges you to sign, and that it will be forwarded to the President and Vice President. The information in this e-mail is seriously outdated; it stems from a 1995 funding cut issue that no longer exists and should not be associated with the incoming Administration. Corporate Communications' Jeanne Hopkins advises that these petitions be ignored and deleted, and certainly not passed on to your colleagues."
