The difference, LEJ, Kim, is PBS is publicly owned. It is supported by U. S. tax dollars. That means that people of all political persuasions support PBS & NPR. Program decisions clearly aimed at kowtowing to either the left, or right, and offending the other is not reasonable.

NBC is a privately owned corporation. As such, it has a right to pick and choose what is heard on that network and to heck what either the right or left thinks. Sponsors are far more important to NBC than listeners, either from the left or right.
