The Wolf of Sesame Street: the secret corruption inside PBS� ??s news division: On December 18th, the Public Broadcasting Service� ??s flagship station WNET issued a press release announcing the launch of a new two-year news series entitled � ??The Pension Peril.� ? � The series, promoting cuts to public employee pensions, is airing on hundreds of PBS outlets all over the nation. It has been presented as objective news on major PBS programs including the PBS News Hour, BUT neither WNETnor the broadcasted segments explicitly disclosed who is financing the series --- secretly funded by former Enron trader John Arnold, a billionaire political powerbroker actively trying to shape the very pension policy that the series claims to be dispassionately covering.That leaves millions of unsuspecting viewers wholly unaware that the PBS � ??reporting� ? � they are watching is not objective news,...
