So now, PBS gives us the demented, lying, pathological Marquette professor.
Incredible.
It seems to me that this is in part a consequence of the fact that since the period you mention (the 80s), the NPR and PBS budgets have been under constant attack in Congress. I don't know for a fact that this is the result of an attempt to "pacify" their opponents, but it sure looks like it.
