PBS and religion

This is a dated story, but evidently PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), as it is partially funded through taxes (yeah, part of the "Listener Support" is taxation) has decided they will no longer carry religious programs. Mass for shut-ins, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, that sort of thing. Some affiliates will continue with existing programs, but there will be no more new religious or "(pure) spiritual content" programs.

Well... that is, except for the Wayne Dyer new age spiritualism that masquerades as fund raising specials - and that also sell a lot of his books and videos. Oh, and let's not forget Deepak Chopra and his eastern mysticism and daily devotions. And....

Fact is, if the Daily Mass raised as much for PBS as do these spiritualists and mystics, there would be no question that PBS would encourage the program. But the Mass does not lend itself to fund raising efforts. Bye bye, Daily Mass. Bye bye, Christian programming. Bye Bye, PBS.
