Be More, um, Aggressive?

BE MORE, UM, AGGRESSIVE?
[SOURCE: Michael Getler, PBS Ombudsman]
[Commentary] This is not a typical ombudsman's column and this proposed resolution of mine for PBS is not accompanied with any specific ideas. Rather it is to express a sense that we are at a troubling time in our history and that journalists and producers of news and public affairs programs who have access to the nation's airwaves need to ratchet up their determination to challenge, to explore and to cut through spin. And, it seems to me, that public television and its 350 independent but affiliated stations may be able to play a special role, both in making lots of voices, including new ones, heard and in stirring some sort of national dialogue about these troubles, broadcast soon and in real time.
