I had the misfortune to work for a PBS affiliate. As a result, I will never again donate a single dollar to PBS. To see how funds raised by the station were misused by management would turn your stomach. Fancy catered luncheons & dinners for board members, lavish banquets & balls meant to lure high-dollar contributors (it didn't work), Cell phones for everyone at the station-and the money spent on constantly redecorating offices alone would blow your mind. I kinda went off PBS altogether after that experience. But once upon a time, yeah, I'll admit, I did like their shows.
