A Real Public Service

Got a media email from the Independent Women's Forum:

IWF visiting fellow Leslie Sanchez will be a guest on the PBS program "To the Contrary," airing this weekend. Leslie will be discussing humanitarian and development assistance in the president's proposed 2007 budget, new polling that suggests the Bush administration is losing support among women and minorities, and the increasing demand for part-time jobs for working mothers.

I checked the Channel 11 schedule online, but couldn't find it so did a search.

It's on at 5:30 am Saturday morning, under the Friday evening schedule, of course.

So the public television people here have buried this show. You'd think if they were really serving the public in a state like Illinois, airing a contrary opinion would be a real public service.

UPDATE: IWF vice president for policy, Carrie Lukas, will be a guest on the C-SPAN program "Washington Journal" airing live on Sunday morning (should be at 6:30 am Central). Carrie will be discussing the news of the day.
