You're right, of course. But I've found that there is a disconnect
between the fund-raising side and policy-making/programming. The local
affiliate is not particularly responsive to suggestions, even less so
to criticism.

You seem to have made peace with the way PBS has changed due to funding
limitations. I wish it were otherwise, but it ain't, and I'm living
uneasily with it.
