Oh. My. God. My local PBS station is feeding me neofeudalist propaganda worse than anything I've ever heard out of Rush Limbaugh. They have completely rewritten Adam Smith. The 19th century never happened. Maynard Keynes was responsible for a government takeover of society during WWI. Estonia's flat tax is the envy of the world. The socialism Roosevelt introduced during the 1930s only promises maladjusted weenies false government "protection" from the vicissitudes of free markets. The New Deal and Great Society were terrible mistakes in their entirety. Goldwater's defeat was the crucifiction of a messiah. The volunteer army is a shining example of the genius of free markets. Allende deserved what he got.
The Pacific Research Institute has every right to make dishonest, distorting "documentaries" like "The Power of Choice: the Life and Ideas of Milton Friedman," and to pay for their broadcast. The question is, is it ethical for KQED PBS 9 to run such an orgy of dishonesty without at least some sort of disclaimer that it's paid political propaganda, and has nothing to do with anything that ever happened in the real world. They've certainly lost my contribution for the year by running this piece of garbage as though it were some sort of documentary.
This is a thousand times worse than "The Path to 911." If it's ok for PBS to run this crap without a disclaimer then we are absolutely doomed as a society.
