PBS on Colbert?

The anchors at PBS NewsHour (which I regularly depend upon and is linked to the right) had the opportunity to promote their brand of news (the old-fashioned kind that is actually information) on the Colbert Report recently and I think acquitted themselves quite well.

If you enjoy being a thinker, there is no other comparable source of 'visual' news on TV today, unless your local PBS station also broadcasts the BBC News, which is also excellent and informative, but a bit more world-centered (as it should be).

So the BBC for world news, these women for US (and world) news, and now Hari Sreenivasan has a 'half hour' PBS NewsHour on Saturday and Sundays.  Unlike the screeching heads news channels, they realize that most of the rest of the world is still functioning on our weekends.
