"Around the time the board was beginning its work, Montana PBS producer Anna Rau began her own investigation of the state?s $40-million-a-year industry. What she found will be the subject of an upcoming Montana PBS documentary, Who?s Watching the Kids?, set to premiere locally Thursday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. "
Why does the documentary never mention the report of the board, (which PBS was aware would be presented September 12th)? The show is purportedly about a lack of regulation, but totally ignores the regulation process. Not really fair, no matter how you look at it. The report wasn't just program drivel, either. The public participated at every step, and it was all in the report.
How ironic that the board's process was held to a standard of transparency and open meetings, while the PBS piece was nothing but awkwardly pasted sound bytes and inaccurate speculation. Regulation driven by political propaganda can't possibly be a good thing.
