One of the few things still working on network television these days is PBS. It survived the full frontal assault of the Bush thugs, and sails happily on to the benefit of us all, as Bill Moyers intended.
One signal service has been the various programs that have tried their level best to reduce the complexities (and are they ever) of the machinations of Wall Street to terms a 5th grader could fathom. Paul Solman's Making Sense takes that approach with a vengeance. He seems bent on reducing the irreducible; succeeding about half the time. It don't get no simpler than this.
