The folks at PBS haven't spent large blocks of their lives distributing pornography. For the most part, they didn't spend their lives speculating on the value of commodiites -- they have demonstrated sustained interest in the subject matter they report, or in the honest accurate representation of diverse subjects to diverse audiences. The editorial processes at PBS involve interaction who have spent years studying the impacts and nuance of mass communication. Cable networks don't control content on PBS or presume to have absolute veto power over any controversy that arises in PBS. Jim Wales does claim complete control over any aspect of Wikipedia that he decides to interfere with.
