PBS To Distribute Bush ‘Think Tank’ Show

 DALLAS, Texas — PBS will distribute a new show produced by President George W. Bush’s think tank housed at his Presidential Center.

Two episodes of “Ideas in Action” are already head of its premire in February 2010.

The show will be moderated by the think tank’s executive director, Ambassador James Glassman.

The format for the show is a discussion on a “difficult issue with a balanced panel,” Glassman told The Huffington Post.

Panelists in the first episode on education include those from the Bush think tank as well as the Economic Policy Institute and the Progressive Policy Institute.

The show’s producer said that critics should watch the show before commenting on the think tank’s inclusion.

“The proof will be in the pudding,” he said.

Other conservative think tanks have had shows aired on PBS such as The Hoover Institution’s show “Uncommon Knowledge” (1997-2005).
