Om-buddies? Not really.

“Comments continue to drift in about the PBS program on the Armenian genocide,” CPB ombudsman Ken Bode writes in his latest column, which features remarks from several of his readers on the issue. One commenter: Michael Getler, public TV’s other ombudsman, who took exception to the way Bode, in his initial column on the matter, characterized the PBS monitor’s comments on The Armenian Genocide controversy. Replied Bode: “I am happy to have Mr. Getler state clearly, as I thought he did not in his original posting, his opinion that the events in Turkey, did indeed deserve to be considered as genocide. Anyway, I think that is what he is saying.”
