PBS Won't Move On: Mark Shields Calls for 'New 9/11 Commission'

Media Credit Segregationist Democrat with Ending SC Segregation
Since news broke over the weekend that former South Carolina Senator Erniest Hollings had passed, his controversial history on race has been substantially whitewashed in media reports which have gone so far as to praise him over the ending of segregation in his home state.
