In addition to not paying taxes or a PILOT, WGBH management discriminates against disability rights advocates. Talk show queen Emily Rooney refuses over several years to include persons with disabilities into her on-air programming. The elite public broadcasters boast of allowing persons with disabilities to volunteer at their posh digs. But they refuse to allow them access to the taxpayer funded public airwaves. WGBH favors as guests, corporate providers of goods and services to vulnerable persons. Wealthy victim groups with political clout e.g., the homosexual lobby, the African American lobby and the women's lobby regularly appear. See especially Rooney's Friday media watchers who are never persons with disabilities.

Boston City Council President Stephen Murphy said WGBH isn’t behaving like a “good neighbor.”
