Ariodante said Kids today need to be raised on more Cinemax. 9 PM softcore porn for all!
AMoonHawk saidKids are just getting to smart with Sesame Street .. next they'll want to get actual educations and realize that the GOP is a party of lies .... we have to stop this now before it gets out of hand
paulflexes saidI vote Mitt Romney be court ordered to play the role of Big Bird - complete with wearing the costume and being on the show - for the rest of his life.

Know-nothing fools should keep their mouths shut.
PBS is America's biggest classroom. So, yeah, let's take government out of education!
Eliminating the funding would have virtually no impact on U.S. debt.
"For fiscal year 2010, federal funding for PBS through [the Corporation for Public Broadcasting] accounted for about 12% of PBS’ revenue. In terms of dollars, that works out to about $300 million. There’s not much wiggle room to be had: the money that actually goes to CPB is split according to a mostly statutory formula. For 2015, Congress has budgeted $445 million for CPB. That’s just below 1/100th of 1% of the budget."

Ok dude, whatever you say, I'm not going to play debate with you. You were just waiting for someone to say something so you could write that, weren't you? I bet you even had it written before you even saw my reply.

jeepguySD saidGovernor Romney was probably just being glib by associating PBS only with Big Bird, but it is sadenning to think that probably plays right to his base. PBS, including NPR, are a fantastic value for the American People. To ignore so much intelligent programming, like All Things Considered, Fresh Air, NOVA, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and so much more, and focus only on Big Bird, strikes me as condescending and contemptuous.

Not to mention PBS has probably the best musical programming of any free or pay television network:Austin City Limits, some series with Studio in the name where I first heard Adele long before she was famous, an occasional Broadway show filmed live, concerts aimed at adults who have money to donate to PBS (Carole King/James Taylor, Idina Menzel). Unfortunately these are mostly shown during pledge months so you get to watch 20 minutes then listen to 20 minutes of begging for donations. I can't imagine how long those pledge breaks will last if government funding is slashed. But I do hold out some hope that should that happen people will rally and show their displeasure with their wallets.
StudlyScrewRite said {Devils Advocate Here} How much do YOU donate to PBS annually? If you truly value it, I'm sure you can't wait to pledge generously during the pledge-campaigns.

You're too cool for school!
And I've been a fan of PBS since I was a kid... watch it at least once a week. Think its why I'm so into History, Foreign Cultures, Music in General, and Love to Learn!
