Which part of it is politically biased? As far as I can tell, it's one of the most balanced broadcasts available anywhere.
Perhaps you'd like to pull some more numbers out of your ass?
Obviously. Take Iraq for example. Nearly 60% of the nation disagrees with it. I'd much rather have my tax dollars go to PBS.
If by improve you mean reality TV shows, all that other LCD appeal crap, 1\3 of the time being consumed by advertisements, etc... sure, it would improve.
The broadcast flag is an emergency. PBS can always be reborn, but if the broadcast flag gets out of the can, there's no going back.
Yeah, that's why I would refuse to subscribe to cable TV if I had kids.... have you actually flipped through some of that smut latley? It's like adult swim, but on 24/7
This is not something to joke about.
PBS is truly one of this countries saving graces.
If you continue to joke about his, I will be the first o grab the chainsaw.
I'm serious
In an era where there are hundreds, if not thousands of TV channels, and the largest health problem facing Americans is couch potatoism, brought on in part by watching too much TV, I see no reason why the government should subsidize television channels.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are not chump change. There are better ways to spend or save that money, rather than wasteful big government programs that have long outlived their usefulness.
Those here on this thread who claim to enjoy PBS but don't support it (or don't pay enough money to the CPB) are part of the "free rider" problem. They're benefitting from something that's paid for by someone else. That's another reason to abolish public funding for PBS.

Yeah PBS has helped so ghetto kids become geniuses. :roll:
I think you've drank too much of that Democratic party Kool-Aide. I wish I could be as delusional as you. Must be pretty fun.
Poor people having too many children (children at all) should be fixed first..not that it can. I don't want a communist setup or anything..but these poor kids shouldn't "exist". The wrong people are having the kids. Goddamnit.
STFU you elitest prick.
Public broadcasting taught me english ( not typing thankfully
), taught me a lot about life, and is responsible for a large portion of my information repository. <--was poor.

I was poor too and PBS didn't teach me sh!t. The only thing kids learn from PBS is the Sesame Street theme.
It was the only channel we could pick up though.....

Your loss then. It is quite a valuable resource nonetheless.
<devil's advocate> Why not spend those tens, or hundreds of millions on libraries? Even the poorest people can afford to borrow a book for free, you don't even need a tv </devil's advocate>
