I am tired of all of these bandwagon PBS fans.

All I see is a bunch of retards pretending to be PBS viewers because Mitt Romney doesn't like PBS and wants to get rid of the CPB.
Seriously, fark the whole lot of them. I hope they all die choking on ham sandwiches.

I think you are misunderstanding me. 
:
I hate the all of the people who are part of the new PBS is cool, and I am also cool because I watch PBS trend. The old viewers, the ones who are loyal viewers are the ones that I have real respect for. These people, the new fans are no different than the people who didn't care for/hated America before 9/11 and suddenly became neocons right after the towers were brought down. And just so you know, I watch the newshour ever night, and most of the their primetime programs. I've got much love for my local PBS and NPR stations even though they have tried to censor programming and love to pimp the catholic church on their channels. |

I've watched PBS my entire life, starting with Sesame street and including, in no particular order, watching Masterpiece Theater, Monty Python's Flying Circus (KERA in Dallas was the first station to air it in the states), The Ernie Kovaks Show (reruns), etc.
I also listen to NPR most days, often on the radio but some of their shows I catch on podcast.

So, I would be sad if PBS is gone, which probably would happen if the government subsidies are pulled.

I still watch MotorWeek, love that show and bee watching it for over 15 years.
Compared to all the garbage our gov't spend, attacking the one thing that probably at least do some good for the public, should be cut....
LOL!!!
The point is that we shouldn't be borrowing money from China to fund it. If there is so much support for it and the shows are something that people want to watch then PBS should easily be able to generate the funding it needs to keep it on the air without subsidies from the government.
Forcing PBS to compete with other stations would likely even improve programming and improve the quality of the shows that are aired. Currently there is no need to step up and make improvements because the money is going to keep rolling in from the government no matter how little effort they put in.
It's a lot like General Motors. They got into trouble by making cars for years that nobody wanted to buy. Instead of letting GM fail and forcing them to restructure under Chapter 11 and change the way they do business Obama bails them out with taxpayer money and essentially gives more power to the unions and "saves the auto industry" And what happens? GM continues to build cars that nobody wants to buy like the Chevy Volt and the only way to get people to buy them is to subsidize the sales with even more taxpayer money and money borrowed from China.
PBS has plenty of good shows that should be popular enough to compete with other stations. I say give them a chance to prove they are worth keeping around without the subsidies.

You sure don't mind Bush giving money to all those bankers and banks who went belly up
You should quit eating all that cheap corn we subsidize with taxpayers money
You should stop buying oil since we subsidize that too
Why don't Romney make all American pay for the war and killings we engage in..
But oh no PBS needs to be cut, really just how much taxpayers' monies is PBS so much pocketing ....
