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.

So...you want Romney to cu PBS funding. I don't watch TV so I don't see any programing, but I still know there are lots of people who do and losing PBS would be a big mistake for no good reason.

You want me to choke to death on a ham sammich?

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.

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 think you're underestimating the power of PBS, there are millions of viewers and yes there are some people who are lapsed viewers. However most of them watched PBS shows at one point in their life, even if the last time they watched was as kids watching Sesame Street.

Ok, if they cut PBS, anyone wanna guess where the money goes? Not Education....

Dont forget Mr.Purple and Ms.Tubby.

I still watch PBS quite often now. My kids watch Sesame Street, Word World, Clifford, and other kids' shows almost every morning. For me, I watch Check Please Bay Area, Austin City Limits and Great Performances.

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

So, what you're saying is "I watched PBS before it was cool".

Hipster

Leave PBS alone! Some of my favorite shows growing up were PBS shows. Bill Nye is still my hero.

I still watch MotorWeek, love that show and bee watching it for over 15 years.

I like Antique Roads Show, History Detectives, and Finding Your Roots.

Don't worry Romney won't have a problem putting America's wars on a credit card, but fund PBS ... its time to cut that pork...

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!!!

How clueless does someone have to be to conclude that Romney doesn't like PBS?

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.

LOL!!!! you a joke right?

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 ....
