Reply #3: More Reason To Cut Them Loose...

[KharmaTrain]

This is what the "Conservative" GOOPies want to do to pay for the Gulf reconstruction.

Honestly...why not take a look at some of the purposes of the 1967 bill that created the Corporation For Public Broadcasting that oversees PBS and NPR and the right wing has threatened to destroy for years. Look like they're about to get their wish.

But the communications world has changed a lot since 1967. PBS is no longer the only source for "educational" or "public" programming...or childrens shows. Many of the largest PBS stations are high budget operations that can survive quite well without a government subsidy and the political and editorial content that goes with it.

The real losers would be the people the Repugnicans represent...surprise, surprise. Those areas rely more on CPB and PBS funding/programming than do the major cities and blue states.
