Say it isn’t so!
She voted with the 72, including Lamborn.
So much for bi-partisanship.
Why does Musgrave hate Big Bird?
its because Bert and Ernie are clearly a couple. and don’t forget the Telle Tubbies.
But come on, man…Big Bird? God, I loved him when I was a kid. He was my absolute favorite.
You know, all joking aside, how could anyone in their right mind vote against funding public television?
Because the government doesn’t need to do it.
Cable is now loaded with channels that do what PBS used to do, and they’ve arguably done a better job. Why do taxpayers need to subsidize redundancy?
I beg to differ.
What can you find on PBS that you can’t find on commercial programming? I’m having a hard time thinking of something here…
a better standard of excellence for journalism (think Bill Moyer) and on Public Radio, no advertising.
The “excellence” of Bill Moyers’ journalism is debatable. And while there are some good journalistic programs in public broadcasting, I’d argue they’re no different than the wonkish programs you’ll find elsewhere. And while the lack of commercials is nice, there aren’t any on satellite radio, either.
I gave up on NPR news when over a months’ time every time I switched my radio there they were going on and on about bird flu. No thanks.
My original point, I think, still stands – there’s really no service that the CPB serves that isn’t a redundancy from other, private broadcast media.
Well, except maybe keep food on Ken Burns’ table.
So be it.
Frontline, NewsHour, BBC Worldservice. Much better reporting than any news cable service on tv.
Frontline is outstanding.
substance over style. I partucularly like the in depth part. Not shills arguing, but different POV giving reasoned positions.
Loads of documentaries. Bill Moyer. PBS is an example of what the government SHOULD do because private business won’t. They won’t because it is not profitable. Though not of an emergent nature, like fire and police protection.
the NewsHour is better than anything Fox puts out. And not everyone gets cable. Why should I pay for 200 channels of shit? I contribute ot RMPBS and I am glad that a small (miniscule) portion of my taxes go to support public TV and radio. I would rather it go there than to corporate graft and the Boys of Dubail (i.e. Halliburton–rob from the US Treasury then relocate overseas–now THAT’s patriotic).
In one sense PBS is the poster child for wasteful government programs. There is no logical reason to fund it but the left fights like crazy for it.
How can you kill farm supports but vote for PBS? And so we get both…
I just want Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers, the new shows are crap. Oh and I suppose maybe a news program too. We can start by cutting half the subsidies and half of PBS, what a genius idea!
that Elmo’s mackin’ on?
What’s up with the Cookie monster holding hands with the purple dude?
Ernie’s got his arm around Bert, looking like he’s going in for some love?!
And the pink monster with the mullet, flashing his thing for all to see?!
Pornography! Lamborn and Musgrave are right, Sesame Street has gone to hell only to be replaced by homosexual monsters.
Who’s directing the show now, the Teletubbies?
never mind
There are likely 15% or more of Lamborns base that think the NEA, NPR and PBS are the greatest threats to freedom. His next newsletter will probably pander to them by highlighting 2 of his most recent votes.
This will catapult Lamborn to the top of the Armed Services Committee.
Can he read?
whenever it comes up. Bush also promised to veto it.
Culture of Life.
The McLaughlin Group is on tonight!
