Giant, yellow, childish, always flying somewhere on his own whims and leaving a mess everywhere he goes. By George, Rob’s onto something! Obama = Big Bird!

PBS is the enemy of MItt and the right wing, because they simply report the facts, intelligently, with thought, which is of course, by definition: “liberal”.

In other words they oppose anyone who tells the truth. No wonder they hate the “lame steam media”.

PBS gets so little to begin with. Like the NEA it’s been a culture target for years. It’s another attempt to dumb down the society.

This is fascinating. The intellectual left is down to nothing but name calling.
Their messiah has proven hisself mortal and weak.
In reality, Obama could do no better. He hasn’t anything to offer. His policies and ideology are failures so he is left with cliches and platitudes. Soon the left will realize this and turn on him.

They also teach children (bad!), broaden
their horizon (worse!!) and show them that
black and white, rich and poor are all created
equal (worst!!!). All you need to know can
be found in the bible and taught at home, right?
Right!

Why yes, it can be, though that does not mean it should be.

We should not be funding PBS, period! They have advertising and fundraising for that. We do not fund CBS, ABC, etc, etc. Lets try to get real in this country for a change. If they can’t survive on their own, let them sink. I for one would not miss it.

Our country would be better served by giving PBS 50 times it’s current stipend. My kids benefited enormously from its programming.

Without unbaised media sources Murdoch and the conservo-cratic empire would dominate the media. Look at fox noise for a perfect example of media manipulation to control the brainless hordes!

There is a time and a place for everything and PBS is not needed for it’s original purpose. PBS cost us $422 million!
