Sounds like Tomlinson is doing a great job; they're screaming like stuck pigs. Full speed ahead!

Thought this was a joke.......Well,in reflection, it still is.
To: Tom_Busch
Gee, remember the '94 republican revolution (that never was), PBS was to be defunded. Typical republican BS --- we're going to cut, cut, cut if you elect us, then once in office it's spend,spend,spend.

NPR, PBS are as close to a national voice as America has any more. Not MY voice.

Dems really hate "fair and balanced" media. It is just another bit of proof of bias in PBS.
Liberal lies - good; conservative truth - bad. /sarcasm off

You'll never find a stronger advocate for PBS's children's programming than I am. However, I also believe in free market economics. I honestly believe that PBS could still thrive with commercial sponsors and at least lessen it's dependency on the federal government, if it wasn't eliminated completely.

Today, because of the multiplicity of choices, we really dont have that national voice that once united us, Blumenauer said. NPR, PBS are as close to a national voice as America has any more. A supporter of PBS and NPR has just admitted, that these two entities speak with one voice, and one sided opinions.

I can tell you that as a citizen of the Peoples Republic of MA, Rep. Ed Markey is a pile of horse dung. Give him a cause and he will go on the stump. Most suspect he is going after Kennedy's fat seat in congress, but Joe Kennedy is way ahead of this little twit.

Markey said that, while PBS stations offer up to 12 hours per day of nutritious, beneficial childrens programming, commercial broadcast networks program shows like Jerry Springer, Montel Maury, Judge Hatchett and Divorce Court.In other words, he's saying that private media has to conform to the same standards as public media. I'm reminded of all the times the Democrats have played nanny for society. V-Chips in TV's, parental labels on CD's and video games, and ratings systems for shows.

The Dems are into "for the children" mode over this.
PBS kids' shows are responsible for as much kiddie merchandise all year long as Mattel is at Christmas. Let PBS negotiate better merchandising deals. Let the kids turn off PBS and go out and play.
(Kids who grew up in the '50s got along fine without PBS. None of the kid shows back then relied on taxpayer money.)
To: BuckeyeNan
Yes, he's a Clinton appointee and once headed the Voice Of America Radio at the USIA, before landing a chairmanship at PBS/NPR.

If kids weren't watching Howdy Doodee back then, they were getting their arms scraped in the dirt or climbing trees, or throwing rocks at one another outside.

Yeah, that conservative has to quit so that the Boston PBS station can resume selling its subscriber list to the DNC ... oh wait. that's right. They're fair and balanced. Not political at all! No bias ... move right along.

The idea of taking away the money for children is particularly offensive, said Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.).LMBO!! The scumbags are trotting out "the children" again!
The glaring irony, of course, is that these very same scumbags are also unabashed abortion enthusiasts.
Beam me up....
