The move is ironic, she said, given the impressive number of Emmy Award nominations earned last week by PBS programs...

Here's a deal. We cut all federal funding for all domestic public broadcasting. When you cite the article and section in the Constitution that says the govt shall award Emmy's to public broadcasts, then funding shall be restored...

Has anyone ever seen Paula Kerger and Elizabeth Warren in the same room...?

PBS received 58 nods, second only to HBO and CBS.

WOW! I didn't know HBO and C BS received federal money.

Here’s another way PBS lies - the non-advertiser advertisers... (about a fourth of the way in the tape)

"These people know what will happen in Republicans come back into power"

Really??? Just what empirical evidence do you have of that possibility?

The GOP has "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH"'d this kind of crap in every election since 1994, but somehow they have never shut it down...

NPR & NEA are, for the GOP, just windmills.

They can’t be in the same room. If they get to close a singularity of hypocrisy would form and alter the fabric of space-time. We would have what’s known as a liberal hole. It would suck in all the surrounding responsibility and nothing good would be able to escape it. It needs to be avoided at all costs because then there would be nothing for the progressives to leech off of. The remaining lefties would have to actually produce something of value. Given that they are incapable, they would all starve after they had eaten the few children that they hadn’t aborted.

It burns me that some people actually get a superiority kick for being a pig at a trough.

PBS should get their funding from the Demaocrat Party.
