Heads up Idaho. Please contact GOP Congressman Mike Simpson if you are a constituent. Politely let him and his staff know PBS/NPR is not his friend.

NPR/PBS survive 'cause the GOP supports it.

Obviously these Muppet marchers do not have jobs as they can just take off for this protest and one would assume someone is paying for the trip to DC. It would be interesting to know who is bankrolling this project... my bet is the DNC or one of its shills is paying for the trip.

The crazy thing about this is that PBS would do just fine if it wasn’t latched onto the public teat. National People’s Radio could be as left as it wanted to be and obtain private funding accordingly WITHOUT worrying about trying to appease conservatives.

If each of these million people really want to see PBS funded, they could each write an annual check for $445 to make it happen, right? Problem solved!

Dumbasses.

I thought Big Bird said he didn’t need government funds anyway.

We’re spending more than $1 trillion dollars per year we don’t have, and NPR/PBS thinks we don’t have enough information outlets without them getting government funds.

Talk about your clueless idiots...

Frankly, it has angered me for years to see the government fund the propaganda these agencies have been pumping out.

Good riddance...

I just thought of something during the Cavuto show this morning... I just realized a very simple way out of this whole CPB/NPR/PBS funding kerfuffle. Levy and "entertainment tax" to fund these groups. Go to the movies, pay a tax. Go to a play, pay a tax. Even better, include a special income tax on anyone working in the "entertainment industry." Put an extra tax on the incomes of Spielberg, Katezenbery, Howard, Ford, Travolta, etc...

If they want to muster a million muppets, they'll have to pull some from the picket lines.

It would be much easier for them to fork over 10 bucks apiece to PBS and keep their beloved big bird on the air for a while longer.

PBS is always having telethons, what do they do with that money? For a “network” that mainly shows only videos of pre-produced programs, maybe their a little heavy on employees.

Then I hear things like, “This program brought to you by the Exxon Corporation”, or whatever company...so, that means they are not only getting taxpayer money and viewer donations, but also are selling sponsorships.

How many folks does it take at PBS to run a DVD player?

If these million people would just go buy an Elmo toy, any funding cut by government would be replaced by their own contribution. But that would be private enterprise, we can’t have that.

It’s “social justice and fairness” that we fleece taxpayers from here to Kingdom come to pay for an enterprise that could clearly prosper in the competitive marketplace. Where’s the justice for us that are forced to pay for “Children’s TV Workshop” against our will?

Typical skull full of mush talk. Get back to me, kid, when you are off Daddy’s payroll, earning a living on your own, and the biggest expense item in your budget by far is TAXES.

I say less than 10,000 show up, and half of them will be the usual “professional protestors” that you see at every event

I've always thought Obama voters were brainless puppets, this just confirms it.
