I used to work the pledge drives so it's fun to see who is still doing it. To far to drive now.

As they should.
they should also buy advertisments and stop living off the gov’t teet.
These guys suck.
The take public funding, They take private funding, they air commercials for profit and then every other week they run a begathon.
I hope PBS goes completley out of business - but, of course they won’t, liberals will see to it that they stay in business broadcasting leftist swill.
Ha, Ha!
NPR/PBS must be the only thing that liberals actually donate their own money to. So let them dig deep.
Perhaps the Republicans can suggest a 50% tax on electric cars, windmills, and college professors to pay for NPR and PBS? Now THAT would be funny.
Actually, I think user taxes for Liberal items would be hilarious.
PBS is run by stooges. How do you think commercial radio would do if they ran all their commercials all day on one day every six weeks? If the elite, well educated, ivy league geniuses that run public broadcasting had the brains G-d gave grapes they would integrate their requests for funding daily into their broadcasts the way the grown ups program commercials on real radio and TV stations.
Silly me. I had no idea my state tax dollars, in addition to federal taxes, went to the Commune known as PBS.
I remember castigating my late father, years ago, when he told me he had pledged $25 after watching something about Benny Goodman and other Big Band artists during a PBS drive.
A week later Pop turned on his TV and was “treated” to something called “Tongues Untied”, a documentary about black homosexuals. I never said “I told you so.”. I didn’t need to.
RIP Pop....
I wouldn’t know. It’s been 15 years since I last felt the need to have my intelligence insulted by the pseudo-intellectuals on PBS.
NPR fund drives = pathetic, crying, nagging beg-a-thons
But at all times, pbs leans to the left
We need a montage of all the times PBS says “they are going to cut our funding”
Then we use that in DC to defund PBS.
Ya, they really screwed up the cooking shows this weekend.
PBS pledge drives are the worst. “For your gift of $250, you can receive a CD of the music you’re hearing during this broadcast. For $600, you can get the CD AND a DVD of this concert!”.
I notice that during these drives the few programs PBS carries worth watching, like “This Old House Hour”, get displaced and canceled, but the Friday lefty news programs show up anyhow, and tonight some show called “DuSable to Obama:Chicago’s Black Metropolis - History of Blacks in Chicago” went on as scheduled in the TV listings - more reasons not to contribute.....
