Maybe go get a job.
Let’s do an audit.
Big Bird is fifty years old and has been on welfare his entire life. He’s a Democrat success story...
It is the Principle of it. The common people should support the Arts for the enjoyment of the Elite and for their own education purveyed by broadcast of the “correct” world-view.
I disliked Sesame Street even as a 5 year-old. There was something condescending, overbearing and uncomfortably politically-correct about it, that I noticed, even then. I only much later realized - that is the typical propagandistic mindset of the Left.
I naturally gravitated to Bugs Bunny and Hogans Heroes as a young child.
I thought big bird was working for HBO now?
It doesn’t matter to the liberals that Big Bird and his friends made that deal with HBO. They were on PBS for decades, and that is why the liberals are making their political statement about cutting funding to PBS and firing Big Bird.
All that matters to the liberals is making their political statements, whether those statements are based in fact or not.
You might remember that the author, Gwen Eiffel, had a book published the day before a Presidential debate, that she would be the moderator, praising a then-current Presidential candidate?
And her employer was the network broadcasting the event, PBS.
Salaries for
pbs pres Paula Kerger. 632,233
Corp for public broadcasting CEO Patricia de Stacy Harrison 369,514
Terry Gross of PBS in 2010-2011 made 375,652
How much did you make in those years?
If their product is that good, and they want to pay their people this much, shouldn't they stand or fall in the marketplace themselves and get off the public teat?
The Federal Government stopped funding Sesame Street in 1981.
I read an article on internet last night saying much of what is said here. In addition it claimed the Federal money accounted for about 7% o their operations, have top of the line equipment, their employees make more than their counterparts at private stations and their executives make more that those with commensurate responsibilities in the government. They are fat, so I read.

PBS has employed and is still employing thousands upon thousands of unemployed or under-employed artists, writers, actors, cartoonists, musicians, announcers, singers, directors, producers, puppeteers, documenteers, etc....all of whom depend and live on the tax-dole salaries they are given for their efforts.....and which they and the socialist Left view as rightfully theirs.
Like the rest of us, they should be out earning their livings in the private enterprise market...WE peons have to swim or we sink...and so should they.
