I just saw an EXTENDED piece on CBS this morning about freaking Big Bird.

Remember when Bush was president, and networks found people who were having a hard time feeding their family because of high gas prices? Or they would look for ties between the White House and energy companies (like Halliburton)? Today they ignore Solyndra...

We dont need to be paying for PBS or the arts..Private enterprise should be doing it. Time to stop funding.

The only bird that really matters is the “big bird” commonly known as the American Eagle. Will the American Eagle still remain as a symbol the U.S.A. if this idiot in the White House is given four more years.

I hope they de-fund NPR, PBS, and replace the people on the FCC to remove the smut from TV, too.

Networks have resorted to near-porn to try to attract viewership that's left them for Cable and Satellite TV.

Their problem is: State-Run-Media has become so transparently "State Run" that people don't want to hear 24/7 Agenda-slanted programming.

Let Sesame Street start selling ads instead of political correctness.

There’s plenty of educational TV on non-government channels - Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Nickelodeon, TLC - with shows like Blue’s Clues, Bob the Builder, Dora the Explora (sic), etc.

Let’s not forget PBS also gave us Barney, Teletubbies, and Bill Nye the lefty Science Guy.

WE should be taking off and running with this as a theme—government should not be financially enmeshed with public broadcasting any more than it should be involved with sports stadiums, auto manufacturers, or the banking industry.

NO SOCIALISM!!!!!!!

Big Bird and Sesame Street generate billions in revenue every year.

Liberals support federal subsidies for billionaires.
