Your tax dollars at work. UGH!! Does that make you sick or what?? Between PBS and NPR I don't know which is worse. And the funny thing is, DUers think PBS/NPR are mouthpieces of the Bush admin. Maybe we could actually all agree to get rid of them.
I used to crack up when our local PBS station would play those promos at peldge time that said "If PBS doesn't do it, who will?" They can't say that anymore...the answers are too overwhelming.. Discovery, History Channel, The Learning Channel, The Military Channel, The Biography Channel....and so on.
PBS must be turning more conservative. Saturday night I saw a documentary about a band of bruddahs who were lead by a lifelong Republican. Johnny Ramone may not have come off as the nicest guy in the band but they all had their hassles with each other (Tommy never spoke to Joey after he left the band in '78 although he continued to speak with Johnny even after Joey's death).
As much trash as I hear about Johnny, I have to temper it with the understanding that they include "he was a Republican" among their gripes. And for as much as the documentary tried to play Joey as a hard left lib, CJ was the lib with Joey in-between. Joey voted for Ronald Reagan, twice maybe, (which is why he was outraged about the trip to the German SS graves).
I never watch PBS anymore and never contributed a penny to their liberal a$$es!
