Dennis Miller joins Bill O'Reilly to lend his perspective on the upcoming Vice Presidential debate between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden along with comments on the big bird controversy

I've heard much about the "big bird" controversy but until I saw Dennis Miller on O'Rielly I had no clue what it was about. I'm sure millions of others are equally uninformed as I was on the matter. Simply stated, Big Bird sponsored on PBS with public tax dollars is a gold mine taking in literally millions of dollars, The URL will tell it better than I can. Now I know why Romney wants to cut off PBS.

PBS is a rip off..20 year study proved that kids did not gain an advantage from watching pbs.

It’s an example of that corporate welfare that liberals claim to be against, except they are never against any real welfare, corporate or other.

The Childrens Television Workshop is a business. Their business in making a TV show, Sesame Street, and marketing the hell out of the characters. They make a boatload of money doing it. And isn't that what capitalism is all about?

I'm all for cutting off money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. And while we're at it I think they should also defund Voice of America, Radio Marti', and other similar orgainzations. I don't think their value is worth borrowing money from China from either, and their budget is higher than CPB's is.
