I was just watching a PBS fund-raiser (supposedly live) and heard Mike Farrell interview Michelle Phillips on-air. As they were talking, Farrell asked Phillips "with all your qualities...the fact that you don't know anything about economics...or foreign policy...you could be in line for the presidency," Phillips replied "well I think that...that gives me..all the qualities that I need." Farrell then replies..."that's been demonstrated today..." An obvious shot at Palin. Since PBS need OUR money to operate, we should let them know that this kind of crap won't be tolerated. I did. I just called them back and withdrew my support and told them why.

Isn’t that the loser that took Trapper John’s place? I really need to know what Radar and Klinger think before I decide who to vote for, though...

I like Wayne Rogers better .

‘Haven’t sent in money to lefty PBS for years.

[shteebo]

Speaking of no credibility...

after seeing this, I decided not to spend my money for PBS.

Fortunately, Farrell can only get PBS gigs now. He was shot down during the start of the war in Afghanistan. Worthless anti-war pinko!

An obvious shot at Palin.

Are you sure it wasn't a shot at Obama?

I think Michelle Phillips should be much more concerned about her parenting skills than Sarah Palin’s professional skills.

Ya know, I was reeeaaaallly hoping B.J. Hunnicutt wouldn't rear his ugly head this election cycle. He should just stick with Desperate Housewives.

GA PBS is running their fund-raiser as well - probably many are doing it at the same time.

Called their number 800-222-4788 and told them that we would NOT be donating anything this year, since Mike Farrell is insulting MY religion and MY choice on THEIR TV time, HE can fund THEIR shows.

What??!!?! Mike Farrell’s a lib !?!!111??

You should have put in a contact link to PBS on your thread, so that we don’t all have to go and find it individually to flame them. Just a suggestion. If we FRiends are going to defeat the Zero, we need to be efficient.

Here is the page to send an email to the PBS Ombudsman

You will run out of popcorn before you run out of celefties (yes, a new word).

I don’t support the People’s Broadcasting System.

Haven’t for many years.

Don’t watch them either.

[Salamander]

Give us their 1-800 donation line number so we can all call in and say *why* we’re not giving.

[diverteach]

Whats the difference between Mike Farrell and Rosie Odonell or Susan Sarandon?

LIPSTICK!

[andyandval]

The Jets are playing New England and you're watching PBS???

:)

Oh well, if the great actor Mike “B.J.” Farrell is against her, Gov. Palin hasn’t a chance in hell.

[A. Morgan]

Who cares what Mike Farrell says? Shut up and ACT.. wait a minute Mike Farrell is a washed up actor who thinks he’s a wise man.

I quit donating to PBS and NPR a few years ago. PBS shouldn’t have trouble supporting themselves because of all the marketing and sponsorships (Elmo alone should be pure gold for them). NPR is just vile, as evidenced by two stories I recall:

In the first, they interviewed what I suppose was a “community organizer” who ran a tattoo removal / employment services center for people who couldn’t get a job because of the prominent tattoos and body piercings they chose to have done to themselves.

In the second, they were interviewing people who were having sex change operations in order to become homosexuals of the other gender.

I’m as live-and-let-live as the next guy, but I won’t support that garbage.
