My wife and I have been longtime viewers of PBS TV. We love Masterpiece Theater, British comedy TV, Dr Who, Nova, and Frontline has some worthwhile stuff from time to time. First time I ever saw James Brown perform (a seminal musical moment for me) was on PBS in the late 60’s. We would simply ignore all the socialist claptrap that passed for “political analysis and commentary” and justify our regular donations on the grounds of the programming we did like to see.
But the day we learned that PBS had provided its donor list to the Democratic Party, my wife turned to me and very matter of factly stated that we were never sending another penny to PBS - and we have not to this day.
