Frankly, as far as I’m concerned NPR and PBS are both expendable once Republicans get better control of the purse strings and spending programs.

There is no calculus, under the law of the land, that such things as government-operated TV and radio “news” outlets like PBS and NPR are justified. None.

Come on!!!!!

PBS and NPR have been on about forever and yet PB your synopsis is perfect:

And yet, PB, I must ask....WHY DO WE STILL HAVE THEM?

All this time the beloved pubs in congress couldn’t get rid of those things? Or maybe did they get votes on pork barrel projects and such in order to not vote something us dolts out here in la la land carrying this country on our backs so wanted?

Now we know McCain was busy working on his Campaign Finance REform that we all so dearly wanted and are so grateful for today that Super Pacs and candidates don’t collude and couldn’t be bothered with such silliness but seriously, WHY DO WE STILL HAVE THEM?

And while I’m on a roll, don’t give me this “NPR and the like are such a small part of the budget shortfall it’s not worth the effort.”

Say I have a partnership in a businessbis in trouble. I have entire office redone in exotic woods because, well the money needed to save the company is so huge that this expense won’t go near solving.

How well would that go over?

I really hope us dolts get some REAL representation and fiscal sanity in that congress.

I must remind we need that senate turned over cause Romney and Ryan, assuming they do anything, can’t do it all.
