I care very much if PBS goes down the tubes. I want PBS to collapse, preferably amid scandal with ruined reputations and folks going to jail. I CARE! It bothers me terribly that PBS continues to exist as an arrogant snotty enemy of everything I believe and that I have to pay for it.

61% could care less!
How about the National Endowment for the Arts or Humanities?
I bet that would be up around 80% don't care.

Would I care if it folded? NO.

The useful programming to be found on PBS, like Frontline, McLaughlin and Charlie Rose, would find homes on a cable channel. The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, although it has a good format, is hopelessly leftwing in all its reporting. I wouldn't mourn its demise.

The rest of PBS' programming, especially the large quantity of envirofascist propaganda broadcast constantly, does positive harm to sane public discourse.

PBS does some good work. I love some of their presentations. It's the agenda. Screw 'em. It's a shame that liberals have been allowed to screw up many wonderful things in this nation. Fact is, they have. Now it's time to dismantle the orgs that can't help but spew their tripe in any manner.

I'd miss the Antiques Road Show, but I'm sure HGTV would pick it up.

The ARS does show up on cable channels. At least I think I've seen it on them.
