III. SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING Bolster support for public broadcasting with opinion leaders, funders and the public.

To achieve this Goal CPB will pursue the following objectives:

A. Raise Public Awareness – Explore and develop a broad-based, long-term, public education effort to raise awareness of, and appreciation for, public broadcasting’s contribution to American life. A successful effort can result in enhancing our support and funding from the public; federal, state and local governments; corporations and foundations.

Yea, my awareness is elevated. I live in MN with a constant drivel of leftist thought pouring from the port side of the radio dial and the low numbered TV channels . All of this paid for out of my wallet, with no recourse or input aside from the OFF switch.

“If we don’t do it, who will?” is the arrogant response of people who need to be weaned from the Government teat and go out and find real jobs.

Let their kind of propaganda attempt to make in the commercial world. There are plenty of sponsors for stuff which is truly “good”.

I still like the idea of bolt-cutters and blowtorches wielded during a MN summer evening and the glory of a dismantled broadcast tower lying at my feet.

Ping me.

CNN's real problem is that they're focused on the WRONG opposition...They're obsessed with Fox, but they'll never regain the #1 stop. They should be worried about MSNBC, which is refocusing itself at a type of Jr. Fox....soon, you'll see their ratings start to approach CNN's......

BTW..kindly add me to your ping list..

When pigs object to an odor, the question of decay is beyond dispute.

Even though this intellectually flabby nitwit is unable to correctly diagnose the source or nature of the stench, the fact that things at PBS are so far beyond the pale of reality that they incur criticism from their own base indicates time has come to terminate the Left's subsidized mainstream propaganda organ.

When decisive action finally begins to unfold, it will be important that sanctimonious pigs, like the author, are excluded from the butchering process. Simply smile, take their statements, and throw them in the trash. In short, display the kind of smug arrogance that these spittle-flecked hams display toward middle-America each and every day with lines like this:

"CNN appeals to the journalist in most of us as the channel battles Fox News, which has done a wonderful job of convincing non-journalists that it is unbiased while fooling almost no one who actually gets a paycheck in this profession."

What profession would that be, Mr. Goodman? Rooters and grubbers of widow's coins? Wallowing swine in the shadow of Congressional protection? Esteemers of all things decayed and corrupt? Porcine princes at the public trough with snot-glazed snouts?

Too bad for you and those in your profession, Mr. Goodman.

The faint and far off sound you hear from fly-over-land is the same sound hogs have heard for centuries in the fall of the year when the air gets crisp. It's not the sound of bowing and scraping from all of us yokel non-journalists. That's the sound of knives and cleavers being ground nice and sharp.
