Pull the plug on PBS/NPR NOW!

[GloriaJane]

PBS has had an openly lib bias in their programing for years. Anyone who turns it on figures that out after just a few minutes of watching it. It's laughable that they try to say they're not.

How they can claim with a straight face to be fair and balanced is beyond me. LOL!!

I just took a look at one of local PBS station's programming for the next few hours. It sure looks like a liberal agenda to me.

Castro
(A KQED Production)
"The Castro" chronicles the saga of how a quiet, working-class San Francisco neighborhood of European immigrants gave way to a new community that has become an international symbol of gay liberation. Combining interviews with witnesses to the transformation, archival materials, and contemporary footage, the program captures the spirit and vitality of the Castro district and sheds light on why the rather modest Eureka Valley neighborhood became the world's first "gay hometown."

Flowers from the Heartland
On February 12, 2004 the City and County of San Francisco began issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. Just days after the first wedding was performed, the flowers started arriving. Flowers sent from the very heart of America, the Midwest. Flowers sent with love and support and addressed simply "To Any Loving Couple." Experience again the joy of that magical month when over 4000 gay and lesbian couples were united in matrimony, and meet some of the people from the Heartland who together with thousands of others across the country and around the world sent Flowers from the Heartland. By Peter Daulton.

This is behind the curve, considering that Congress just authorized restoring $100 mil in funding to PBS. The ever reliable Republican Congress that is. Blackbird.

AP circling the waggons... note:"claims"

"alegations"


All BS, PBS IS LEFT WING. PBS IS SLANTED.

There is ZERO reason to fund PBS. Shows like sesamee street are funded independently of gov money with all the donation groveling they do.

[WhiteGuy]

I agree,

However while the republican majority in congress has been promising an end to out-of-control government waste for ten years now, they have shown themselves to be far worse than their so-called counterparts on the other side of the aisle.

As a matter of fact I believe that most politicians favor empowering the "other party" in an effort to keep the general population divided. Meanwhile both parties compromise on how to best fleece the people.

[RedBeaconNY]

...well, if the boot fits, wear it. PBS is a liberal cesspit.

[Reader of news]

The Gov't should spend no money on PBS.

[ThanhPhero]

PBS says the proposed cuts would have severely impacted "Sesame Street," "Clifford," "Between the Lions" and other popular children's shows.

Jusat as with politicians arguing for a tax rise or against a cut: if we don't get the money, the most visible and popular items will be cut.

The man alleging the bias is ... a Republican

Mainstream reporting here. A republican is alleging bias. No democrats were involved mind you just good old fashioned nonpartisian middle of the roader PBS folks dotcha know.
