Likely their popular programs would find another way to stay on the air, but I don't believe Americans are willing to find out.
Congress will not agree to this. They will not go into an election cycle being known as the Congress that killed Big Bird and Capitol Public Radio.
art of the deal
Send them to George Soros for funding.
PBS has been made obsolete by the internet.
We are $20 TRILLION in debt. Funding these frivolous things is how we got that debt. Meanwhile, only THREE units are battle ready in our military….and the national defense is the only duty to citizens that is stipulated in the Constitution. Cut the desserts when we are running out of beans and bread.
Big Bird is not on PBS.
It is on privately funded stations and has been for a while.
“They will not go into an election cycle being known as the Congress that killed Big Bird”
Seasame Street is paid for by HBO now. HBO gets the new episodes and PBS gets them 9 months later.
Yes I love it when my tax dollars are used to subvert my way of life, liberty and freedom. Big Bird needs to quit sucking on the taxpayers teat.
Let them transform into a truly non-partisan non-libtard outfit and maybe they will have a chance at bi-partisan support.
PBS is 100% leftist propaganda. Shut it down!
great!
if you have such “strong support” you dont need government help!
advertisers will be lining up around the block to play adds to your massive audience!
As long as one veteran is having to do with less than he/she needs, not one time to these biased ‘news’ services.
Sesame Street makes millions for PBS. There is nothing public about their pandering leftist programs.
Time to make PBS NPR accountable. Cut the cord.
Big bird is owned by HBO these days
.... They just need to do what other organizations do in the real world .... Seek Private funding.
Unless they want to give equal time to conservatives, they should lose all funding. Lose it anyway, plenty of competition.
If they are worthwhile they should be able to support themselves.
Fine. Then stop selling Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch and any and all other merchandising... Choose one.
1) Continue to receive funds, and turn over all marketing and sales money for all figures and everything else that raises any monies over to the US Govt, and put it into an account, set up to reclaim taxpayer monies;
Or: 2) Keep any and all monies your raise on your own, and reject any and all taxpayer dollars.
You want Sesame Street get cable

Sesame St. needs to go first !!!!!
Its socialist brain poison.
