At one point we had a republican super-majority but could not manage to defund PBS even though they have become a political outfit. They will never be defunded or reformed.
I'll never stop being grateful to PBS, or how moved i was, watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I hope a lot of school kids saw it.
I used to rush home to watch MacNeil Lehrer but that was quite a different PBS then. They stopped doing journalism right about when Lehrer retired. It has been leftist drek ever since.
Yeah, that was a great show. And occasionally I had the patience for Masterpiece Theater, which turned out to be worth it most of the time.
