Republicans take a shot at Big Bird?
Here we go again. If you stop sending someone money, you're attacking them?
Jun 10, 2005: Republicans take a shot at Big Bird:
Republicans on the House subcommittee that controls public broadcasting have voted to reduce and eventually eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting. The effects would be disastrous.
Children, parents, and teachers deserve a network that provides safe, high-quality programming; and it should come without the threat of destructive political influence.
The effects would be disastrous if you're on the public dole (oops, I meant if you get government money for your programs). Children, parents and teachers deserve exactly what they're willing to pay for themselves. If they want this so bad, let them fork out the cash from their own pockets instead of picking the pockets of their neighbors who don't want, don't care about or actively oppose the socialist messages put out by PBS. If you don't want disastrous political influence in your shows, then don't take money from politicians! Hello!
If their shows are so great, they should be able to fund them from people who are willing to pay for them. If no one wants them then they should fade away.
