>> NEWT gunning for funding for PBS Let's see, the federal funding for PBS is 14% of their income. They obviously have demonstrated the ability to fund themselves to the tune of over a billion dollars annually. If PBS can't survive without the 14% (or $285M) from federal funds … tough. Barney is the 3rd richest entertainer in America, maybe he'll float them a loan. Big Bird and friends gross more in merchandising sales annually than the federal funding for PBS — PBS does not need federal funding. -sja
