#Newt vs PBS
Pat,
That still doesn't explain why PBS should continue to be federally subsidized.
There are many other choices out there that, in my opinion, offer better or
equal programming, more professionally produced, than PBS.
In today's climate, where there are dozens, and soon to be hundreds, of
choices, PBS can succeed of fail on their own like everyone else. They
currently raise more than $1B a year in funding … there is no need for the
taxpayer to kick in an additional 14% of their funding (or $285M).
