Yes, let's defund two of the best educational tools available today the US. We're already falling behind the rest of the world, why not just screw ourselves over completely.
LOL....you actually believe that?
Well we had DNC TV/RADIO for decades.......if the functional illiterates of today are proof of its value.........
......cut it today..... and get a refund from the "Good Corporation" of Public Broadcasting tomorrow.

You do realize we wouldn't actually save that fraction of a fraction of a percent of our budget, it would just get spent elsewhere.
To total the taxpayer contribution every year since 1967 to this rathole.......would perhaps equate a spending cut big enough for you to get behind.
The chance to remove this albeit one of many wellstones...from this budget....and the next 20 budgets or eternity.......is perhaps a spending cut big enough for your bankrupt children to support.

So....we're going back nearly half a century to justify this outrage our we?
How much did we spend on the military in that time? Social security? Medicade/medicare? ****, in 50 years we've spent a ton more on well more projects than NPR. This is as stupid as an argument can get; you want to aggregate over decades and compare to yearly spending? Seriously? We pissed through over 40 years of NPR funding in a few days in Libya, but NPR is what's going to make my children broke? Seriously? This is your argument? You need to learn to think before you post.
Well it certainly justifies some of our debt and deficit........
Cutting the rathole of the CPB is but one of many steps. Its but one of many cuts......in trying to slay the beast. Its one step in a 14 Trillion dollar journey.
Saying we shouldnt take the step because its only a small step.......is why were bankrupt.....and a testament to willfull ignorance.

I don't think it's the "best", but PBS is the only station that shows Nova programs anymore. **** you Discover Channel!
Oh, wait, it's far more fun to force other people to pay for what you want, isn't it?
I don't think it's the "best", but PBS is the only station that shows Nova programs anymore. **** you Discover Channel!
The Discovery channel has become insulting, lowbrow media. Gold Rush, Myth Busters, Pawn Dicks (or whatever it is), American Loggers, Shark Week...
All sensational stuff, and nothing can be learned from a lot of it. Kudos for Planet Earth, though.

That's a dumb dumb dumb dumb statement. We're bankrupt now BECAUSE WE DON'T CUT THE BIG STUFF.
Cut NPR, do it. THen what? Are we really any closer? Are we going to say "well we cut NPR, so I guess we can go after the military now"?
This is a retarded deflection topic and nothing moe, i takes focus away from where it should be. And even if you cut NPR...so what? You think that money will be saved? You didn't change any dynamics, you didn't restrict government. They'll just spend that money elsewhere.
Myth Busters is convenient. Look at all the gun grabbing idiots who were wetting their pants at the thought that not denying Americans their Constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms just because they boarded an airplane would have prevented 9-11. The lame argument of the gun grabbers was that a itty bitty bullet could cause explosive decompression and kill everyone on the aircraft.
Pointing to the Aloha Airlines Convertible accident, in which the top of the plane ripped off, and killed only one unsecured stewardess, doesn't sway them.
But if the idiots are pointed to the Myth Busters episode where they try to create explosive decompression, the idiot gun grabbers shut up and go away for a while.
I say Myth Busters is essential anti-idiot medicine. PBS never did anything as useful as that.
That's what the cable companies did.
No... No, they didn't. No one forces you to pay the cable companies a dime. CPB is funded by money taken from you by threat of force against your liberty at the point of a gun.
Quite a substantial difference, and enough to nullify your comparison.
