Some of your tax dollars are already spent on PBS. Just like any other arena (such as the BBC) where people and ideas don't have to compete - it's dominated by lefties. Write to your representative now. ;-)

Oh.....believe me -- I'm well aware of all that. It's just that the power of PBS is small potatoes in the US when it's compared to the near-dictatorial power of the BBC in the UK.

Although PBS is bad enough on it's own. PBS sincerely wishes that it had clout comparable to that of the BBC. But over here, Rush Limbaugh has a gazillion times the audience that PBS does. Much to the irritation of some.

I recall the flap during the initial stages of the Iraq war over British troops not wanting to be fed satellite BBC broadcasts -- because of the BBC's stance on the situation -- and, by reflection, on the soldiers. IIRC, the British troops wanted Sky News (the European sister of Fox). ((Edited for a typo.)) Message edited on: 03/06/2006 17:41
