3. They view PBS as "liberal" because it's not part of "the (corporate-bought) program".

You know what the saying is: the truth has a liberal flavor to it.

How does the GOP remedy this to their favor? They buy up all the media; for the network they can't buy & control, they take away its funding.

a good opportunity to remind public representatives of the difference between "public" and "commercial" benefits.

7. They're set to vote this week on HR1

Which is for continued funding for the remainder of the fiscal year. It calls for the elimination of CPB funding which means stations will have to give money back. Please visit www.170MillionAmericans.org to take action. Thanks.

8. NPR

I might be more moderate then some of you, but I will agree that this is a joke! NPR serves a very important purpose and has awesome programming that improves our society.
