Having someone who lies in how funding occurs, then will not admit the lie and instead attack others, is the resume of a liberal.
Why do that? Try doing something civil for a change.
We taxpayers are paying for PBS. It makes no difference if it is a good program or if others pay it too. The attention is on whether taxpayers should be on the hook for it. I happen to believe no.
You seem to support paying for it with taxpayer dollars, correct?
No more insults, please, as this is a good forum.
Taxpayer dollars also pay for roads you will never drive on,also. Not to mention fire stations that will never put out a fire in your house,military defense from an attack that will likely never happen,etc,etc,etc.
This is a big country with many varied interests that need to be served. Meeting those varied needs IS the purpose of government.
The federal tax draw from PBS is minuscule,the cost to administer it through the CPB,which IS to PBS what the FCC is to privately owned radio and tv stations.
Almost all the funding comes from contributions from viewers,and some local and state taxes because each station is also administered at the state level. if you really want to control it,contact your local and state authorities about the local and state tax contributions to your state PBS,or get yourself on the board.
