As night follows day, defenders of big government trotted out "Sesame Street's" Big Bird as the poster child of President Trump's terrible spending cuts.

The Daily Beast story on Trump's budget proposal to cut taxpayer funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting features an ax-wielding man about to chop Big Bird's head off. Politico has a story titled "Can Big Bird Survive Trump?" In a "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" segment mocking Trump's budget, Donald Trump fires Big Bird.

He doesn't.

Most people know that Sesame Street character licensing makes a ton of money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but did you know they are also raking in big bucks from the affiliate TV stations, too?  When I was working for the PBS station in Tempe it was thousands of dollars per episode, and we ran four a day.
