This meme needs to go beyond Big Bird!

[BarackTheVote]

Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Captain Kangaroo, Nova, the Cosmos with Carl Segan, Bob Ross's Joy of Painting, Frontline, The News Hour, the McLaughlin Group, Masterpiece Theater, the FUCKING LAWRENCE WELK SHOW...

PBS programming has touched our lives in so many ways, and Romney wants to put it ALL off the air! Let's blow this thing UP!

1. No kidding. Nice rich vein just ripe for mining!

I WISH I was a photoshopper!

[hedgehog]

2. Season 3 of Downton Abbey!

[Indpndnt]

5. Yes! Push that! That will resonate with many people.

Downton Abbey might get axed by Willard! It just won all kinds of awards. Let Willard fend off the fans of that show along with the families of Sesame Street preschool viewers.

3. Add Great Performances, This Old House

and a slew of gardening & cooking shows. Anything from the Children's Television Network.

Rethug picayune "defund Planned Parenthood", "defund PBS", "defund National Endowment for the Arts", etc. It's time that THEY are defunded and buried.

4. Captain Kangaroo was a CBS program

Some PBS stations picked up re-runs of it in 1986, but that's neither here nor there.

6. What percentage of the budget is PBS? nm

[BarackTheVote]

9. .00012% of the federal budget

PBS gets 15% of its budget from the federal government, but some rural members are subsidized up to 60% by federal funding.

12. PBS' annual budget

would run the Department of Defense for about four hours. And speaking of the DoD, Romney wants to give them another $2T over the next ten years to play with, money they aren't even asking for.

[PD Turk]

8. Exactly!

[ginnyinWI]

10. please--Mr Rogers would hate that picture.

He was a big pacifist.

[PD Turk]

I think Mitt's gone far enough to even piss off Mr Rogers with this shit

[Incitatus]
