CLINTON'S IDEA OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING: Jerry Springer's President Funds Jerry: Degrading and prurient Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Connecticut Democrat, and Sen. Daniel R. Coats, Indiana Republican, fired off a letter yesterday to Education Secretary Richard W. Riley, expressing outrage that the department is using federal funds for the closed-captioning of "The Jerry Springer Show." Congress has appropriated money to help pay for such captions in order to provide "enriched educational and cultural experiences" for deaf TV viewers. "If you have seen 'The Jerry Springer Show' recently, we are confident you will share in our outrage that the federal government is not only using taxpayer funds to subsidize this degrading and prurient program at all, but it is also judging it to be of some educational and cultural value," the senators said. "The fact is that 'The Jerry Springer Show' ... is the closest thing to pornography on broadcast television. It regularly features such perverse subject matter as pregnant strippers, teen-age prostitutes, and undertaker sex, and characteristically exploits and revels in the problems of its guests." The senators asked Mr. Riley to end the program's taxpayer subsidy. washtimes.com
