"The federal government should not fund the partisan PBS. If they wish to continue to exist, then they should find funding from people who wish to support their points of view." Fine by me... I'm not much for government-operated news media anyway! Too many Orwellian possibilities in that arrangement. (Just look at Russia where the central government as taken editorial control of the broadcast outlets.) Still --- turning for a moment away from the concerns about Authoritarianism in such arrangements, and turning to just the financial side of the argument.... From a strictly financial point-of-view, PBS is EXTREMELY small potatoes, when measured up against the examples of government waste, corporate welfare, national industrial policies, special interest tax loopholes and such. From just the fiscal point, I doubt that the PBS issue could even rise to #500 on my list of government financial wastes to eliminate... but I do oppose the arrangement because of the worries about Big Government.
