No MORE PBS ? No MORE NPR ?

"A House subcommittee voted yesterday to sharply reduce the federal government's financial support for public broadcasting, including eliminating taxpayer funds that help underwrite such popular children's educational programs as "Sesame Street," "Reading Rainbow," "Arthur" and "Postcards From Buster."
In addition, the subcommittee acted to eliminate within two years all federal money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting -- which passes federal funds to public broadcasters -- starting with a 25 percent reduction in CPB's budget for next year, from $400 million to $300 million. " -


There is a very good reason why I type this in BOLD AND RED ! This is a sign of an anti progress universe. This government is definitely trying to put us a GIANT LEAP backwards. How can you shut off something that started Sesame Street ? GoodBye Burt - Hello HeeHaw!!!
