Man you guys are an absolute hoot! I'm trying to figure out why we need a constitutional change to allow funding of a public network... I've found the documentaries, educational programs, and news programs to be money well spent.

Fox news, what a joke. I enjoyed watching some of it, mainly for live coverage of certain events during the Iraq War, but their "Fair & Balanced" stuff is farcical, like "compassionate conservative." Fox was sending most of the gung ho propaganda out unfiltered by critical thinking--I lost track of how many times we found WMD's and "got Saddam." Journalism? Hardly, especially watching make-up boy go on about his "G-Block," what ever the hell that was. Fox is entertainment, not journalism. Presently it is mainly entertainment for the Right. The opposite of Fox is not PBS...Al Jazeera perhaps, but not PBS.

But discussing this with the Right is like trying to deprogram a cultist. PBS is biased because they don't see everything the GOP's way...fine logic you have there. It gets back to that "righteous" aspect again.
