Big Bird under attack!!! The Republicans want to cut PBS's funding by 42%. The Republicans have never really liked PBS calling it to "Liberal". For example when the show Buster's Roadtrip featured a lesiban couple the Republicans picthed one serious fit. The Republicans are trying to destroy PBS and I can't stand that. Post your views.

Hehe. Sorry. I'm explain. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a non-profit public broadcasting television service with 349 member TV stations in the United States. Its funded by viewers and largerly by the U.S. government. And Sesame Street is an educational television program designed for young children of all ages, and is recognised as a pioneer of the present-day standard of combining education and entertainment in televised shows. It is well-known for the inclusion of the Muppet characters created by the legendary puppeteer Jim Henson. More than 4000 episodes of the show have been produced in 36 seasons, making it one of the longest-running shows in television history. <Thats were Big Bird comes from.

I love PBS. I hope their funding doesn't get cut.
And I don't think it's liberal, either. They show a lesbian couple and suddenly their entire channel is biased towards the left? If the New York Times did a positive article about a Christian family, would that make them conservative?

A lot of families don't want there little kids to be watching that kinda stuff, since some of them don't support that. After all, Postcards from Buster is geared toward pre-school aged children.

The point is the promote understanding. Like I though it was great when they talked about that Muslim family.
Anyway, the Republicans lost and the funding stays!
