Here is the conservative problem with NPR and PBS funding. The fiscal year 2007 funding for both was to be 460 million dollars, however, the President wants that cut by 114 million, for a total of 346 million funded by you and me the tax payer. The problem is that you and me the tax payer, year in and year out spend some 800 million dollars on Sesame Street merchandising alone.

So if Sesame Street alone earns $800 million, and it cost the federal government $460 million, how come none of this money is spent on funding the programming. If this was a corporation doing this, all you liberals would be crying about the corporate welfare out there. Come now, time to be fair if you can be, however, do to your crying here, we see that you have no clue on who to do just that.

That is just one example of the mismanagement of PBS.

While President Bush asked Congress to approve defense spending of $622 billion -- much of it for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- as he unveiled a $2.9 trillion budget request for the 2008fiscal year? What a joke you would even consider such a cut as 114 million going to PBS as necessary. Its like a penny compared to $10,000.
Please.

Conservatives don't like NPR because it tells the truth in the least biased way of any news station. And since the truth hurts their cause, and the unbiased nature of the station makes it hard to rail against NPR, they want to cut it's funding...
