Why do the presidential debates matter in the day of the Internet?

It's perfectly valid, because PBS is a fine institution, if only for what it provides to children, and costs America little. Not like Oil Subsidies which, small as they may be, do nothing but line the pockets of big oil.

So killing PBS would be like getting rid of a good .txt file.

This is such a stupid meme. Those oil company "subsidies" are nothing more than the deductions that every company gets (domestic manufacturing, capital equipment, etc.), and oil companies still pay a much higher rate than other companies.

I know it's a daunting concept, but do try to understand that just because you're fond of PBS doesn't mean that everyone should pay for it.

It serves a public good. Things that serve public good get funded... publicly.

That is a very flawed statement there, I'll give you a second to realize and retract...
