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.

you cant be serious with this post. can you?
parody. you show it almost every day.

Quite serious. Television needs a not-for-profit voice to attempt to counterbalance the commercialism in what is still the dominant medium, which isn't to say that commercialism is bad, but a haven from it is needed, and we should work to preserve that haven if we can.
Public good.

How about we take those subsidies from the green energy companies to fund pbs? What was it, almost half of those companies still went under anyways right? And the surviving ones helped fund Obama's campaign right? Seems fishy...

Or, could funnel billions to Halliburton in no bid contracts, and provide an exception named after them, so the components in the fracking liquid isn't subject to the regulations governing such areas. Nah, don't need to do anything with green, just stick with fossil fuels, and say it is what matters. Drill, baby, drill...
