PBS’S TAXPAYER-FUNDED TV COMMERCIALS TO LOBBY CONGRESS FOR MORE FUNDING ARE WRONG, SAYS MRC PRESIDENT BRENT BOZELL
“Now that PBS’s overwhelming liberal bias is well-documented and under the microscope, Congress has wisely decided to cut PBS’s funding. In defiance of Congress, PBS, using taxpayers’ money, has produced and is airing highly deceptive TV commercials that warn about threats to ‘children’ and ‘Clifford the Red Dog,’” said Mr. Bozell. “This is outrageous, and is one more example of how far liberal media bureaucrats will go to spend the money of hard-working Americans to promote ideas and programming that are political to the core, and contrary to the basic values of the majority of Americans. “Shows like ‘Sesame Street’ and ‘Clifford’ are not threatened. They are multi-million-dollar enterprises, fully capable of success in the marketplace. PBS was launched 38 years ago with supposed ‘seed money’ to get it going. Since then, it has spent some $7 billion in ‘seed money’ -- provided by taxpayers – and produced a litany of liberal-left programs sprinkled with some decent kids’ shows to give it a respectable veneer. It’s time to end the media welfare program that is PBS.” For an extensive resource on PBS’s liberally biased programming, see the Media Research Center’s Web site, www.mrc.org.
