This is an effort, I believe, to privatize PBS and NPR. Republicans want to privatize everything else.

Losing PBS isn't that big a deal to me, not since the Wall Street Journal started running those ridiculous commentary pieces on the network. Though I would miss watching Jim Lehrer every night (who everyone should get their news from; no one is better or more neutral). But losing NPR would be really tough. It's the only radio I listen to.

I mean, where else can you listen to back to back stories on the war in Iraq and which city has the best barbecue? Priceless stuff.
