good. if it was quality programming to begin with it wouldn't need our tax dollars to exist.

The government shouldn't be involved in the arts, then public art just becomes propaganda like with the whole modern art/CIA connection.

People made art long before government existed and they don't need to be told how to do it to be effective.

why are they using a picture of seasame street? they already moved over to HBO

this.

Is there anything more obnoxious than the artist?

I used to play piano and a bunch of other instruments, got good enough to start playing in front of crowds or lounges but it was shit money.

I didn't hold any delusion, I was good but not that good and musicians are a dime a dozen.

All these liberal artists types have to come to realize that they're most likely aren't the next Micheal Angelo or Warhol or whoever the fuck.

upload it to the cloud. fire the fuck outta those lefttards

What are kids going to watch who don't have rich parents that spend money on them?

Dr. Phil?

Sesame Street doesn't need to be subsidized. Hell, Disney would buy it in a heart beat.

But even at that, the corporation for public broadcasting gets something like 15% of their revenue from the feds. They can live without taxpayers.

Good, its all diversity crap and woo Mexico.

Let's Make a Deal is comfiest daytime television without contest.

Reminds me we need to defund SBS over here, god they're getting worse.

please don't do it - PBS makes some outstanding documentaries

PBS has telemarathons every two days. You're telling me they don't have enough money?

Good, no one should be forced to pay for their own (((brainwashing))) and the promotion of utter crap pretending to be art.

like what? the only recent stuff i've enjoyed is the occasional nature documentary and maybe 50% of nova's output.
to be fair, i don't care about the docs about musicians and whatnot, but i can see why people might enjoy those.

Relax, faggot.

Do you know how many seasons Seseme Street has had?

Do you know what re-runs are?

At least 35 seasons are available.

Soon to be available on demand on the Internet.

Win/win.

>$2.5 billion
>"doesn't amount to a hill of beans "

I always hated the spots where they put in the movie stars n shit to teach about something. ytf would a child care about these stupid celebrities? Their format also changed from being a slower pace, to more quick scene because, apparently, kids don't pay attention anymore. There's loads of cgi... Im bitter. Its not the Sesame Street of my childhood. Let it die.

PBS kids programming is great and spares their having to see a bunch of jew commercials u dumb fuck

Good. PBS has been a bias rag for decades and dumping money in to the arts have given us art that is indistinguishable from garbage.

They don't want none

The only good things on PBS were their travel and crafting shows and they've stopped showing those in favor of low budget propaganda and hours and hours of telethons.

>2.5 billion dollarydoos
>"doesn't amount to a hill of beans"

So you want the movie Idiocracy to come true?

Art doesn't just mean fine art you moron.

Some kids are artistic, some are gifted at math, some are gifted in different areas. Children need access to all of these to excel in them.

There's a Sesame Street muppet with AIDS and another one on Food Stamps. Degenerate.

>implying they couldn't rely on donations

>kids need 2.5 billion dollars so a TV show can tell them how to do art
A pack of crayons is probably 15 dollars tops.

>Being against forced funding =/= being against the thing itself.

Try again lefty

Art is not a trade you stupid fuck, it should be encouraged at a foundational level, not on a creepy network built to brainwash kids into "Clean up clean up everybody everywhere!" which always turns out to be another pedo in a costume (Barney, Pee Wee, etc)

Idiocracy was a satire about how things already are, but it would be pretty damn impressive requiring genius manipulations to get the exact timeline and companies to come "true".

>Idiot thinks PBS only makes Sesame Street.

So? Saving billions of dollars on something one can figure out themselves sounds like a logical idea.

>Thinks commercial art is created with crayons

What a fucking degenerate amerifat.

Kek look at this fat burger. God, I'm ashamed to be American sometimes because fat asses like you live here.

>Thinks Art is not a trade.

Commercial art is a multi trillion dollar industry you fuckhead and it's the backbone of any democracy.

Trump is literally President Camacho.

The NEA is nothing but leftist subsidized propaganda. Look up the Gorilla Girls and Piss Christ connection to the NEA. I've long looked into the modern art scene and the NEA is one of the main culprits of its degeneracy. Im on mobile and would post more but its late.

Maybe I'll post a thread with all you need to know about the NEA tomorrow..

Go save billions on other shit.

Not PBS. They make great docus and have some nice shows.

>PBS
>relevant
nah

PBS is so comfy tho!

>Picture of one of the most recognized children's characters of all time
What do you suppose the sesame street franchise/merchandising alone is worth, Chaim?

No

Not really, just shit the government wants pushed.

>aids muppet
my sides

maybe they'll fucking go to the library and read books.

They can easily set up a netflix like website and charge people who are interested.

Why do people always have to get other who don't give a shit about their hobby to pay for it.

>Wants to kill
>Official

Op needs a lesson in reading comprehension.

What is with that fucking headline? "It's official?" No it fucking isn't because it says right in the fucking article that it could still change. Jesus fucking Christ.

148.6 Dicks.

PBS is fairly independent when it comes to docus and educational shit.

NPR is more left -- but reality has a left POV, if you idiot conservacucks haven't realized yet.

Yes
they were ok back in high school, basically showing porn on saturday nights

but then again, that just shows they have always been subversive degenerate cunts, and fuck the lot of them. ABC too

The quality has been getting progressivley worse. Their science documentaries have almost dissolved. Nature too.

>I really like leftist tv paid for by non leftists cause this teaches me reality is leftist which justifies forcing non-leftists to pay for my leftist tv.

wrestling is awesome though

They shouldn't even be watching television. You know burger, TV is not a human right.

every third sentence:
Due to climate change...

No, it's not that independent. And the only thing good to come from PBS, ever, was Sesame Street. But it's time to shut it down. And when did I reject another viewpoint? I'm pointing out that almost all of what's viewed on PBS can be found either on the internet, in books (God forbid anyone reads these), and/or in social groups. Shit like that does not need to be broadcast on a television and keep people glued to the TV.

>Thinking society is stuck in the 1960s

You're a fucking degenerate. Newer kids pick up things much faster due to access to information that trumps libraries. PBS needs to be aligned with that so it helps them more.

What are you a fat 50 year old stuck in Iowa?

>Less federal money producing leftist propaganda and brainwashing
And this is a band thing why?

So lets see, we can quadruple money on the industrial war complex but not education?

Wew Toothbrush, are you sure you're not an Americuck? Just come live here you'll fit right in. Faggot.

>but reality has a left POV
Maybe in your sheltered little community, but most of the world runs on dictatorship.

Good.

The only person it would hurt is (((you)))

Federal funding is a tiny fraction of PBS and NPR's budget.

And I fucking hate the "it's only 0.00x% of the budget!" argument. That shit adds up.

Obviously we won't solve our budgetary woes by only trimming around the edges but every little bit counts.

Good. Facts are liberal brainwashing. Everything I need to know I learn from Trump.

It'll be fun watching liberals try to fund PBS with their tears

>Jew thinks cutting off funding to the """"""""""""""""arts"""""""""""""""" is bad

Why am I not surprised?

Actually, any one of them could become the next Warhol. He possessed no talent, skill or maturity.

>Sesame Street
>Only good thing

Mr. Rogers is disappointed in you. Really lots of good stuff has come from PBS they just don't do politics very well. Which is fine really considering I watched PBS for years and barely even know they covered anything political. They have interesting and informative nature documentaries and their children's programming is pretty decent.

>children can gain more information from tv than in its purest form
you could have benefited from the process of reading yourself, my friend. too bad you have been stunted to such an extent.

People become retarded brainwashed idiots more often from reading stupid shit than watching television.

>amerifat!
>degenerate!
>drumpf is an orange cheeto

Ah yes. I was wondering what would break first: your spirit or your body.

I don't like being forced to pay for other people's wars either.

See what all this propagandized television has done to your brain my Yankee brother? you can't even think outside the democrat/republican dichotomy. Gay shaming me for not wanting to pay for your television preference, I wonder what Bert and Ernie would have to say about that :(

If only there was some place that we could broadcast programs for free that would be accessible to people everywhere... Damn, sucks this thing doesn't exist yet.

well that's not a reason not to read books, it's a reason not to read trash books. there's no way you can reasonably infer that a person who reads a plenitude of literature is going to be surpassed by someone who watches the history channel all day. you can't genuinely believe that. hell, even the most information rich sources on the internet are funnily enough, in text. which can also be found in books. different format, same representation. I don't think the damned idiot box is going to make you better prepared to be a person.

most of their funding isn't even from the government

fake misleading news

>Kids today aren't more degenerate and cucked than kids 50 years ago

Seriously, are you backward? Or are you going to post muh gen z meme?

Trump wants to ban Sesame Street?

THIS

Government television usually turns into communist garbage after a while.

and you think they won't get them if you defund public schooling?

high literacy skill has actually gone down since the public school indoctrination factories were adopted. overall literacy rates have increased slightly but they were already increasing before this.

You shouldn't be forced to pay for your children's indoctrination.

You can get through a lot more content in the same amount of time using the televisual form.

They don't need our tax dollars, let them survive on their own if they are so good.

Next up, main stream media.

Why does Sesame Street need almost 3 billion dollars to survive.

>Fuck em', stop takin' muh money!
The government gives about 445 million dollars to PBS, if you pay taxes that is $1.50, enough to provide you more cheap whiskey and dragon dildos on your McJob. Also they aren't exclusively funded by the government.

>Children need access to all of these to excel in them.
And PBS is the one and only place to get "all of these"?

>Also they aren't exclusively funded by the government.
They don't need to be funded by the government at all.

Doesn't the UK government charge you cable tax even if you don't have cable?

Get fucked Nigel.

it's not about the speed of absorption, but the level of absorption, you need repetition, confirmation, and interconnections to help you understand a concept in its fullness. when you ask a person about what they saw on tv the other day, they can usually tell you a few quotes they remembered, but doubtlessly will just extrapolate in a bullshitty way. "oh yeah those pyramids, did you know they're really electrical devices made for energy collection? i saw it on a documentary the other day, a whole bunch of scientists supported it". that's literally something i heard this very day with a couple of friends. It's depressing that you think somehow the current state of television teaches anyone anything at all. sure, i will agree that documentaries sometimes do a great job at summarizing an event in history or a concept, but if you really want to totally understand and have an intelligent conversation about something, you have to fucking read about it, in a book, in an article, doesn't matter where, but you're going to have to fucking read it. just like you're reading this god damned post right here. but i bet you'd rather just watch my youtube video about it instead, you lazy fucking cuck.

You need to stop looking at the world through your rose coloured glasses you fucktard.

fuck off PBS is great

also
FAKE NEWS

Are you by any chance 65 years old and life hasn't exactly went the way you envisioned?

>government funds an organisation
>organisation advocates for greater government control and spending

Who'd have thunk

I'M NOT TIRED OF WINNING YET!

America doesn't want to be like Britain where TV licenses are an actual thing and government resources are spent trying to catch British people secretly watching TV in their homes.

Jesus Christ we are doomed. This is how the next generation thinks

How do all the programs on Netflix and Hulu survive? If the programming is worth anything, they'll be able to fund it. They do a ton of pledge drives each year and they have tons of corporate sponsors. Time to get off the public dole.

Less parents watch public television though.

They have Netflix and the internet.

As for commercials, adblockers exist so yeah.

PBS is outdated.

Kids should be playing with blocks or toy cars and other stuff than watching TV.

I bet any modern kid would rather play Minecraft than watch PBS programming.

>Kangaroo

Netflix especially uses extensive data research to create content based on what people like and want to watch. Also it is a private company and can do whatever the fuck it wants and it's not held accountable to ANY standards -- hence why go watch all the SJW shit on Netflix.

PBS and NPR are free propaganda for the DNC.
Glad Trump is defunding that crap.

Every kid seems to own a smartphone these days no matter how poor their parents are.

>National Endowment for the Arts
>Immersion (Piss Christ) is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition, which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.

Dude got paid to dunk a crucifix in his own peepee, snap a pic, and then fuck up the color correction.

And artist always go on about integrity , but god forbid they can't get some filthy lucre to make their macaroni pictures. Pretentious fuckers the lot of them.

But there aren't any other channels that play nature documentaries I can fall asleep to at 3am.

OH NO

CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO READ BOOKS NOW

WHAT A FUCKING NIGHTMARE
