While gazing at a historical program (well at least one version of history) on PBS, we here at the homestead were amazed to hear the following broadcast schedule.
Jun. 28, 2007: PBS hosts a debate of the 2008 Democratic presidential candidates at Howard University in Washington, DC
Sep. 27, 2007: PBS hosts a debate of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD
We often question the place of taxpayer dollars in broadcasting television.
In this case we certainly question the use of our taxpayer dollars to beam political debates into our homes.
While we expected the democrats to jump on the “spending somebody else’s money” bandwagon, we are somewhat ashamed that the Republicans did not take to high road on this issue.
Setting aside the fact that PBS has no history of being neutral in political matters,,,, did we give them permission to squander our funds in this manner?
Let me get this straight;
Tax money for Troops in the field of battle, bad.
Our tax dollars for illegal aliens, bad art, failed social programs and now polical promotion, good..
