The war on Big Bird was already won when it signed a contract with HBO. The poors still get episodes 9 months later, but we already abdicated our responsibility to fund quality children's programming for all.
This is more like the War on Antiques Roadshow.
"The poors." Sad but true.
At least PBS is still free, so those non-premium episodes of Sesame Street can be viewed by "the poors" at all.
I raised my kids on Sesame Street. I do find it sad that kids without cable now have to wait 9 months to get those premier episodes. I guess that at the same time, we should be grateful to HBO for making sure we even have a Sesame Street at all.
Lamborn probably just doesn't like the science and fact based (read "liberal") grounding of public broadcasting programs. Ken Burns' Civil War series, for example, tells the real story of the Civil War from multiple points of view. He is not going to call it the War of Northern Aggression, or sentimentalize the confederate flag.
PBS and CPB, when they run specials on the effects of climate change, talk with real scientists about real data and real changes.
In Trump world, the only media outlets that should be subsidized by the American taxpayer are those willing to uncritically broadcast the Trump point of view. Voice of America will, unfortunately, soon be a Trump propaganda outlet. I'd guess that Lamborn will not have a problem subsidizing it.
You raised your kids on Sesame Street, Mama, and I was raised on it. I'm telling on myself, but I was just the right age for the beginning of Sesame Street.
CPB and NPR have interlinking finances – but the total is less than $500 million per year.
So, that could pay for 1.5 fighter jets (at the new low low price tag Trump is claiming credit for). Or double the number of military bands. Or nearly double the military's public relations efforts. Or go back into Syria and train another 4 or 5 fighters (not the planes – the individual soldiers). Or buy more "weapons, aircraft, patrol boats and equipment" to lose in Yemen, since we've already lost that amount there.
