Simple, and constitutional, solution - abolish PBS. The constitution
gives no authority to the federal government to run a TV or Radio network,
especially one with a relentless left wing bias. PBS is unconstitutional.
And since there was NOTHING in the article about "Christianizing" we see
that - once again - YOU LIED.

Anything that doesn't parrot the fascist political line, qould seem to you
to have a left-wing bias. The worst thing about PBS is that is it horribly
boring, as the producers bend over backwards not to say anything that could
be proved to be partisan, instead filling the airwaves with total crap..

Anything that is scientific or educational in nature is considered
'liberal'.
Maybe you should see about having all the universities, medical
schools and law schools shut down because they are too 'liberal'.
And since there was NOTHING in the article about "Christianizing" we see
that - once again - YOU LIED.
He never said that the article said anything about Christianizing. He
just called them that.
learn to read - might try a sesame street program or two if big bird
isn't too liberal for you to watch.

Those medical schools are evil! They teach that men and women have
the same number of ribs. The country will be punished for such
abominations!

Simple, and constitutional, solution - abolish PBS. The constitution
gives no authority to the federal government to run a TV or Radio network,
especially one with a relentless left wing bias. PBS is unconstitutional.
Ther Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 2, Clause
2:
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the
Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present
concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent
of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the
United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided
for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by
Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think
proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads
of Departments."
Congress is given the power to create additional departments of
government. Show me where the Constitution proivides for the
Department of State, the Treasury, or for the US Coast Guard or Air
Force.
PBS was established by Congress in 1967, and signed into law by
President Johnson.

Oh, come on. The Constitutiom allows the government to conduct foreign
policy (State), to raise money (Treasury), to defend our shores (Coast
Guard),
and the Air Force was originally the US Army Air Corps.

But nowhere does it explictly allow the creation of offices to control
those functions (the only authorized full time military force is the
United States Navy.)
But II/2/2 allows the creation by Congress of new offices to handle
duties. That was my point.
