No one likes to have to sit through the interminably long commercials on commercial TV! However, there is one thing worse. If public financing means that Administrations like the George W. Bush Administration can foist their own twisted ideas on all the PBS watchers, then I think that's a BAD thing! I see a lot of "Carrier" shows are on PBS now, and to me, that just means that Bush and Cheney have too much influence on PBS, and can make them show whatever Bush and Cheney want them to show. In my opinion, the PBS show "Carrier" is just another attempt to propagandize the American public. So, if that is the result of public financing then I do not want any part of it. Absolutely YES!
