PBS programming...easy to see why there are forces at work trying to kill it.

Consider our Porsche's, as they are not for everyone, and neither is PBS.

Here's what programming one won't see on PBS: the people and or persons with paranormal abilities or superpowers. The Jerry-Springer style
"news", complete with local car chase scene's so we can stay "informed".
Another cop show...another medical show...walking dead shows...talking smack shows, and the endless
violence, explosions, etc ad nasuem.

Although many of their programs can be considered dry, seeing some of their programs, such as the recent Roosevelt Series, the history of the Jews coming to America, the PBS News Hour(which I actually feel like I came away from like it wasn't a dog-n-pony show), etc makes for actual pleasurable viewing versus
someone trying to appeal to the most basic primal level of violence and sex.

Maybe some of you can notice what happened to other cable channels, such as the History Channel(and what it has become) for instance.

I consider PBS one of the last vestiges of humanity, in a world on the fast track to nowhere.

My 2-cents.
