Sometimes you have to believe that the gods must appreciate irony. Take the juxtaposition of these two news stories...
-US House sets half-million dollar penalties for on-air obscenity
and
-Conservatives and Rivals Press a Struggling PBS
Conservatives object to obscenity and trash on television, but one of the main TV targets of their ire: the one network that never airs obscenity or trash... even at the risk of being labeled by some as staid and boring.
I get the feeling that some people would like to eliminate television altogether... except for Fox News Channel..

Good golly, I let my boys watch PBS while I make them lunch and the most elitist and liberal things that they have learned involve basic arithmetic and how to sing the A-B-C song in Spanish.
More importantly NH Public TV broadcasts UNH Wildcats games, pretty much the only hockey I see on TV.
It is strange how Public TV is struggling but Public Radio seems to be thriving and growing.
It's worth noting, JD, that the so infamous and over-cited Neville Chamberlain was a Conservative.
