I remember Newt touting the need to "defund PBS" because with the dawn of cable The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, A & E and Bravo would be bringing us science, history and the arts making PBS redundant. LOL just take a look at what is on those channels today, the search for bigfoot, The Housewives of Wherever, Naked and Afraid, Wicked Tuna, etc. Definitely PBS quality! Right?
