@Not Me$ While I sympathize with your sentiments, this kind of "vengeance is mine" shtick is kind of a joke, *every time it comes up, which is more often than people seem to know. NPR, and PBS derive less than 2% of their budget from taxpayers. The rest comes from deep pocket foundations, donors, and others. I absolutely *love their "Nova" program, but it *does make my anal sphincter "clutch" a bit every time I see them credit "David Koch" (Founder of ALEC, even as dead as he IS) for his *major contributions to whitewashing ..... ahem, .... I mean, to science. So, both stations *could easily let the taxpayers go soak their heads while the other 98%+ of the deep pocket funders are asked to "make up" the less than 2% difference. Sorry.
