   My 8 year old is "tired of the racist crap." I like PBS enough to watch the   
   extra channels they have (with cooking shows, travel shows, etc) but I'll   
   never forget Elmo giving a lecture about police brutality, and I won't miss   
   PBS one bit when I see the puppets sitting out on the curb.   
      
    RL> On top of that, media viewing on TV has dropped and continues to drop.   
      
   To me it seems like most people are watching Instagram/TikTok videos more than   
   TV. (I still watch TV but I'm a weird guy.)

   I used to always see the ad that says "This show was made possible from   
   contributions from viewers like you," and now I know what it really meant:   
   "Made possible with squandered tax dollars from taxpayers like you."
