I used to like certain shows too       until they became woke. Jeopardy & The Price Is Right, for examples. I used to       listen to mainstream heavy metal too, until the birth of wokeism ruined it for       me.               RL> The "viewers like you" probably only accounted for 50% of their operating        RL> budget. And that would have been decades ago when they played shows that        RL> people wanted to watch.              They should live up to their name and literally open the broadcasting to the       public. I'd like to say a few things on it. I bet that after you, me, joe, and       greg pass the mic around a few times, people would start to appreciate PBS       once again.               RL> It was obvious that if the local PBS was an actual, non-subsidized        RL> broadcaster they would quickly go out of business.              Surely some "good samaritan" like the Soros Foundation will pick up the tab.              "Sponsored by the Soros Foundation: Replacing equality with equity one       sponge-brain at a time."              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/200)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 700 705       SEEN-BY: 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200 202 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 342/200 229/426           |
