PBS Is A Waste

Here's an interesting tidbit about a PBS documentary titled "Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories" which first aired on October 20:

According to PBS statistics, the program has been aired by 235 stations, about 69% of all PBS stations, some 387 times between its Oct. 20 debut and Nov. 20. That group of stations is available to 77% of all U.S. TV households, but the number of people having viewed that actual program would be only a tiny fraction of those households, perhaps less than 1%, according to fragmentary data.

Now that's a considerable bang for the buck...and all at taxpayer's expense. PBS occassionaly hits the mark with worthwhile programming, but for the most part it's a playground for the wealthy and elitist to view programs covering their pet issues. Enough is enough.
