Re: [TowerTalk] PBS documentary

I believe you will find that PBS receives less than 10% of its funding from the 
government.  Slightly over 50% is member funding (donations), remainder is from 
from corporate and institutional sponsors who get short advertising spots.  

PBS is probably the best open source of news in the USA; I don't always agree 
with them (their unquestioning reporting of manmade global warming for example) 
but I find I can just turn down the volume in those cases rather than suffer a 
seizure.
