7. I like "Masterpiece Theater" but it use to be on broadcast TV when I was
a kid and was then sponsored by Mobile or some other gas company. Their ratings got low so PBS picked them up. They were good while they didn't have sponsors and relied on public donations. My local station even has commercials from local shops and if they show something they don't like they really scream about it.

Maybe if we all donated and called our local PBS station and tell them we want to see more liberal spots and we pay to see it just like the shops, and Mobile, and the Reps do, we could get more or equal shows on.

By the way, who owns PBS????
