http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Senator_GOP_targets_Elmo_and_Sesame_Street_for_destr_0610.html

The following release was issued by Senator Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, this morning, following a sharp budget cut by the House Appropriations Committee to public television funding.

In response to Republican efforts to reduce federal funding for children’s public television programs such as Sesame Street and Arthur, Sen. Lautenberg (D-.N.J), a grandfather of ten children, sent a message to his Republican colleagues; “Pick on somebody your own size.”

3. Is the ultimate goal to privatize PBS?
