Romney destroys Obama in debate
 
#8
To be fair, PBS is not funded only by the Federal Government, and has already stated that even if they lost all their government funding, they will survive. They'd have to tighten their belts mightily, but they won't simply fold and vanish. And they already take a level of corporate sponsorship; "M for McDonald's" isn't all that far from what they're doing already.

To be fair on the other side, though, CNN reports that PBS's funding constitutes 0.038% of the federal budget. Promising to kill PBS (and the NEA, and the like) is a cheap win off a favorite right-wing target that won't actually make a real difference to the deficit. It's like promising to round up a dangerous criminal gang by ensuring their window washer gets life in solitary.
