      They have nothing else to compare it to.

      Why do you think they are so hot to defund PBS?

      Talk to anyone who was around in the Cronkite Era.

      There were laws that kept any single entity from owning a lot of TV or radio stations nationally. No one could own more than one TV station and two radio stations [AM and FM] in one market. Reagan came in and decimated the FCC

      It is of course a running joke, other than Tammy 2 there is no reason to hate libraries so much. Do you think viewers took it seriously?

        Seriously? Of course not. However there are subconscious / subliminal effects in all forms of entertainment, especially Television / movies. Tell a vision, (television) programming the human mind. TV channels (channeling; spells).

      Lol no. Have people ever done drugs in a library? Sure. They e also done them at churches, and schools, and town centers, and pretty much everywhere.

      Have people ever had sex in libraries? Sure. They e also had sex at churches, and schools, and town centers, and pretty much everywhere.

      Are all of those places now drug ridden sex dens? Lol no. But Fox clearly has an agenda to get rid of free places that educate and assist people. They could do the same article and just say “public schools” so that conservatives clutch their pearls and buy into charter or religious private schools.

      Conservatives are a simple, fearful bunch.
