WHY SAVE PBS?
(Click image to enlarge)
On Saturday, February 19th, the House of Representatives voted 235-189 to pass a continuing resolution that eliminates funding for public broadcasting. I put together this handy chart on why PBS is worth saving. Find out how you can fight back at 170 Million Americans.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I am Creative Director for PBS KIDS but a life-long supporter/watcher of PBS ;)
Pardon the history break but I feel this is important:
PBS has hand a hand in creating some of the most well made documentary series on the 20th Century (for example, Ken Burns’ The War), actively shows documentaries that other wise would never be seen on tv (the BBC’s mini series Auschwitz comes to mind) and has a wealth of information online about the Great War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Cold War, Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm.
It costs $1.75. If it is possible, it needs to be saved.
