It's foreign for me, and my taxes are already going to TV Ontario, which
runs has similar programming, not to mention the CBC, which has become
the propaganda wing of the Liberal government.

What I find annoying about PBS is that they air the good old stuff
during their begathons and then say that if you want to see more good
programming like whatever show they are airing, then make a pledge now.
All kinds of people get sucked into pledging money to support that show,
but then you don't see it again until the next begathon, when they once
again say that if you want to see that programming, call and make a
pledge now.
