5. There was a great piece on Delay on PBS |
|
June of last year. One of the ONLY things I'd seen on tv about how corrupt Delay is/was.
When I called to donate money and compliment them on the show, an older woman seemed upset that they would air such a thing! LOL! Kind of cracked me up...she worked for them yet had no idea what they were airing.
Horrible to hear this, though. :(

Let's focus on Alito today. He's not a moderate. He's not a Centrist. Republican Senators should keep hearing what the implications of what a vote for Alito will mean to this country. They should also hear about this piece of work as well.

11. Its only a program for Direct TV..........still on regular cable. |
|
There probably wasn't enough subscribers to justify continuing it. My local PBS Station is having a Monty Python special in a couple of weeks.

12. NOT just for Direct TV. It's on Dishnet too, and it's going off. |
|
There's a notice on the Dish net directing to pbs.org/pbsyou, which says that pbs funds have been cut and pbsyou can't afford to continue. Not a matter of subscribers since it was part of the basic package on both sat service.
Not subscribers, republicans. Boy do they have a lot to answer for come the revolution.
