There’s something sadly entertaining about an elitist, documentary filmmaker with over 200K followers claiming that we should continue funding PBS because the poor, rural, ignorant hicks rely on it since they don’t have any other ‘signal’ out in the boonies.
To be fair, this toolbag isn’t the first to make that claim, but that doesn’t make him any less annoying.
Watch this:
John Dickerson: “Make the case for PBS.” BS from @KenBurns on @FaceTheNation: “It is the Declaration of Independence applied to the communications world….It mainly serves rural areas in which the PBS signal may be the only signal they get.

Post includes:
They have…homeland security, crop reports, weather, emergency information. That we’re going to take away? This seems foolhardy and seems misguided mainly because there is a perception among a handful of people that this is somehow a blue or a left wing thing when this is the place that for 32 years gave William F. Buckley a show.”
Oooh, they gave William F. Buckley a whole show?! HOW CONSERVATIVE.
HA HA HA HA HA
Oh, man. These people.
Lol PBS loses their minds if a conservative guest is booked today. It’s comical how quick higher ups will email to cancel interviews.

Some day those rural hicks might get running water & indoor toilets too.

We can only hope.
More than 50% of the time I flip to an NPR station, the topic is about sex or race victimhood in one form or another. A good part of the rest of the time it is partisan politics or enviro-panic.

He’s not getting crop reports? SAY IT AIN’T SO.

Buckley has been dead for 17 years, maybe an updated reference would be appropriate

Them thar farmers love PBS! The most rural place Ken has even been is Ann Arbor.

How long ya’ got?
“The only signal they get”. Do these people think it’s 1927? This is ridiculous.

Poor hicks don’t even know what cable is! This freakin’ guy.
