Well, I'm not a citizen but PBS has no compunctipon about asking Canadians
for money, so (I used to subsrcibe until I noticed that the *only* time
KCTS Seattle noticed that Canada was next door was during pledge
drives).....
Why does NPR have a duty to serve the "entire public"? Much of the
public (presumably) is already being served by commercial radio, should
NPR compete?
Does PBS really need Austin City Lilmits?
Does *anyone* need Charlie Rose....
