Mr.Bee (1,982 posts)PBS Is Good For You!PBS has the best truthful news from around the world, BBC, DW(Germany), France 24, NHK Newsline(Japanese public broadcaster NHK), and of course DemocracyNOW! with Amy Goodman.It allows you to get a perspective of what the world sees of us rather than inside the confines of corporate commercial US TV.It gives you a broader perspective without advertiser interruption.Need your cooking shows?PBS has some of the best cooking shows, makes me hungry!What about dramas?Great British dramas and mysteries without commercial interruption. (They will let you know who's sponsoring at the beginning and end of each show, but they do not push the 'buy this right now' I see trying to get through my local news).British dramas? History will show some of Americas best-loved dramas and sitcoms originated in Britain!My PBS just started a replay of Downton Abbey. I had never seen it. Now I see what everyone was raving about years ago!Star Wars was produced in Britain! Need I say more??Music Programming?Austin City Limits for one, plus a myriad of other music shows like Bluegrass Underground, Song of the Mountains, and others.Historical Programs?Are you really sure what's in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights? the Declaration of Independence? The Civil War?Travel Shows?Who could forget Rick Steeves, who will give you an inside look at why and how European nations are so prosperous while taking care of their citizens! But he's only one, there's also Samantha Brown, Joseph Rosendo, Baratunde Thurston, many different travel guides produced in many different countries. Too poor to travel? With DTV now you can.Everybody is so upset with CBS60 minutes.Have you ever seen FRONTLINE?? Absolutely the best in TV news journalism.I have weaned myself off commercial TV. You should to, for your sanity.So cut your cable. Tune in to PBS. You'll save a bunch of money and you too will see why the right is trying to squelch it!A well informed public is the foundation of a healthy democracy.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221331092
