So, PBS entered the campaign in serious terms and in silly terms after the debate.
Let me start with a conceptual question; Does government have any role to play within broadcasting? If so, what?
I tend to believe some of the greatest television in the world is made by public broadcasters. We're on a site dedicated to one of them. Top Gear rebooted the genre of motoring shows, and it's one of the most successful shows.. in the world. QI and Have I got news for you lead the way on satire and the genre of interesting things, here in Norway our public broadcaster NRK makes some of the best stuff around, same goes for Sweden. And I believe the Muppets and Sesame Street probably survives because PBS have a hinterland of public money.
Am I wrong?
I don't know.
