I got a letter from PBS asking to donate.
How should I respond?

I want to (politely) include reich-wing politics and their between-program advertisements and also say that since I'm paying Ford and Fidelity and (other companies), that I've already donated by proxy. Maybe include the idea that they should get some of the profits made by shill Elmo too...

What else can I include? O8)

1. Tell them to take off Tucker Carlson's show, for one thing.
I fucking refuse to give PBS even one penny knowing that it could help fund "Tucker Carlson Unfiltered"

PBS is dramatically tilting right wing lately. They can fuck off for all I care.

2. Same here. I donate to LinkTV now.
Better shows and a very progressive slant.

3. Tell them to make NOW an hour again before you donate.
Focus on their good show.
