Hey, art animals! Who else used to draw along with Commander Mark of The Secret City?

I watch a lot of shows via our local OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) station. I also listen to the public radio (I know, I'm old). I'd like it to stick around!
-Passport shows have never been streamed 'free', they've always been behind the minimum donation paywall.
-The vast majority of PBS shows *are* free, the passport shows are an incentive and reward to the people who can afford a small monthly donation, so that the free stuff can be made.
#PSA: This is why I have started posting about PBS. Yeah, it would be better if our taxes were used to fund public goods rather than gilded toilets for the toxic bag of shit in the White House, but until we can rebuild democracy, we can do this for ourselves and our neighbors.

in an article about maga wanting to defund PBS because the truth hurts them I found an interesting statistic "According to a 2024 poll by YouGov, PBS was Americans’ third-most trusted news source after The Weather Channel and the BBC."
It's very telling that the most trusted news source in the states is the British Broadcasting Company, even people from here don't trust US news organizations to be honest.
