PBS again. Gee, I’m shocked. Ever wonder why I never give them any money and never will? Ever wonder why I strongly believe they should be defunded and eliminated? Ever wonder why I call PBS what they really are (Politburo Broadcasting System)? Wonder no more:

via The American Thinker:

Barack Obama has gone to Congress asking for more money to spend. The President, in a rambling and tedious exercise mixing blame with demands, made quite a few dubious statements in laying out the case for Congress to vote for the plan which as yet does not exist. Much like Obamacare, Congress must ultimately vote for the bill to know what is in it.

At one point Mr. Obama made a major gaffe; he identified Abraham Lincoln as the founder of the Republican Party.

Lincoln did not join the Republicans until 1856, over two years after the party was founded. The first Republican convention was held in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854.

Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.

Actually, they did more than yawn; government-funded PBS has altered the transcript of the President’s speech, removing the offending comment.

Oddly enough, the New York Times actually printed verbatim what Obama said:

“We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party. But in the middle of a civil war, he was also a leader who looked to the future — a Republican President who mobilized government to build the Transcontinental Railroad — (applause) — launch the National Academy of Sciences, set up the first land grant colleges. (Applause.) And leaders of both parties have followed the example he set.”

Then there’s the Politburo Broadcasting System (PBS) which should not receive one thin dime of taxpayer money, and what did they propagandize on their website?

“We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. But in the middle of a Civil War, he was also a leader who looked to the future – a Republican president who mobilized government to build the transcontinental railroad; launch the National Academy of Sciences; and set up the first land grant colleges. And leaders of both parties have followed the example he set.”

Propaganda folks, I’m telling you! Can you actually believe this is the United States of America anymore? This is so much closer to the Soviet Union than it is to what it was when I was growing up, it’s truly sickening.

One of my absolute rules is when something like this happens, you take a screenshot so there is proof. Kinda like this:

You see, if you don’t take the screenshot, these Soviet style websites have a habit of scrubbing their “edits” just like the Politburo Broadcasting System (PBS) recently did with this piece. No screenshot, no proof. Well, we have the screenshot, we have the proof, and we exposed PBS for what it is.
