PBS censors/sanitizes/rewrites Obama speech to hide a big mistake

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.

Corrupt Corp. for Public Broadcasting Hypocrisy Exposed, Violated Federal Laws

Corp. for Public Broadcasting using taxpayer funds to lobby for more taxpayer funding

I certainly hope congress eliminates all funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I didn’t give them permission to use my money to fund them, nor do I want my money funding them.

Wait until you read this blatant hypocrisy. Those people over there have a lot of gall, I’ll give them that.

NPR and PBS stations nationwide are rallying their audiences to contact Congress to fight against Republicans’ proposed spending cuts….

Ahhh! Good old leftist hypocrisy strikes again! Didn’t former (he resigned last week) National Public Radio senior executive, Ron Schiller plainly state, in a video that we had posted here yesterday, that NPR would be better off without public taxpayer funding? Here, let me quote you his exact words:

“Well frankly, it is clear that we would be better off in the long-run without federal funding.”

Huh! I’ll be darned!

NPR and PBS stations nationwide are rallying their audiences to contact Congress to fight against Republicans’ proposed spending cuts, but some affiliates’ pleas may violate laws preventing nonprofits or government-funded groups from lobbying.

Interrupting popular programs, the stations air warnings that cuts could end beloved children’s television shows such as “Sesame Street.” Some stations urge their audience to call and let Congress know their feelings, while others go further, instructing viewers to “stop the Senate” or “defend federal funding” for public broadcasting.

The ad campaigns are a direct response to House Republicans’ push to eliminate all Corporation for Public Broadcasting funds for the rest of the fiscal year. Democrats have fought the cuts and President Obama asked for $451 million for CPB in his 2012 budget request — a $6 million increase.

But lawmakers and conservative critics argue the stations are breaking two laws, one that prohibits using taxpayer-funded grants to petition Congress for more taxpayer money and the other that bans nonprofits from doing much lobbying of any kind.

Once again, let’s use “the children” as pawns in a political game about the greedy PBS. “Oh! Sesame Street will go off the air!” Well you know what? If it does, it does. Life will still go on. If it’s that important, that good of a program, one of the for-profit commercial networks will pick it up. You let the market decide. That’s how freedom works.

I don’t want to see Sesame Street go off the air for good either, but like I said, if it does, it does. Life goes on. I didn’t want to see “Gunsmoke” end either.
