Sesame Street: Sesame Street Gets Through a Storm
Kermit must be the Anderson Cooper of Sesame Street News, huh?
Romney goes for Mr Big, glutton of greed
I've got to agree with PBS on this. If it is frivolous for Romney to focus on Big Bird, isn't it just as frivolous for Obama to focus on Romney focusing on Big Bird? I also don't like that the commercial does not explicitly defend public television, it just uses it as a prop. Sesame Street is noble institution that shouldn't be dragged through the mud of politics.

Oops! PBS has asked Obama to pull this ad. Watch while you can!
Privatization turned The Learning Channel into Honey-Boo-Boo (Politics Talk Post)
wasnt there a provision for those who sought to utilize public airwaves that they had to have so much "educational" programming in order to gain and/or retain their broadcasting license?
and isnt PBS only 40% tax-payer backed? i forgot where i read that PBS was ran on 60% donations.that the taxpayers filled in the gap/loss which averaged a 60/40 ratio.
either way you slice it,what we are seeing is political hay and nothing more.making the argument that PBS is some socialists wet dream is just bullshit.i wonder if the irony is lost on these people who wish to shut down an institution to replace it with mind-numbing,vapid staleness.creating a zombified drooling public.
or is that the actual intent? to dumb down the american public?
i would like to subscribe to that conspiracy but these retards cant get out of their own way,nevermind concoct such an elaborate scheme such as i am suggesting.
so all for the sake of political whoring we may lose an institution that has brought some of the best and ground-breaking educational programming since the mid 60's.
and the collective IQ of this country drops.
sad...
so very very sad.
sesame street came out the year i was born.i learned how to read before i hit kindergarten because of that show AND it was one of many shows that got my craving to absorb information and learn.
but i guess "future strippers of america" is more important.
bollocks......
SNL: Big Bird Visits Weekend Update
Form 990 Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax
Line 12: Total revenue does state $130.606,413
But that is before expenses - You forgot to read line 18
Line 18: Total Expenses states $129,997,556
A difference of $608,857 which would be their profit for the 2009 calendar/tax year beginning July 1, 2009 and ending June 30, 2010

Sesame Street earns $140 million a year, but somehow they get 10% of that from the American taxpayer when they could easily make it and make it quite well, on their own.
Those folks are all 1%ers, aren't they?

No, They do not have profits in excess of $140 per year. And No they are not 1%ers
Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), is a Worldwide American non-profit organization behind the production of several educational children's programs that have run on public broadcasting around the world (including PBS in the United States).
Although Sesame Workshop is occasionally confused with PBS,[citation needed] Sesame Workshop is an entirely separate and independent organization. Some Workshop programs are broadcast on PBS, and although PBS provides some funding for those programs, the money received covers only a fraction of production costs. Other financial support comes from individual donors, charitable foundations, corporations, government agencies, program sales and licensed products. Sesame Workshop grants licenses to various manufacturers who create toys, apparel and other products featuring Sesame Street characters, and Sesame Workshop receives a portion of the proceeds.
On March 12, 2009, Sesame Workshop announced that it had planned to cut 20% of its workforce due to the recession.

The Rhyming Game - Bert and Ernie
Sesame Street will never die. It's a sentimental thing that makes people remember themselves as kids, but also makes people think of their kids.
