This will be a good test. Liberals can finally put their money where their mouths are and man up and make up the difference in funding out of their own pockets. If that doesn't happen, and it won't, CPB can make up the difference selling back episodes of their successful shows like NOVA and Sesame Street.
It's like Romney told Obama: You don't pick winners & losers, you only pick losers. That sums up pretty much the entire Democrat platform: Propping up losers & failures with other people's money.
