He provided some generic stuff, but ignores the history of television.

Obviously you have no understanding of this phrase or its context. 'General welfare' is not a government authority or communism, which is what you are trying to redefined it to be.

The government lost this case in district court because they got an activist judge that made up his ruling out of thin air.

Because they produce programming that is not influenced or directed by corporate commercial sponsors.
Because there are no commercials or sponsors paying for them, they are free to produce programming that their viewers want to see, not what corporation's focus group results tell them what users of their products want to watch.

That is not a value. That is program genres you listed, most of which existed before NPR or PBS.
Nope. Reversal fallacy.
That would actually be good for TV. Back then, you had to have talent to be on TV. Today, any schmuck can be on TV.
Irrelevance fallacy.
I think this shows your lack of talent right here, Sybil.
calling every loss activism is cry baby material
his executive order mentioned bullshit that no legal mind would defend
who decided if it is partisan journalism? Trump is a fucking idiot. sorry you don't see it. He could of said we don't fund journalism,, but nope. dumb dude is dumb - and apparently he has nobody proofing his executive orders. this one will not survive an appeal

In this case, it's material. Look up the judge's history on rulings.
PBS being government funded on the basis of a need for free speech is indefensible. How is playing reruns of the Lawrence Welk Show, a need for free speech?
I never cited "partisan journalism." I simply argued that there are so many alternatives freely available that PBS has been rendered irrelevant.

The government didn't lose any case. Neither did Trump. There is no need to conform to a ruling that exceeds the judges authority.

Says the watcher of commercial network violence, explosions, gun-shooting, car chasing, tits & ass flaunting mindless slop who doesn't watch educational TV like PBS because he thinks that kind of "int-uh-leck-shul shit" is too dang lib'rul.
Besides, the PBS Network and individual stations don't get public tax dollars.
What they're talking about getting their funding cut, is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is the chief fundraiser for the PBS Network.

The American taxpayers cannot be forced to pay for leftist propaganda, which is what both PBS nd NPR are.
More low-level judge horseshit.Citing the First Amendment, a federal judge on Tuesday agreed to permanently block the Trump administration from implementing a presidential directive to end federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, two media entities that the White House has said are counterproductive to American priorities.
The operational impact of U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss' decision was not immediately clear — both because it will likely be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress.
Moss ruled that President Donald Trump’s executive order to cease funding for NPR and PBS is unlawful and unenforceable. The judge said the First Amendment right to free speech “does not tolerate viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type.”

Sesame Street is propaganda?
Maybe this would be true 30 years ago when traditional TV stations and record labels were legitimate gatekeepers. Nowadays this doesnt hold true.
Taylor Swift didnt even start as a traditional artist. She just blew up on myspace. If you have a great show idea then put in on youtube and people will watch. No need for npr/pbs.
Future MAGAts will never see Sesame Street since their parents support cutting PBS.

Yes. I watch Lawrence Welk reruns on PBS every Saturday evening before The Red Green Show, Corner Gas and a short line up of Britcoms.
I started with the fact that their programming resulted in a huge number of jobs and copy programs. These programs create a huge financial benefit for America. They create thousands of jobs and taxpayers. If your world view is that narrow, you should still understand it is a benefit to America in every way.

The biggest thing that PBS does, is offer programming without the influence of or interference from corporate interests.
No commercials means no income derived from the producers of products who have the power to affect, direct, steer, color or otherwise influence the content of the programming that they broadcast.
Which is why it's important for them to maintain a presence on TV.
