PBS is dying.

Now, despite being a blood-drinking, racist, Nazi Republican, I come from a family that has long championed public broadcasting because the quality of the programming is always insanely high. My Dad collects those American Experience documentaries, I own the entire NOVA series' "Secrets of the Lost Empires," and I'm even a firm believer that PBS' reality programming (yes, they do reality programming!) like Warrior Challenge and 1900 House is top-notch. Sadly, all this greatness is drying up. And judging from the above-linked-to article, it looks like just about everyone is to blame.

And by "everyone" I mean, arch-social cons and those price-jacking cable and satellite companies.
