Why are we still funding PBS???

From National Review Online:

Color me shocked that the House Republicans are proposing big cuts in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. After all, in our trillion-plus-dollar federal budget, what comparably puny $100 million cut is most likely to make the front page of the Washington Post? Which agency cannot be mentioned by liberal reporters without the words "Sesame Street" or "Clifford the Big Red Dog" seeping into the first paragraph?
