Publicly funded TV in the land of the free?!?!?!? The red terror of socialism?!!?!?!
Won't somebody think of the children? :lol:
Ha ha! Actually it is very, very much the opposite. It's "Public" in that people donate to get what "they" want broadcast. Which usually is clean shows for children, sitcoms that are made for people that don't drool on themselves, etc.
Not "Public", as in Red as you suggest, where the government takes your money, then provides you with "Public TV" or something or requires you to pay.
Also, even more away from socialism by the fact that most funding for public TV actually comes from corporate donations. There are some government agencies that donate (like the National Science Foundation) and funding also comes from viewers that donate money directly.
