You should probably explain that to the Romney campaign-he implied that he was cutting off funding to PBS-even though he liked Big Bird. Thus the "lies" are actually coming out of Romney's campaign really-but that's nothing new. In any case, if PBS were to lose its funding, then there would be nowhere to air Sesame Street. Sesame Street has strict guidelines in which the major networks refused to cooperate when first approached about syndicating the show. On principle, I think they will still hold true to their ideals of education.
