My brother & I would watch #MontyPython on the B&W TV w/rabbit ears, "late night" #PublicTelevision.
What a legacy from Cleese, so many shows and films, such a body of work for him to destroy. He could keep quiet, but no.
The more he claims he is not #racist, but that he judges other #cultures as inferior, the more he boasts about his #racism.
He's said that "London doesn't feel English" any longer, which is a #DogWhistle for #WhiteSupremacists.
#JohnCleese = #Islamophobe

I urge everyone, especially those in the #USA, to support a #PublicRadio or a #PublicTelevision station. Whether you stream something or you have a local channel you watch pick one and make a one time donation at least.
Suspend service to one of your paid streaming platforms for one month and put that $$ towards #PublicBroadcasting.
For $10 a month you could support #PBS and get access to their streaming app. Give more and help out their #News efforts that are needed now more than ever.

Thirty Bob Ross paintings will be auctioned over the next few months, with proceeds going to small and rural public stations across the United States that have had their funding cut off. Congress has eliminated $1.1 billion allocated to public broadcasting, leading to many stations making programming cuts and laying off staff. Most of the paintings of mountain vistas and lake scenes were created on air, in under 30 minutes. Ross "dedicated his life to making art accessible to everyone,” said Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc. “This auction ensures his legacy continues to support the very medium that brought his joy and creativity into American homes for decades.” Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Tubefilter: YouTube is taking over TV viewership in the U.K. Legacy broadcasters are not happy about it.. “Public broadcasters in the U.K. are facing stiff competition from YouTube both on TV and online, and as a result want regulators to force YouTube to give them more money and more prominence on its own platform.”

Do you know that for $60 a year you can subscribe to PBS Passport? It has over 1000 episodes of classic shows like American Masters, the American Experience, Antiques Roadshow and NOVA. For $60, you can support your local station. That's $5 a month.
Until we organize, it's a way to support your local PBS station. And if we don't organize something soon, PBS may be gone, along with NPR. They are worth saving.

The bulk of the spending being clawed back is for foreign aid programs. About $1.1B was destined for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which finances #NPR & #PBS, though most of that money is distributed to more than 1,500 local #PublicRadio & #PublicTelevision stations around the country. -
