1. Support for a peace deal with Russia.

Why is this a 'Republican' position? Everyone wants peace in Ukraine. It's just that not everyone wants it on Russia's terms - like giving up 25% of Ukraine's territory and turning it into a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] state a la Belarus.

2. Teach intelligent design at Colleges and Universities.

This isn't a 'Republican' position - this is a fundamentalist Protestant position.

Intelligent Design is not science, it's a religious concept. If it has a place in tertiary education (or primary or secondary education), it is only as a theological concept.

As a scientific concept, it is moribund. Comatose. Expired. If it was a body, we would say that brain activity has totally ceased.

Additionally, given that it is an explicit attempt to smuggle theological (and teleological) concepts into the biological sciences, the best place for Intelligent Design is in the waste bin of history.

3. Pregnancy is normal and good.

It anyone on PBS teaching that pregnancy is neither normal or good?

I gave up on PBS years ago, when they didn't report on the Arthur Daniel Midlands scandal. (A non political reason.) They are a major contributor to PBS and the PBS almost completely ignored the accusations. At that point I figured "All Things Considered" really meant things they agreed with and didn't hurt their bottom line.

The Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) scandal involved a worldwide scheme to fix prices of the feed additive lysine. Three former executives were sentenced to prison terms ranging from two to two and a half years for their roles in the conspiracy.

Should there be a Republican show on PBS ?
No! But I would like to see educational shows about the economy, like budgeting, even language, for my grandson. He learned the Greek alphabet at 4 years old and a little Russian, but for some reason, he didn't care for Spanish on YouTube, but my wife is taking care of that. Maybe a little math like Khan Academy. Buying a home....

No, news unless it's uplifting, of people helping people.

Back in the day PBS had good shows.

The Vicar of Dibley showed a woman priest in the
Church of England.

Mr. Bean was funny.

They even had a comedy show for late night.

None of those shows were made or set in the United States. They are all British.

This is also not true, and the show you just mentioned is *also* British.

Next you will say that Dr. Who, Call the Midwife, and Downton Abby are also British.

They also played a show called Poldark,
it got between 80 and 90 percent positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
