You're right, they don't. However, they do receive government subsidies, which are funded by our tax dollars.

Not even regarding the quality of these channels in compariusion to PBS: FOX and MSBNC also get their funds by you: anytime you buy a product advertized in one of these stations, you pay them a sum.

You're also right, but in this case it is my choice to buy that dish soap or motor oil. I don't get a say in terms of my tax dollars; that hand goes into my pocket whether I like it or not.

I would also agree with you about the quality of PBS vs that of the cable networks.
