My Honey Boo Boo partisan meme must have stung, eh?

How the Privatization of NASA’s The Learning Channel devolved into a for-profit channel pushing Honey Boo Boo

My previous posts on PBS/Big Bird vs. TLC/Honey Boo Boo:

Dollar Makes me Holler: Honey Boo Boo’s Critique of Post-Capitalist America

Why publicly fund PBS’ Big Bird? Private for profit version is The Learning Channel’s #1 rated show ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’

And what they still don’t get with defensive comments like this: Please do note NASA still has it’s own TV channel in 1080 HD . Lots of space science and programming there is that it shows the need for PUBLIC financed TV channels because the FOR PROFIT model will more than likely regress over time.
