PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger said Thursday that Mitt Romney’s promise at last night’s debate to end subsidies for PBS — despite his love for the Sesame Street character Big Bird — was motivated by “politics” not the budget.
“With the enormous problems facing our country, the fact that we are the focus is just unbelievable to me,” Kerger told CNN, especially since both candidates emphasized their dedication to education.
“We’re America’s biggest classroom,” Kerger added. “We touch children across the country.”
