    As someone with addict parents, PBS quite literally raised me. Like it was one of the only things I could watch for free that wasn’t daytime talk shows, had it not been for PBS I’d have been raised by Jerry Springer and Maury, and I imagine that some kids were.

      Looking around the country, I’d say we don’t have to imagine. All too many were raised by Jerry Springer and Maury.
