Prarie Public TV

[Davy Crockett]

I caught this program on Prairie public and thought it was worth sharing. I'm sure some here have done a bit of traveling outside of the USA , I haven't so it's interesting to see it from someone else's perspective.

I have never watched PBS.
too liberal is my impression

 

[Davy Crockett]

I agree PP has liberal content on there but what's there to be scared of if you are of sound mind ?

 

[Allen Gamble]

Well said Mr. Crockett!

Don't find all of their programming liberal. Just yesterday watched a program about Buddy Holly. I guess back then Buddy Holly would have been considered pretty liberal by the parents of girls who worshiped him but the program was not liberal in my mind. Maybe I'm arguing against myself as Rock n Roll was considered pretty liberal in the 50's.

 

[Davy Crockett]

I've never understood the mentality of shun a person or conversation because of political background, Our political platform is a mess because of it.

You know what’s better than winning the special olympics?

 

[Davy Crockett]

Yup.

forgot to mention that I started watching about 55 minutes into the vid then watched the first part later , It's a boring start but it gets better as he goes.

Being a non-participant?

^^^^^^ A bettor in the stands ^^^^^

Being a non-participant?

Correct.
the punch line is less politically correct.

Yep, Lots of conservative stories on PP. The Gordon Kahl story was on there a month or so ago and I posted that link on here. PP has a mix of everything and in my opinion PP is more center than left or right .

I watch PBS quite often (Frontline, NOVA, American Experience, Nature etc). FYI, PBS has an app available where you can watch episodes of their shows for free. I use an Amazon FireStick but assume it's available through the other platforms.

 

[Davy Crockett]

I need to check out that app. Natural North Dakota is another good one that I listen to online from the PP website , All sorts of interesting short stories . https://news.prairiepublic.org/post/folklore-and-predicting-weather


There are quite a few pp videos on youtube too.

pptv has some great shows, at one time it was the only chanel we had at the lake for a few years

If I had a child that was being ungrateful I'd probably sit down and watch tv with them .
