    Sesame Street is only on for an hour or so 5 days a week on PBS. Romney did not say he was going to cut funding to Sesame Street, he said he would cut funding to PBS. So what will happen to the 90% of other shows on PBS that do not have all of the extra revenue that Sesame Street has? The point here is that PBS and Sesame Street are not one and the same.  Your is right however, Sesame Street will be fine without government subsidies but PBS will not be and those areas of the country that do not privately support PBS will probably lose their stations and hence will also lose free access to Sesame Street.

      Generations survived before Big Bird and PBS. TV isn’t the place for kids to learn anyway… that’s what schools and parents are for.  BUT the reality is the GOV’T OFFERS FREE CABLE to low income people so, to your answer, no, no one would be forced lose their kid TV.
