I think that this is a bad decision that will probably be changed or modified.
"You know, the big, big question is why are we spending taxpayer dollars to prop up or compete with the private sector and run television station"
I think that government should fund art. And art takes many forms, gallery, TV, dance, theater, etc.

Sorry, but public art should not be offensive to a large segment of the population.
During the Depression, the WPA employed a lot of artists. Painters, sculpturers, musicians.
I think you'll find some pretty good art was created and very, very little of it was offensive.

I would agree that the vast majority of art is not offensive. I think that probably (though I have no data) that the vast majority of programming on that station is non offensive. And just maybe, some of what offends the governor may not be offensive to a large segment of the population.

Feminine art focuses on feels, internal exploration, mysticism, the unknown, crossing thresholds, individuality.
Masculine art focuses on social order, group identity and pride, discipline, and individual and collective boasting.
A lot of the depression-era art was masculine in nature. State-funded art typically is.
What's weird is, that's changed over the years. Today, almost all art celebrated in the U.S. today—state-funded, commercial, whatever—is feminine in nature.
Outside of rap music, I can't think of another widespread example of masculine art in popular culture. Things are very unbalanced right now. Ask any self-important urban art patron today what they think about "God Bless America" and watch 'em sneer. The art world isn't into art anymore, they're into politics.
