Mister Rogers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“My whole approach in broadcasting has always been “You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.” Maybe I’m going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”
-Frederick Rogers

It turns out that when the manufacture of VCRs was being contested by the TV and Film industries, Mister Rogers stood up, pretty much alone, and defended our right to watch what we want, when we want to. I would honestly read through the entire Wikipedia page.

This guy was a champion of public broadcasting. When President Nixon (read: scumbag) reduced funding to public broadcasting, Fred Rogers stood before congress and gave a testimony so strong that funding was raised from 9 million to 22 million dollers (in 1971, that was a lot more money than it is now)
