The Fighter
Government cuts are everywhere, whether you’re in the business of environmental education or public access television. Therefore when former President Nixon proposed an idea to cut PBS’s funding, it was Fred Rogers who stepped up. He testified at a hearing even in order to save the station.
Not A Former Soldier
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Fred Rogers actually wan’t a former Navy Seal or Marine. And no, he wasn’t some kind of secret killing machine. Just a myth that no one quite knows how or why it got started.
