Rogers testifying before Congress in support of PBS funding is perhaps one of the most well known things ever recorded on camera. Perhaps McCain feels that wasn't "political" because then she'd have to address how her asshole dad opposed it for more than 30 years
GOP Senators Blast Public Broadcasting : Congress: The lawmakers charge that the service has a ‘liberal bias.’ A threatened filibuster against the $1.1-billion funding bill is blocked. By WILLIAM J. EATON and SHARON BERNSTEIN March 4, 1992 12 AM PT The battle erupted as the Senate began to debate a bill to authorize $1.1 billion in CPB funding for the years 1993 to 1995. By a vote of 87 to 7, the lawmakers invoked cloture, barring a threatened Republican filibuster against the bill. Despite the show of support in the cloture vote, a chorus of harsh criticism led by Dole and Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) was leveled at public broadcasting. Helms and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) criticized as unbalanced and inappropriate a PBS series called “P.O.V.,” or “Point of View,” which broadcasts films and documentaries that express opinions.

Yes, this could have been lifted straight off an episode of Wellington Paranormal.
