[quote=Anonymous]I’m a rare moderate Republican but the elimination of funding of CPB is truly sad. Some senators, like Rand, say it’s a private enterprise and shouldn’t be funded by taxpayers. Well, how many billions have taxpayers funded Musk’s Tesla? But that’s not the point. I don’t listen to NPR as I’m not a radio person and most of my drive time is audio books. But I’m a huge fan of PBS. Yes, the PBS Newshour does have a leftist bent but no one else provides long coverage interviews with key people on both sides. And, half the show is about the arts, or quirky only in America events and in-depth interviews with people on both sides. Where else where you see Antique Road Show, This Old House, Downtown Abbey and all of the other British shows that would never be produced in the US. Locally, PBS stations covers areas with local news provided by no one else in places like Alaska and in the Dakotas. In Florida, my local station creates shows about the history of our state that no commercial station would ever touch because there is no profit in it. But, PBS does it because there is education value. And for many of us our first experience with PBS was education. As a child of the 60’s I remember a PBS show shown in school with Dorothy Glasgow (sp?) teaching Spanish. [/quote]
