They will need more donations from Viewers Like You.

It’s disgusting and they are doing a disservice to children and adults. They didn’t just cut funding to CPB and PBS. They took away funding from local stations who support educational needs for all ages. Public television stations are more than what you see when you turn on your tv.

@Pinkstarburst Very true and there are really no good alternatives.

I think it is just one more of the chipping away of many things that I know are very important to a significantly large number of people. Not just US citizens, but people from all around the world.

It's the Great Ice Age of Trump ,subtraction of everything worthwhile...I've seen so many series and documentaries over the years. But why should this be a surprise😠

Maybe if they hadn’t drifted so hard to one side, they could still be receiving tax payer money.

@fun4us2b I consider him a friend. We disagree, but we can discuss it without being mean to each other.

@bijouxbroussard Finding the common ground takes time, small steps - so many of us are strongly set in the ways our parents taught us. The trick is to be willing to listen and then digest it....it's not fast or automatic, or even intuitive.

Its horrible

But the NPR and PBS stations have turned bias against Trump and all right wing policies....so the funding had to stop

@samueltyler2 do some research and you'll find the reason.
I guess you are afraid you'll find the truth

@Midlifemale why is it that the radical rights answer is always the same, do you own research? You are the one making the statement, out up the evidence it go away. And repeating the same statement is not evidence! The media, all of it, was too busy being fair to the far right, that it kept out much of the truth and helped the current administration become elected.

@Midlifemale yes, truth is a bias

Sick to my stomach! There are few words to describe what is happening to this country!

What about the elimination of reference to Trump's 2 impeachment from a Smithsonian discussion of presidential impeachments?

Yet another aspect of the culture of educational excellence that this anti-éducation, anti-science, pro-ignorance administration is destroying. 😞

@bijouxbroussard I feel like it could be a pre-emptive announcement to help raise awareness - but ignoring it could allow it to happen, which would be a loss.

@SatyrService appreciate your approach - maybe not caused by, but certainly to Putin's advantage - putting free speech at risk...

PBS and NPR are no longer non partisan as originally mandated by the act that created them, so buh bye.

@NativePortlander1970 I agree that there needs to be a better balance - Firing line is still pretty good - originally hosted by conservative stalwart William Buckley - there should be some disclaimer and attention to equal time when it comes to politics on ALL media outlets.
That said, using your limitless political power to disembowel your opposition is not a good look for the POTUS....
