What do you think about the closing and end of CPB and thereby PBS?

in 1967 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Public Broadcasting Act That law guaranteed a permanent stream of government funding for educational radio and television.

To buffer PBS from the influence of political parties and commercial sponsors, the law called for the creation of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

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.
