NPR & PBS Closing down?
The nonprofit institution that provided significant funding for PBS and NPR is disbanding after nearly 60 years in operation.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting — created by Congress in 1967 — has been dissolved because of federal budget cuts pushed by the Trump administration, the CPB announced in a Jan. 5 news release.
"What has happened to public media is devastating,” said Ruby Calvert, chair of CPB’s Board of Directors, in the release. "After nearly six decades of innovative, educational public television and radio service, Congress eliminated all funding for CPB, leaving the Board with no way to continue the organization or support the public media system that depends on it. Yet, even in this moment, I am convinced that public media will survive, and that a new Congress will address public media’s role in our country because it is critical to our children's education, our history, culture and democracy to do so."
Ruby says that what happened to public media is devastating. He is right, it is devastating that two geat
public funded organizations became an arm of the DNC.
We cannot publicly fund partisan media.
