CPB does not produce programming and does not own, operate or control any public broadcasting stations. Additionally, CPB, PBS, and NPR are independent of each other and of local public television and radio stations.
This creates 535 mil savings for taxpayers who will turn around & donate it?
That $5 a month for PBS will be much needed.

A fair & free press is a beacon for the truth and is the only reason we know what to fight for
Someone has to beat GQPers, there are no perfect candidates.
Dems spent more in 2024 than Republicans
I want to see outreach from the dems like @katmabu.bsky.social is doing, and let fair media advertise

"PBS show Sesame Street partnered with CNN for a town hall aimed presenting children with a one-sided narrative to “address racism” amid the Black Lives Matter riots."
Unbelievable! America 2025.

Fixed it for ya.
This is money allocated by congress that the executive has no authority to unilaterally cut
Fortunately, I can afford the subscription to PBS. Even if it's just a little bit, every little bit counts.
