Why we should not get rid of public funding for PBS and NPR

Anyone looking to pull funding from PBS and NPR just doesn't understand the value of education, and/or listen/watch and read the huge volume of non partisan studies showing the high quality of politically unbiased journalism that we Americans can enjoy and share with others around the world. Unbiased journalism that does not need to be compromised chasing after the advertising dollars.

BTW, how many children and adults are bilingual, can read and write and count because of the great FREE programing on PBS? What is that worth? Worth $1.60 per person a year? Yep. that is all the public funding PBS and NPR get COMBINED - bet you thought it was way more...didn't you!
