Defunding PBS and NPR could make them even worse

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : PBS and NPR could emerge both financially stronger and insulated from public accountability.
50% : Both PBS and NPR are federally chartered non-profit organizations which will continue to exist.
43% : But as satisfying as it might be to zero out the budget of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting -- where I once served on the board of directors and tried to warn my colleagues about the threat that liberal bias posed -- Trump's move could backfire.
28% : I learned that firsthand during my time on the CPB board, when my criticisms, not dissimilar to those of Trump, were ignored and I was marginalized, including by being stripped of committee assignments and pushed to resign.
