Topic	Trump proposes eliminating federal funding for PBS, NPR
Balrog0 02/12/18 3:38:59 PM #15:	s0nicfan posted... I have no idea why PBS is always on the chopping block. I get that it's only partially funded by the government anyway, but it's just such bad PR. Although in this case it looks like what he's cutting is funding to the CPB which funds multiple things, one of which could be PBS if they had to make cuts, so it's not like he's specifically going after big bird. do you think there is a way to directly make cuts to PBS or NPR? the CPB grants to the national branches as well as local offices. there isn't a 'pbs' line item in the budget to cut --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:895953255] in Trump prop...
