broadcasting business.
Both PBS and NPR were formed in 1970, when there were very few networks and limited audience choice. Today, you can find a channel or station for most any interest you may have. So why do we need these government-run broadcasters? The answer is, we don’t.
I like their quality programming as much as the next guy, but it’s time for these high paid executives, with their own political agendas, to compete in an open market. Just as public universities are gradually going private, it’s time for public broadcasters to do the same. Defunding public broadcasting sends the right message and saves millions of dollars.
