It is Sad that the President Signed an Executive Order to End Federal Funding for NPR and PBS

 


This article in the New York Times states that the president wants to cut federal funding for NPR and PBS.  I have some concerns:
  • The current president is overusing Executive Orders.  He thinks he can do whatever he wants without consulting Congress.
  • He perceives the news on NPR and PBS stations is biased against him.  I believe they are objective and present all sides of the issues.
  • Music and cultural programming on these stations will be adversely affected.
  • I am a sustaining member of WFUV, WBGO, and WNET (TV).  They will be more aggressive in their fundraising in the future, which is understandable.  
  • I hope that the quality of their programs will not suffer.
