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.
