“‘Only a microscopic share of the funding for public broadcasting even comes from the government!’ If this is really true, the obvious retort is: ‘Then abolishing 100% of the funding will barely make any difference, so there’s no reason to keep arguing about this issue. Funding abolished, end of story.’ In fact, friends of public broadcasting should be happy to lose their miniscule funding, because this festering political battle is a major distraction from providing the high-quality programming their viewers so cherish.” (07/01/25)
