It should have happened long ago but now is really the time for our Tax Payer dollars to quit funding both C-Span and NPR.

C-Span is not funded by tax dollars.

It is funded by the cable networks.

Just stream the video feed of the House and Senate online. Develop an app for smart tvs and you would reach the vast majority of the population.

I'm with you on NPR/CPB, but C-Span is funded by the cable industry. Not the taxpayer.

C-Span can stay. NPR and PBS need to be defunded. If commie-libs want to have them, let them fund them.

C-Span is funded via cable companies, not tax dollars. However, NPR should have been defunded decades ago but I don't think it will ever happen. Trump can't veto trillion dollar bills over NPR funding, so it doesn't happen.

The line item veto which W wanted, was ruled unconstitutional by the SC, so nothing changes.
