The act is codified into law under 47 USC 396. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created under this act and is the umbrella organization that funds NPR and governs NPR.
For years, NPR has been in violation of 47 USC 396(g)(1)(B) which states:
In order to achieve the objectives and to carry out the purposes of this subpart, as set out in subsection (a) of this section, the Corporation is authorized to—
(A) facilitate the full development of public telecommunications in which programs of high quality, diversity, creativity, excellence, and innovation, which are obtained from diverse sources, will be made available to public telecommunications entities, with strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature;
Vivian Schillers attacks on Juan Williams violate provisions of the Public Broadcasting Act, as well as past NPR commentators that have attacked politicians.
Now.. I don't expect any of these provisions to be enforced by this administration or any other... follow the money...
However, the entire act needs to be repealed, never to show its ugly face again.
