It’s illegal for this person to lobby in any way. Firing is in order.

Cut..Cut...Cut the biased bass turds.
These clowns always like to say that the federal funding is only a small part of their overall budget. So why complain?
If they keep telling us that public funds are only a tiny part of their budget.
Let the people who watch it pay for it.
Zero NPR and PBS completely OUT of the budget. They are part of the Democrat media that taxpayers are forced to fund. Let the people who tune in pay the bill or let them sell ads as other broadcasters do.
NPR and PBS are have always been an inappropriate and unconstitutional use of our money. It is way past time for a lot of government spending that only benefits a few at the expense of the many to stop.
Goat a nice cigar and cognac for when this happens!!
He doesn’t want to get off his entitled butt and run his business.
Sounds like little people on the EBT.
I’m glad I read that article because before I was completely unenlightened about the wonders of TV. I had NO IDEA the idiot box could deliver such benefits to all Americans. Based on this, Congress should pass a law requiring every American to watch 20 hours per week of PBS.
I despise NPR.
Women,empowerment,women,empowerment,women,empowerment 24/7———and I’m a woman.

“early childhood content”
Such as, “It’s better to be gay”, and other tales by Peter Rottentail.
Why must all Americans support broadcast entities that only preach democrat propaganda? Why is it even legal?
“Public media benefits all Americans — whether they live in small towns, rural communities, or large urban areas,” the statement said.
Benefits? Definitely arguable.
All? ALL??????????? This is self delusion or intentional propaganda.
“Americans rely on public media for high-quality educational and informational programs that are proven to get their children ready to learn, and that provide opportunities for lifelong learning.”
Rely? RELY?????
Here we go again. There are just about a billion sources of media, information, and entertainment these days. “Rely” is utter BS
Libs complain about state tv in communist countries but are all for state tv here. Loony.
A thousand other channels do just fine without government funding so why does PBS need it?
Little chance of defunding them with the GOP spending like drunken sailors.
There are hundreds of channels on my satellite TV, any one of which is more interesting and entertaining than PBS.
PBS runs telethons all through the year to “supplement” their budget, selling concert tickets, CD’s, Albums, DVD’s, etc., to the public.
Anything I can see on PBS, I can see on Youtube.
Those hundreds of other stations have to get out and sell ads and air time to make ends meet...the PBS wonks can do the same.
If “Americans” are so hooked and relying on Kermit and Big Bird, then any commercial station should be able to pick them up and make a programming fortune with them sending it out to “the kids”.
I ran small radio stations for years, never had the government pay for anything...but I made ends meet.
The PBS guy is just really worried about his phoney, baloney, job and not having to do any work to stay in the money.
Kill CPB and PBS...they’re a waste of time and money. Free those frequencies up for a commercial endeavor.
NPR - the Sominex of the airwaves
PBS has long outlived any reasonable argument for its funding. When I was a kid and we had at most nine channels available, a somewhat plausible (if thin) argument for non-commercial programming could be argued. But today, television has not only moved beyond the airwaves, it has also outgrown cable and moved onto other platforms. There is no longer a bar to accessing quality programming.
The last time I mentioned PBS to a liberal their best argument for it was that it airs British programs, and if it didn’t they would have to pay for DVDs or beg their library to get them. Yeah, I should subsidize your entertainment...not.
It should be cut 100%. No more free ride.
