This is such wonderful news

- if albeit temporary. Congress has not passed an abolish bill. so the Corporation for Public Broadcasting can be easily resurrected with little opposition.

I often times wish my inner realist was not such a dominant voice.

The CPB is governed by a nominally nine-member board of directors selected by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate; they serve six-year terms, and are allowed to continue serving until the end of the calendar year that their term ends or until their successor is seated on the board.[70] Under the terms of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, the president cannot appoint persons of the same political party to more than five of the nine CPB board seats.[70] The current board has only three members as new selections have not been made to replace members whose terms have ended.

dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks

Rather than confronting the truth. How many Public Television stations had major programming on the Globull Climate Hoax?

Many decades ago, they called it non-commercial television/radio. What a crock. At the beginning of each show/hour, on radio and TV, there would be "the supporters." The Pepsi Foundation, The Tide Foundation, etc, etc.
