Regarding Senator McCormick’s YouTube video about defunding PBS and NPR:
Thank you, Senator, but this isn’t about “bias”—it’s about silencing viewpoints you don’t share.
• Independent polls show that most Americans support public funding for NPR and PBS.
• As non-profits, they correct errors, avoid infotainment, and consistently rank among the country’s most trusted news sources.
• Beyond news, they provide vital educational and cultural programming to communities that lack other resources.
Defunding PBS and NPR for political reasons would deprive millions—especially children, rural residents, and low-income families—of a reliable, noncommercial service. I urge you to reconsider.
