@pbsnews: Ken Burns calls public media funding cuts 'shortsighted,' but vows 'we will continue' Congress is moving toward revoking a billion dollars in already approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that steers funds to public media stations. William Brangham discussed the potential impact on PBS with one of the network's most acclaimed filmmakers, Ken Burns. His documentaries covered subjects like the Civil War, baseball, Vietnam, country music and more. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #kenburns #pbs #kenburnsdocumentary #documentaryfilm #publicradio #news
We couldn’t afford cable when I was little. I always looked forward to coming home from school to watch Arthur. I enjoyed watching everything on PBS, I learned so much! 😭💔

For folks on a fixed income who can’t afford all the subscription fees, pbs and npr are vital.

Everyone thinks it’s just news and Elmo. 🙄 So much cultural programming includes music, art and lifestyle coverage and entertainment will suffer or simply disappear.

The government already knows the demographic that depends on p. B s and other broadcasts, like it, that's the whole reason they are doing it

The current regime wants to be the sole information distribution network. That way they can deliver to the people what they determine is true and only the information they want the people to have; much like Russian television. This leader does not want culture, learning, or the arts....he desires blind loyalty, anything less will be removed.

Making our nation’s children smarter and more enriched and fed and healthy should be in all of our best interests. It seems today most only care about themselves and it’s extremely upsetting.

You know it’s bad when some of this administration’s die hard supporters are turning on him. Especially after his Big Ugly Bill & Epstein bs. They aren’t “for the people”. They’re “for the rich” if anything.

I don’t understand why the republican army has decided PBS and NPR are liberal propaganda. We all grew up watching the same programs. Yet, we have differing opinions and viewpoints. This is silliness and it’s sad how many believe the orange one and make his issues their issues. As if a year ago any of them cared or made an effort to attack PBS and NPR.

Y'all can't keep saying "This is just the beginning" after they've done something they said they literal would or something that hits too close to home. So watching them take away your access to unbiased forms of education and access to food but STILL allow major tax cuts to the rich and you all voted for your downfall and it'll take years to even correct this far,IF we can.

My kids were ready for school because we watched Between the Lions and other great educational programs for kids. I learned how to cook by watching PBS. This breaks my heart.
