Well, I told my elected official to protect public media, and not rescind the funds previously approved for it, I got this response from my Congressperson, Troy Nehls:
I appreciate learning of your policy concerns. Your input is critical in guiding me on how to best represent my constituents.
As you may know, H.R. 1216, the Defund Government Sponsored Propaganda Act, would prohibit federal funding for the National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) due to their partisan bias.
So, instead of telling me he understands how important funding is to the vital service that is public broadcasting, he told me about a separate bill that would defund public broadcasting "due to their partisan bias".
Uggghhhhh. I hate this world.
