Should government fund public broadcasting?

“Yes. I watch a lot of PBS online. I’d be very sad and disappointed if they lost their funding. True, there’s a liberal bias, but it’s not as extreme as Fox News. For the most part, public broadcasting has balanced programs.”

“No. I don’t want government controlling what I see and what I know. The government has enough on its plate without intruding into public broadcasting.”

“Yes. It’s especially enriching for the children. There’s so little good programming out there for children. Shows like ‘Sesame Street’ are vital for kids. It’s something for them to watch that’s entertaining, but also educational.”

“No, it’s not important. The money should be spent somewhere else. There are enough private broadcasting companies. The essentials of life are what government should be focused on — and reducing the debt.”
