CPB funding cuts: listeners respond
Monday, June 20, 2005 - 04:36 PM
A perhaps-surprising amount of pro-funding cuts (or at least anti-sense-of-entitlement) calls and emails today, in response to a plan in congress to slash money for the CPB.
Some samples:
I happen to love NPR, I am a fairly new listener (since late 2004) It's what I've been searching for on the radio and never knew it was there. But funding from the government makes me not so trusting of what's being said. When republicans are buying newscasters that makes me think twice about any and everything the government is involved in.

WHAT I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT IS A PROGRAM CALLED "NOW"....I remember an editorial spoken and perhaps written on that program by Bill Moyers....he was particularly vicious, and if i considered myself less the liberal than once I was, voting for Bush, finding the Democrats incapable of functioning...but, not to say I am a conservative, but, Moyers, in that vicious editorial was insulting....it seems that he was on some sort of vendetta against Bush and his boys

i am an avid listener to your show and many others on pbs. i am a conservative and support the current admin. the views liberal views discussed on your show and others is far better expressed than on any other media available. consequently i would have no objection to listening to commercials or paying for the privledge of hearing the programing on pbs.
