Time to Stop Taxpayer-Funded Propaganda

The defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is long overdue. No president, including Ronald Reagan, has seriously pushed an immediate winding down of this corrupt and outdated waste of taxpayer funds. Who would have ever imagined that Donald Trump would be the first to do it?

His first budget proposal takes that step, not just to save of ton of taxpayer money ($450 million is a lot of money) but also to establish a principle about our leftist media. It's simply not appropriate for the federal government to fund Democrat propaganda badly disguised as news.

Is it any surprise, then, that the media have come unglued?

CNN anchor Martin Savidge suggested Sunday that this proposal sounds like "conservative revenge." In September, we will mark the 50th anniversary of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which laughably proclaimed that the taxpayer-funded TV and radio stations of America would seek "strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature."

I wish Pres Trump to be successful in this. All it does is push the liberal / progressive democratic platform. This should be a tax deduction for tax payers if we have to continue contributing to a political agenda.
