This used to be big bugaboo of mine and I’m trying to get my game face back. In the meantime there’s this contradiction no one adequately explains. On the one hand, we keep hearing how the federal government only supplies a tiny bit of the funding — 10% of PBS and 1% of NPR — while at the same time they say withdrawing federal funds even a teensy-weensy bit will cripple, destroy, and otherwise ruin PBS. Isn’t there a disconnect here?
