QUESTIONING THE VALUE OF PUBLIC TELEVISION

  President Donald Trump’s 2019 budget includes a proposal that would eliminate federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), according to a report.
  The Hill reported that Trump’s budget would cut funding for CPB — which funds public television and radio stations such as PBS and NPR — over two years.
   Paula Kerger, PBS’s president and CEO, also released a statement Monday saying that the organization “would continue to remind” lawmakers of public television’s value to taxpayers.
