Trump calls for the defunding of NPR and PBS, "IMMEDIATELY."

IF NPR AND PBS WANT TO REMAIN A VIable option for the public then perhaps they should compete just like other networks and depend on private funding, i have in the past viewed both just for my own understanding and it is true they are very left leaning networks and are biased in their reporting. they can deny if they wish but its out there for the public to see for themselves, The question for us, Should our tax dollars be used to continue to support them if they are biased? this is not the first time PBS AND NPR have had questions asked about their programming and reporting, and President TRUMP is not the first President to question them, Most will remember that MITT ROMNEY when running for president stated he would defund them, My personal opinion about both, Give them a chance to change direction and at least go to the center and report fairly on both sides of any and all issues and if they cant do that then its time to pull american taxpayer dollars away from them, In all fairness they do on occassion offer some very interesting and informative programming, but the obvious bias has to stop.It needs to be made perfectly clear to them that they are receiving tax[ayer dollars and we expect fairness in their reporting, We dont fund the mainstream media but we do fund them and it can and will be stopped if they cant clean up the Bias Reporting.
