When was the last time you heard of federal dollars flowing into overtly conservative programming?  While there may be a tiny handful of outliers, generally speaking this does not happen.  For decades the majority of public funding subsidies for social programs inevitably goes to progressive run organizations.  For anyone who is right leaning in their politics, the idea of their hard earned money being handed over to people who hate them and everything they stand for is disconcerting.

Why should conservatives support federal funding if that money is being used to propagandize them and indoctrinate their children?  Why isn't there any requirement for publicly funded programs to remain politically neutral?

The U.S. Senate this week passed the Trump administration’s proposal to cancel $9 billion in federal funds previously allocated for foreign aid and public broadcasting, and the House of Representatives approved the package after midnight Friday, sending it to President Trump’s desk.

No more government funding for PBS and NPR.

If people love and depend on PBS/NPR as much as PBS/NPR believe they are, then people will fund PBS/NPR.
