Commentary
President Trump has threatened to cut federal funding for the National Endowment for the Arts which will directly impact public radio and television (NPR and PBS). With cuts desperately needed to fix our deficit, things will have to suffer. As much as I am a proponent for the arts, I think this cut is necessary. However I truly believe bringing it back to the state level will make it great again. PBS has endured record low viewership for a while, maybe it's because it doesn't focus on local activities and give local groups the chance to broadcast because it's on a national level. We discuss this and more."
