| #10 PBS, NPR, NEA, NEH all products of the Great Society spending spree. 20 trillion in debt and you can't even make the easy decision to get out of programs you no longer can afford. It's all affordable, on other peoples' money, till it isn't anymore. |

| #9 My wife is an artist. I never thought of applying for an NEA grant. Too late now, I guess. Oh well. |

| #6 The way I understand it the National Endowment for the arts spends a large chunk of their money in Manhattan, a very wealthy location dominated by one political party that could afford to pay for their own arts. If the NEA survives the money should be reallocated to school art programs. Let the left get in a twist about that. |

| #5 Trump Should End Government Funding of NPR's Biased News Rather than devoting precious time on the funding of individual programs one would think the President has more pressing issues. Besides, relatively speaking, NPR/PBS are tiny spuds. Granted the Executive administers and regulates as they see fit but allocation of funds for government programs should be primarily left to the Legislative branch. And fergawdzsake we don't need another term with department level bureaucrats thinking they alone control appropriations. |

| #4 Extortion funded media is something that should never have been allowed in America and certainly not after the Berlin wall fell. |

| #3 ...I am going to confess, my brothers and sisters... I am a regular NPR listener. My experience has been that - as long as you allow for windage - they do some of the best reporting out there. The problem is that one shouldn't have to 'allow for windage' in the first place, and the government shouldn't be paying for anybody to tell me or interpret the news. NPR - and PBS, for that matter - can stand or fall on their own. Mike |

| #1 Perhaps they could review all of the FCC licensees for promoting 'hate speech' masked as opinions or cutting journalism. Start with FOX and shepard smith. |
