Why Idaho Public Television/Radio Should Be Self Sufficient
Recently the Idaho Legislature voted down a resolution to defund state funding of Idaho Public Television. The vote was 2-16 during a meeting of the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee, reports the Idaho Press. Almost 3 million dollars passed another motion that increases funding. Idaho taxpayers pay nearly 10 million dollars to fund free Idaho Public Television.
Supporters of Idaho Public Television say that its programming is educational and nonpartisan. PBS has long been criticized nationally for its one-sided approach to covering issues. Republicans have failed at the national level to cut funding for public television.
