funding of PBS and Corp for Pub Broadcastng.

funding of PBS: State that CPB and also PBS and NPR is government funded (500 Million dollars annually) as well as the other sources of funding. The present statement is unclear. When the AI generates an answer to the Question: is PBS government funded, it erroneously answers NO. This is false and AI cannot decipher the funding statement. 72.212.66.140 (talk) 02:26, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Left-wing biases should be called out

Their past election coverages starting in 2016 are more or less openly democratic party propaganda. In 2016 they managed to bring on a never Trump Republican as the only GOP voice sitting on the table. Also the mood and body language turned dark as the Trump win became more apparant. 2003:DA:C74E:2400:8DDB:B7D0:6C24:C57B (talk) 01:53, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I have to actually agree with you. Whether you like or dislike Trump or think PBS is biast or not, the fact that the president himself noted the supposed bias shouldn't go unmentioned. It's also a big factor in another attempt to defund PBS. I think similar things should be added to the NPR article as well. Maddox121 ForgotHisPassword (talk) 03:37, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
