Plenty of private companies get public funding and say and do whatever they want. We already have PBS and NPR, we should just increase their budgets.

    I disagree. PBS and NPR have deep political biases in their programming. Either remove the biases, or scrap the programs. I don't need entities telling me how to think, I will review facts and come to my own conclusions.

    As for private companies that get public funding...that's a bit vague, so I can't comment on that.
