NPR and PBS are the only quality radio and tv stations left in the US that bring unbiased, relevant information to the US citizens. The commercial tv stations no longer bring relevant news or in depth information about issues that have an impact on the lives of American citizens. It's mostly reduced to chatter about celebrities and cooking now. A functioning democracy needs an informed population. I do acknowledge that with voting rights comes the duty to keeping yourself informed about the issues that the democratically elected representatives vote on, but it would be a much more difficult task for the average voter to do without the existence of PBS and NPR. Save public media - save democracy in the US!
