"I just have to say, on a personal level, I learned to read by watching Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
"One of those that we found, which Republicans and conservatives have talked about for decades, is state-sponsored media in the United States."
Rep. Brandon Gill compared PBS funding to state-sponsored propaganda during a CNN discussion with Jake Tapper. Speaker Mike Johnson seeks to eliminate the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's funding, totaling around $500 million annually. Tapper emphasized PBS's educational value, citing personal experiences with shows like Sesame Street. Gill's stance reflects a broader Republican desire to cut funding, framing PBS and NPR as left-wing propaganda. This debate occurs during efforts to craft a significant spending bill, which may also extend previous tax cuts.
