Episode 84
About the Episode
President Trump voiced his support for defunding America's public broadcasters. It comes a day before the heads of PBS and NPR testify before a House subcommittee. The hearing will examine public media with calls for federal funding cuts growing louder. That funding, in part, helps support the work of PBS News. William Brangham explains how public media is funded and how we got to this point.
