To: Rep. Miller, Sen. Justice, Sen. Capito

From: A verified voter in Charleston, WV

February 5

Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) plays a vital role in delivering free local news, quality educational programming, and objective, fact-based journalism without corporate or political agendas. For over two decades, Americans have consistently ranked PBS as the most trustworthy network for news and public affairs. Proposals to cut funding for PBS are concerning attempts to undermine independent media and limit access to trusted information for all Americans. An informed public with access to objective journalism is crucial for a healthy democracy. PBS's non-partisan, non-commercial nature allows it to provide balanced coverage and programming free from external influences or biases. Preserving funding for PBS ensures that Americans can continue to rely on this valuable public resource for reliable information and educational content. By rejecting efforts to defund PBS, Congress can safeguard the principles of free press and promote an informed citizenry. Independent media plays a crucial role in holding those in power accountable and fostering an engaged, well-informed society. Protecting PBS funding upholds these democratic values and ensures all Americans have access to trustworthy news and educational resources.
