But almost immediately after Richard Nixon took office in 1969, Nixon tried to cut its proposed funding. He did not like being criticized, and he saw the media as his adversary. So that year, Mr. Rogers, who is still establishing himself and his neighborhood as this educational place on television for children, he goes to testify before a Senate committee about the value of public television.

At that time, those goosebumps did help keep the CPB's funding intact. But when President Nixon was reelected in 1972, he again targeted the CPB and vetoed a measure that would have given it more funding. So in the next administration, in an attempt to protect CPB's funding, The Public Broadcasting Financing Act of 1975 gets passed. And this is important.

So a rescission means taking back money that has already been appropriated but has not been spent yet. This is something the president can ask Congress to do to avoid spending funds on things like the CPB. Brooks says, yes, having Mr. Rogers or Big Bird show up on Capitol Hill, that's fun and helpful.

But really, the funding for CBB has survived because a bipartisan majority of representatives in the House have supported public broadcasting. Their constituents wanted it. That is because 70% of this government money goes to the 1,500 locally owned public radio and TV stations. These are all across the country. And they take that money from the CPB and they spend it in a bunch of different ways.

Some of that money might go to pay NPR for programming. A lot goes to pay local reporters and to pay the cost of running a station. So, Brooke says that cutting CPB funding would hurt NPR, yes, but it would hurt these local stations a lot more. Stations that act as a service and might be the only source of local news.
