It seems impossible to make sense of a president who would threaten to veto a compromise funding bill to cover cancer treatments for children sick with cancer, while public television and radio stations receive almost a half-billion dollars in funding. According to the Daily Treasury Statement and first reported by CNS News, the administration dished out $445 million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) on the first day of the slimdown, which means funds for the likes of PBS Newshour, NPR and “Sesame Street” are being spent before cancer research. “It’s more than irresponsible, it is reprehensible. It’s an ‘in-your-face’ move by the administration, blatantly picking winners and losers in this shutdown,” C. Edmund Wright, a columnist for Breitbart and American Thinker, told FOX411. “Public broadcasting is a staple of liberal propaganda.” PBS and NPR are state-funded (in part) left-wing media outlets.
