Replace the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with an independent trust funded by taxing ad revenue & license sales.

Created by J.A. on January 28, 2014

Thanks to the ever-growing state of commercial television as a hotspot of dumbed-down brain dead programs like "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo", "Jersey Shore" & "Pawn Stars" on their respective networks like The "Learning" Channel, MTV: "Music" Television, and The "History" Channel, we believe that public TV & radio aren't doing enough to persuade TV audiences to watch better quality & productive programming. The reason is that public media are at the mercy of corporate donors that use the CPB system to threaten to pull funding if certain shows oppose their values. So instead of one extreme of reforming the system to fund through the tax code like the CBC or BBC, lets instead take a proportion of our country's massive ad & commercial license revenue to fund public TV & radio instead.
