Well, they’ve finally done it—Republicans have defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally-funded non-profit that operates the Public Broadcasting System and National Public Radio. Note that this defunding is not a temporary executive order, one which a future Democratic President could undo with the stroke of a pen: it’s part of Congress’s budget cutting, and the House holds the power of the purse.
Sure, it could all be undone, but it would require a Democratic President (or a RINO) and a Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate. Those both might return someday, but for now, conservatives and champions of limited and small(er) government can relish this accomplishment.
