Klobuchar speaks out against bill cutting public broadcast funding

(MNN)-U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar is fighting a bill that would slash more than a billion dollars for public broadcasting that was already approved by Congress. She says bipartisan support must continue for the 1,500 local and regional public TV and radio stations in the country. The Minnesota Democrat told members, “The Corporation for Public Broadcasting supports public TV stations in my state in places like Duluth and Granite Falls and Austin and supports 16 public radio stations across our state like the ones in Grand Rapids, in Bemidji and in Brainerd. ” The White House and Republicans claim there is bias in public broadcasting.
