The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament.
We fought fascism from day 1.
