No Such Thing as Agenda-Free Art
PBS Funding Cut by US House Panel – Reuters
“This year, PBS’s news shows came under attack for allegedly having a liberal bias — a charge the group’s president denied. Conservatives also complained about a recent children’s show in which some of the characters visited a farm in Vermont that was run by a family headed by two women.”
–Richard Cowan
I suppose that the government believes that if it is going to be paying for something it might as well pay for something that supports its position. Publications or programming, art of any kind, requires funding and backing. I have said it before and I’ll say it again: There is no such thing as free art or free press.
