House protects public broadcasting – CNN.com:
The House on Wednesday evening overwhelmingly rejected President Bush’s plan to eliminate the $420 million federal subsidy for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The 357-72 vote demonstrated the enduring political strength of public broadcasting. The outcome was never in doubt, unlike a fight two years ago when Republicans tried but failed to slash public broadcasting subsidies.
I was surprised to see that MT’s lone representative Denny Rehberg actually voted for the bill…perhaps because of everything else in it. I can’t recall him being a friend of public broadcasting in the past.
