Legislative threats to single out UNC-TV for funding elimination appear mean-spirited, especially since no similar cuts were proposed for the symphony, museums or other cultural resources in our state. Lawmakers singled out public television because they didn’t like the handling of a documentary involving Alcoa, but also because they don’t believe public broadcasting presents a fair and balanced offering of programs and don’t think the public should fund one-sided presentations.
