NPR, PBS get money restored

By Shailagh Murray and Paul Farhi

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - Unable to lower the budget ax on National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, the House agreed by a wide margin Thursday to restore funds to public broadcasting, as lawmakers struggled to pass the most politically painful spending bill so far this year.

The House voted 284-140 to restore $100 million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's fiscal 2006 budget that had been cut in a committee, and to reverse a committee decision to eliminate all funding for the CPB within two years. The vote followed a public relations blitz by public radio and TV stations, which fomented a widespread protest campaign by broadcasting ads that urged viewers and listeners to call their congressional offices.

The reason I despise George Soros and moveon.org is because he/it compared President Bush to Hitler :)
