Hi Nomi, I was waiting for somebody more knowledgeable to answer your question, but here goes. A number of years back, PBS became a target in the Republican Party culture wars.

Thanks, Roland. I just replied to Jean-Pierre. And right now my eyes are screaming at me to get off the screen.
Gotta listen to the eyes 👍
