170 Million Americans like it, want it and see the value in it!!! => PBS (Public Broadcasting System)

Once again, the American people have said that when it comes to trust, you can't beat public broadcasting.

For the ninth consecutive year, national research confirmed that PBS is the most trusted institution in the United States and is considered an "excellent" use of tax dollars --  Only military defense outranked PBS as the best value for the American tax dollar.

The research was conducted in January and February 2012 by the independent, non-partisan research companies Harris Interactive and ORC Online Caravan.

In the same poll, Americans enthusiastically endorsed public broadcasting as the best place for educational programming. PBS KIDS was named the most educational TV/media brand, the safest destination for children to watch television or visit online and the top provider of content that helps children build reading and math skills.

Despite all of this research, some national politicians continue to call for the elimination of federal funding for your local public radio and television stations. Annual funding for public broadcasting that amounts to less than $1.35 per citizen. That's a small investment for a big return.
