All Is Not Well on Sesame Street

[Commentary] Despite the Republican congressional leadership's best efforts to the contrary, funding has been restored for public broadcasting. But there is still much damage to undo and ill winds to deflect from our national debate on the future of public media. First and foremost, the public must understand that Republican attacks on PBS (Public Broadcasting System) and NPR (National Public Radio) have been two-pronged: one on funding, the other on governance, and both potentially devastating. But it is the governance issue that persists and, in the long term, could be the most ruinous for our public media.
