Hasn't it been largely free of interference up until now? And would you prefer it suffer from corporate interference like all other media?

  It's been a political football for decades. Conservatives use it as an example of liberal spending run amok, so public broadcasting has had to constantly look over its shoulder during that time. No, I would like to eliminate corporate influence as well, but that might not be possible in a capitalist society.

    Take a tax supported public good, remove the public support and then claim to worry about corporate influence? What do you think was holding that corporate influence at bay?

      Unfortunately, the necessary level of public support doesn't exist, so relying on government money isn't viable. I hope public broadcasting will get enough money directly from individuals to resist excessive corporate influence, but we'll have to see.
