This is sure disturbing and I don't give money outside of my tax dollars. If people still choose to give that is okay with me because we need to keep it going somehow even though its another government kickback to a private contractor. However from my perspective full federal and state funding should be restored to NPR, PBS, WPR, and WPT, which would mean public donations go to enhancing American shows that have a production cost that would not happen in private television like the English Masterpiece.
