> On NPR's Morning Edition recently, Nina Tottenberg said that if  the Supreme 
> Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of  the National Public 
> Radio (NPR), National Endowment for the Arts  (NEA) and the Public 
> Broadcasting System (PBS). PBS, NPR and the  arts are facing major cutbacks 
> in funding. In spite of the efforts  of each station to  reduce spending 
> costs and streamline their  services, some government officials believe that 
> the funding  currently going to these programs is too large a portion of  
> funding for something which is seen as not worthwhile.
