[Chewbacca]

On the topic of funding I am basically libertarian, But while public funds are being used to do it, the decision making process on how the funds are used should be transparent, fair, and consistent.

Of course either way CC is funded, we will still pay. If not in taxes than in higher cable/satellite bills, more commercials, and/or other methods networks can use to squeeze dough out of us to recoup the costs.
