Moving Forward: PBS and NPR Funding, Tariffs, Karen Read Case

Moving Forward PBS and NPR Funding, Tariffs, Karen Read Case

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Matt Cookson, Agustin Forzani, and, and Tom Blakely.

What the American taxpayers are getting for their money from PBS and NPR is raising serious budget questions in Congress. Matt Cookson says, in light of Congressional testimony, NPR and PBS should be defunded.

Supporters of tariffs say that the goal of such measures is to bring jobs back to the U.S. by building factories here. Agustin Forzani makes the case against Trump's tariffs and explains why the more you work, the richer you are. 

The Karen Read saga has raised a number of scandalous questions about criminal justice in Massachusetts. Tom Blakely describes how the case has become a blemish on the state.
