I believe you will find that PBS receives less than 10% of its funding from the government. Slightly over 50% is member funding (donations), remainder is from from corporate and institutional sponsors who get short advertising spots.
PBS is probably the best open source of news in the USA; I don't always agree with them (their unquestioning reporting of manmade global warming for example) but I find I can just turn down the volume in those cases rather than suffer a seizure.
