Ben Ferguson: 我认为NPR和PBS利用纳税人的钱进行政治宣传，这是不公平的。他们声称第一修正案赋予他们永久获得资金的权利，即使他们的报道不公正和不准确。我认为应该取消对NPR和PBS的资助，让他们自负盈亏。 Ted Cruz: 我认为NPR和PBS的诉讼是荒谬的，他们声称第一修正案禁止取消对他们的资助，因为他们的报道不公正和不准确。我认为任何客观的人都不能否认NPR和PBS存在偏见。他们有权发表任何无稽之谈，但他们无权要求纳税人为他们的党派谎言买单。我正在努力推动国会取消对NPR和PBS的资助。 Catherine Maher: 作为NPR的CEO，我认为第一修正案是我们面临的最大挑战，因为它保护了平台和个人发表言论的权利，即使这些言论是不准确或具有误导性的。我们正在努力解决不良信息的问题，但第一修正案使我们很难做到这一点。
