[Original title: NPR, Truth, and Public Funding] President Trump has repeated his call to defund PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) and NPR (National Public Radio).

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. The prototype of Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims who celebrated their first harvest in the New World in 1621 with their new friends, the Native-Americans.
