If those stations go off the air, who is buying that content?
It's like arguing it doesn't matter if the stream dries up the plants don't get water from the stream, the plants get the water from the ground. Where did that water in the ground come from? The stream!
You're right, these shows aren't going off the air tomorrow. But this does affect the funding for the shows produced by PBS and NPR.
This would make sense if CPB cuts meant all stations were going off the air, but the major market stations where most of the money comes from are fine.

Don’t worry, they will be able to get plenty of grants for content promoting Trump’s businesses
