When CPB was originally created in 1967, the goal was to create outlets for programming that would not be carried by commercial TV and radio stations. There are now many hundreds of commercial cable TV and internet outlets broadcasting every type of content imaginable, none of them taxpayer-supported. Furthermore, the CPB is incredibly biased toward almost exclusively providing politically left-wing content. It needs to be self-supporting.
