Just like public radio.

Needs to waddle on to his next 'fake executive' action and find something else to try and destroy. He's definitely going to fail at this.

Thanks for your reply, bif.

The veritable clown show!

Too bad for all of us we got the serial killer clowns.

Thanks again.

why did NPR bend to Newt Gingrich's threat to pull all of their government funding, back when he did his infamous "Contract for America" BS. We renamed it, more like what it actually was: Contract ON America........
At that point NPR conceded and agreed that they would start doing "He said, She said" reporting. Which allowed the Republicans to do nothing but tell total LIES on their "She Said" part of every story......

... at that time public broadcasting depended more on government funding than it does now. The PBS and NPR networks can survive just fine without government funding. It's their member stations I worry about. The big ones will survive, though they will have to find cutbacks somewhere. Or more on air pledge drives. It's the smaller stations and the more rural stations I'm concerned about. Best case scenario they find the money and stay on air. Worst case they close down and sell their licence to a religious broadcaster (just what we need, another K-Love /s) or middling case they get taken over by a nearby station and operations get combined.

It is unfathomable that they would roll for 1%.

If you are 1% short you just keep slinging tote bags till you get it. It is the most listened-to network in the country. People will pay for it when push comes to shove.

It doesn't make a lick of sense. Either they are drastically over-valuing that 1% (in which case bring in new management), or that 1% is not an accurate representation of what is flowing in (in which case, elect Democrats so we can secure that funding again).

And be increasing my monthly contribution.

We've upped our donations by giving when there is a matching offer. Actual fair and balanced news even when Reich wingers get to spew their bullshit we still get a more honest interpretation of what's happening in the world.

I would cut his nuts off and feed them to him before drowning him in his family shit.

Apart from my scheduled Nova, Masterpiece and Mystery shows, I always find a few unexpected things to record, even if its just a Rick Steves show I've already seen a few times.

Sinclair ruined commercial TV in my area buying 8 stations saying the same things.
I can't take the ad breaks every 12 - 15 minutes.
All Americans should discover the wonders of PBS.
It's not your parents PBS. It is a very modern broadcasting.
The programming on PBS is so far above anything on commercial TV.
There is also 'Create', travel, art, and cooking channel, 3 in one!
When I retired I started watching a few shows; Antiques Roadshow and Doc Martin.
But then I started watching more shows like Nova and Nature and soon found it harder to go back to commercial TV.
Now I'm at the point if nothing is on PBS, I turn the TV off or maybe watch a DvD.

Maybe that's the reason for this regime trying to axe public programs. Force people to listen to the commercial drivel (or government NewSpeak.)
