LOL Trumpy is all upset that they won’t do his bidding and spread his lies. Trump also wants to defund them but then also exercise authority which he does not have? Sure, Jan…
Uri Berliner, longtime journalist at NPR, finally called it quits because it has become such a partisan joke.
““It’s frictionless — one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad and the dire threat of Republican policies. It’s almost like an assembly line,” said Berliner, an East Coast establishment guy who is almost certainly no great fan of Republicans. Berliner has admitted that he wants NPR and PBS to remain public.
But what’s the point? As someone who pledged as recently as the early 2010s, I can’t even listen to it anymore.
The question is: if NPR only gets a tiny fraction of its funding from the feds (as they routinely claim), why are the muckety-mucks at Corporation for Public Broadcasting so adamant that they remain public? Why not enter the private marketplace and compete freely with WaPo, NYT, and the Atlantic? Sure, the mega foundations like Ford and Kaiser Family will have no tax incentive to “donate” to a private company, but then (at the very least) NPR could get all sorts of money from ad revenue. Or is possible that Maher and her activist board recognize that WaPo and NYT are only still operational because of billionaire bailouts…and the billionaires are getting a little tired?
NPR and PBS (and VOA) can go. Not needed propaganda. Not federally funded at $0 dollars at least. Be relevant / truthful / fair / common sense / competitive or just simply die immediately. You are just PORK the liberals have been gorging themselves on for decades. Liberals are bursting as the seams. Pigs.
For a lot of Americans NPR is the last of the local news sources as print has dried up. I can see how this would work so well for Trump. Keep ‘em ignorant!
I assume you have never actually watched PBS…. If you had, you would realize this is a stupid take
Law, statutes matter. Period.
Per that thing called the Constitution, Courts matter. Period.
