DING DING DING- we have a Winner!

THIS IS THE BIGGEST FAKE NEWS SITE OF ALL!!

(once in a while they will put in an interesting Nova
or such— but that is just fluff - to get suckers to stay tuned for the next indoctrinating Leftist diatribe)

More arrogant, “holier than thou” Liberal commentators would be looking for a job. Other than that, nothing.

There's no particular reason why “Public” Radio should disappear.There *is*,however,a *damn* good reason for every penny of taxpayer $$$ to be withdrawn from NPR *and* PBS.And once that happens they can,thanks to the First Amendment,continue presenting their typical content.The money problem can surely be worked out.

Maybe some Oldies specials on public TV

But most everyone who works or listens/watches are left wingers

Who need to find real jobs in the real world

Get rid of NPR and public TV. Government has no business in the sector, esp the “news” and opinion sector

“If there is programming people want to watch then someone will sponsor it or it will end up on a pay to watch medium like the internet or cable”

“That’s called “market capitalism”!

Amen! Hopefully Trump will do away with this bs of us having to pay for tv channels that we don’t want to watch.

Give us a cafeteria approach to our tv choices.

We are boycotting NFL and the slew of NFL regurgitation channels/programs.

We don’t speak Spanish, Chicom or some SE Asia language, why do we have to pay for those channels.

Regardless, we will be cutting the Comcast TV Cord next month and using Sling/Roku and streaming tv products on the internet on our smart tv. Sling enables us to watch local TV stations as part of their package or for $5/month for CBS and ABC.

Naw, even if someone or a recording device was there it wouldn’t make a sound, just noise.

Since we still have no means for Everyday Joe’s words to be heard, we still need public broadcasting...

My dyslexia is kicking in again. I read the title as

“What if Puerto Rico disappeared?”

If shows like Morning Edition, etc. were truly neutral or balanced I might have a different opinion—but 95% is so obviously slanted left or hard left I can’t stomach it.

May be different, but as I told my wife, you’ve got a much better than 75% chance that every time you turn it on, you will have some story where the focus is about either gay rights, or feminism, or oppression of minorities. Everything they do is filtered through those biases.

While I occasionally check into Public Radio, nothing in my life, nor any ones life that I personally know, would change in anyway if PR was gone.

What if public radio disappeared? My guess: lots of crappy tote bags gather dust in a warehouse.

We’d stop wasting our tax money, for one.
