The New York Times leadership actually attempted to sell readers on the dimwitted notion that stripping tax dollars from leftist public media is just as nutty as defunding police departments. This is the same newspaper that largely rationalized nixing police funding across a number of stories over the past few years.
The Times editorial board went to bat for lefty outlets NPR and PBS, which are on the verge of possibly getting $1.1 billion cut from their mothership Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The newspaper had the utter audacity to argue in a June 16 editorial that continuing literal government-funded propaganda is a founding ideal:
“When the private sector doesn’t provide an important service, the government often steps in. That is why the framers established the U.S. Postal Service; they believed no one else would deliver the mail to the entire country.”
Yes, according to The Times’s logic, getting a tax-funded “service” of crackpot left-wing codswallop from NPR about people hijacking the dinosaur emoji from transgenders and how The Communist Manifesto supposedly offers “refuge, inspiration, and argument” is just as important as getting your mail.

I can’t keep up with liberals. I thought they want to defund the police. Ugh
The Media Woke Police? Well, in that case, YES.
The once-respected NYT has turned into Looney Tunes.
If defunding NPR is the same as defunding the police, I assume the NYT is for it?
Breaks yer heart, don’t it?
Usually stop reading at ‘NY Slimes’, but since this about them and not really from them, this caught the eye:
We are reminded of the excesses of the ‘defund the police’ and ‘abolish ICE’ movements on the other side of the ideological spectrum. They adopted a fatalistic view of vital government services, suggesting that their imperfections justified their elimination. They were wrong, and so are the conservatives who want to defund public media.
The other side of the ideological spectrum?
Like they don’t claim any ownership.
That’s a little funny.
The Red Cross gets NO federal funding and look what that organization is able to do.
I listen to Capitol Public Radio several hours per day.
Classical all day, Jazz 7-Midnight.
It’s probably the best radio station in the western US.
No news/propaganda at all.
HOWEVER, there is a “sister station”, still under the Capitol Public Radio banner that is your typical NPR 7x24 propaganda. Absolute garbage.
They share the same studios and buckets of money.
We’ll probably lose both.
“I listen to Capitol Public Radio several hours per day.
Classical all day, Jazz 7-Midnight.

That sounds great. If they are that good, they should be able to make money selling advertising spots and not need govt funding.
The sister propaganda outlet is likely to cannibalize it to nothing because they think their disinformation is more important than great art.
Then it too will go off the air.
No, it’s more like defunding the DNC.
I know! They come out with so many loony notions it’s hard to keep up! It’s like swatting flies!
I wish the NYT could be defunded, along with the Washington Post, etc.
Oh, right. “Defunding NPR and PBS is just like cutting off the heads of kittens and puppies. You don’t hate kittens and puppies, do you?” Freaking NYT...
With all the channels available nowadays, along with the internet, there is simply no reason for the government to be funding any of them.
Neither does Hillsdale College.
Defunding NPR, PBS Is Like Defunding Narrative Police maybe.
It’s more like defunding a con artist.
Yes, if someone is breaking into my house, I’m calling NPR for help.
