No place in the constitution does it allow for the government funding their own news agency. Period.

[Lurker]

“ They were wrong, and so are the conservatives who want to defund public media.”

There’s no Constitutional authorization for such spending.

End it.

” NY Times Editorial Board Claims Defunding NPR, PBS Is Like Defunding Police”

well, in that case, NYT should be happy about that, right?

[KamperKen]

When they say defunding the police they mean defunding the KGB.

[Seruzawa]

Ha ha ha! You expected logical consistency from RATs. A classical blunder.

[Seruzawa]

Yes. Because it gets no Federal funding and the rules that entails. The $ isn’t worth the trouble.

No need for public radio, I listen to what I want when I want on streaming radio both at home and in my car. For a few bucks a month I get my music commercial free.

[grumpygresh]

Thought it was a Bee article.

[drypowder]

Per the headline, it would be like and kind if all of US police enforcement were loyal democrats.

[jimfree]

That might be the stupidest suggestion this month.

In-con-thevious! (/Princess Bride)

[blitz128]

Okay and they were for defunding the price so cool

[Salman]

Unlike old fashioned liars who try to keep their stories straight, it's whatever seems to score a point right now.

[Vaduz]

NYT are a branch of NPR and PBS cover up act in motion.

[larrytown]

I wish the NYT could be defunded, along with the Washington Post, etc.

Well, it's difficult to remember and appreciate on a daily basis, but they have been - to an extreme degree.

When newspapers were king, and ad sales were like rivers of cash - we were lost in a sea of political propaganda and gaslighting.

At one time the leftist media was like a steamroller and conservatism was a possum on the road.

Now, conservatism looks at the left through a large magnifying glass and is agitated - like a kid waiting for the sun to break through the clouds.

[silent majority rising]

Well said, Larrytown.

[fwdude]

The Dummycrats are becoming parodies of themselves. And not in a good, Babylon Bee way.
