Why a timeline?

Just don’t fund them and see if they survive!

Do they automatically get funded thru some arcane rule?...............

My local “public” radio station has been running messages warning of their dire need for donations. “Now, more than ever, we need . . . “

From the article: “The story we’re hearing is that some rural Republicans are worried about their constituents losing their only source for news.”

First, of course, that’s crap. They don’t have satellite or WiFi capability? But second, taking this bs concern as true, let me get this straight: people in the country have a hard time getting news so we should…. Give them government-paid left wing propaganda? Honestly, my dog is a deeper thinker than these people

A good start but defunding is not enough.

Seize and dismantle enemy enterprises.

I used to watch NPR and listen to PBS in the car.

I liked the minimal advertising breaks.

And they had good programing.

All of this was pre-internet and pre-satellite radio. 1980-90s

But, eventually the PBS/NPR Leftist lean became too stark to tolerate.

It is sad because they did have some content that I did enjoy. Some of the the documentaries that they produced were good.

Back in the 1970s NOVA was must see TV for me.

If we can’t cut funding from NPR and PBS with a $36 trillion debt, we are doomed.

Even in my conservative (60-40% Trump) area the public station is run by liberals who use it as their play-toy to push their politics. They waste the money they are given and constantly cry for more. Cut the funding!

Dear Republican Federal Legislator:

President Trump needs to cut wasteful spending.

If you feel some spending in the recission bill should continue, please inform me with specifics by 12 noon on Wednesday.

Thank You,

Your Majority Leader

Better that citizens receive no news than they receive propaganda thinking its news.

Makes me want to vomit that it is somehow so difficult to reduce the budget by a pittance compared to the total budget and especially compared with the debt.

Many, many moons ago, I first witnessed the insanity* of the PBS & NPR “non-commercial” status. They would BRAG & BRAG about how pure and untarnished they were. What I witnessed was that at the beginning of each show, or each hour, they would thank their generous “sponsors.” Yes, there were the typical foundation sponsors, but eventually they thanked the generosity of Pepsi, GE, etc.

The only company they would not take money from is Halliburton.

**insanity - I was going to put insanity and hypocrisy, but leftist never feeeeeeel hypocritical. They are above the masses they pretend to care about.
