Here’s why Alaska voted against the bill. In rural parts of Alaska, NPR is the only radio station around and internet/cell service is limited. They provide real time coverage of weather, high school sports, local government, fish forecasts etc. unfortunately, NPR bundles their LGBTQ + national news with the local service they provide.

Why can’t Alaska pay for its own “state radio”? With all of the profits from oil?

It seems bizarre to argue to spend hundreds of millions of dollars promoting Leftist propaganda so a few thousand people in Alaska can have access to that news. I’m sure an Alaskan news program could be circulated to the various religious and commercial stations that greatly outnumber the public stations.

Let’s be real: the Senators from Alaska are pork-addicted Marxists who love NPR’s neo-Bolshevism.
