I was listening this morning to our local Spectrum news channel in Tampa. They were talking about a $280,000 hit that a local NPR station in Tampa had incurred because of the BBB law.
We usually have our AM radio set to the local Moody Bible Radio station.
Moody has stations across the USA and I really doubt that Moody’s costs for a local station are above $100,000.
I would like to see details about these local NPR stations. My guess is that the NPR stations are over-staffed and the staff is over-paid.
> the radio station lost $500million in federal funding for an alleged bias against conservatives <
I don’t care if NPR is biased or not. Taxpayer money shouldn’t be supporting radio stations. Or pizza parlors. Or whatever. Fund truly essential services only.
Side note to NPR: There are plenty of liberals with plenty of money. So quit yer whining and hold more pledge drives. And maybe have some bake sales, too.

So sad. Notttttt! 🤣🤣
Well, BYE!!!
Fascist, Authoritarian, Extremist, Mysoginst, Sexist, Autocratic, yadda, yadda, yadda. Frequently the phrases are contradictory to the suggested meanings.
"Trump is a greedy fascist capitalist authoritarian", as an example. All words chosen to trigger an audience, yet not supported by definition. The leftist media does this 24/7.
OMG every restaurant in the Palisades neighborhood in DC will go out of business. Nina Totenburg will have to go to a grocery store if all her restaurants go out of business.
“The federal money was somehow simultaneously a tiny portion of their budget and also crucial to their continued operation.”
***********
Yep, a huge lie designed to maintain massive federal funding flowing into the PBS propaganda empire.
The federal gravy train is over for them.
I remember during Iran-Contra, they were continuously talking about which members of the Bush team were going to be arrested soon according to the latest rumors on Capital Hill.
When the Clinton-Monica thing happened, they said they did not engage in rumor-mongering.
Nina’s in her 80s. This could be a mercy retirement for her.
Stupid, at least she would qualify for unemployment if she was fired.
Used to be “No worries”.
The connected ones would land cushy sinecures at other Non-Profits, Universities, or “Think Tanks”.
But USAID has been cleansed.
So the Spigots are off.
Maybe they can learn to code?
“”OMG every restaurant in the Palisades neighborhood in DC will go out of business. Nina Totenburg will have to go to a grocery store if all her restaurants go out of business.””
She probably doesn’t know how to cook so I’m guessing it’s TV dinners for her from now on. Awwww....she might be ok though, since she has an estimated $8 million to pay for those groceries.
They’ve had years to straighten out. Never did, so too bad, so sad.
Today’s topic on All Things Considered - “Have you considered getting a real job?”
I’m pretty sure this bunch will be able to find a gig teaching their crap at a far-left college or university like Harvard. I heard yesterday that one of those RAT holes is going to offer a PH.D in “Being Happy.” You can bet that’s going to be a tough one.
When NPR has a vacancy they can hire some of the “joke” writers in the 100 person Stephen Colbert staff. If not the Chinese Communist news staff who ae looking for a change of scenery without a change of outlook.
“Yep, a huge lie designed to maintain massive federal funding flowing into the PBS propaganda empire.”
I’m not sure their propaganda had much effect. Who watches PBS except committed socialists?
OTOH, it was a comfortable six figure income for grifters who ought to be doing something productive to earn income.
“So the Spigots are off.”
Open Society Foundation and Tides are still going strong.
Nancy Zieman passed away, but her shows are still on. I will miss them.😔 Once in awhile I watched “The Slavery Guilt Show” (Finding Your Roots), but I was not going to pay extra to get the newest shows and his attitude sucked. I donated once only to watch Nancy Zieman.
They took off the best shows.
They should pivot to what the do best: selling made in China tote bags.
