Do it! They are both mouthpieces for the democratic party.
And prohibit the use of the word, “Public”, in their names, at the same time.
In protest, I’m going to cancel my pledge to PBS and use that money to buy a Tesla!!!!
Sesame Street has had an unfair toy monopoly for decades.
Good!!
Way overdue but better late than never.
This bill should be an easy one for Republicans to get behind, but we’ll see.
ABOUT DAMN TIME,
EXCELLENT.
Heck yeah!
I’m sick of my tax dollars being used to fund their leftist garbage.
If they do end Federal funding for NPR, PBS I can see MSM headlines TOYKO ROSE KILLED by imperialist dogs..........
Really? I didn’t know Kennedy actually did things.
Doubtful to get past cloture if that’s required
Excellent! Way past time to stop funding these Anti-American smudge pots of propaganda.
What are the odds of this actually passing?

Every Republican President since Richard Nixon has tried to strip the Corpora- tion for Public Broadcasting (CPB) of taxpayer funding. That is significant not just because it means that for half a century, Republican Presidents have failed to accomplish what they set out to do, but also because Nixon was the first President in office when National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which the CPB funds, went on air. In other words, all Republican Presidents have recognized that public funding of domestic broadcasts is a mistake. As a 35-year-old lawyer in the Nixon White House, one Antonin Scalia warned that conservatives were being “confronted with a long-range problem of significant social consequences—that is, the development of a government-funded broadcast system similar to the BBC.”
All of which means that the next conservative President must finally get this done and do it despite opposition from congressional members of his own party if necessary. To stop public funding is good policy and good politics. The reason is simple: President Lyndon Johnson may have pledged in 1967 that public broadcasting would become “a vital public resource to enrich our homes, educate our families and to provide assistance to our classrooms, but public broadcasting immediately became a liberal forum for public affairs and journalism.
Not only is the federal government trillions of dollars in debt and unable to afford the more than half a billion dollars squandered on leftist opinion each year, but the government should not be compelling the conservative half of the country to pay for the suppression of its own views. As Thomas Jefferson put it, “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagations of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”
Long overdue.
Just don’t let Soros and his pals buy it.
Good, but I will miss NOVA and Nature
An individual bill won’t pass because the Republicans don’t have 60 Senators to overcome the Democrat Filibuster. However, if it was put into the budget they could then pass it via reconciliation which only requires a majority........
