One can hope and dream that taxpayer funding for NPR has come to an end. Ditto for PBS.
Highly unlikely. A wonderful dream yes, but almost no chance it will happen - probably not in our lifetime.
The problem is Democrats know they just need to trot out pictures of Big Bird, round up some teachers to say how essential public broadcasting "for the kids", and the public folds like a cheap suit - particularly women.
Tax payer funding for public broadcasting will end when liberals figure out that it would actually be in their best interest. NPR is already liberal, but without tax payer funding it can come out of the closet and be a full on left wing media outlet.
