Doesn’t mean jack. Senate will NOT pass it. If they truly had any cojones at all they would have put it in the CR.

The ‘public’ radio and TV stations are able to offer tax deduct-ability for contributions. I think this is supposed to go hand in hand with not carrying commercial advertising. But to me it seems like they have crossed the line into advertising, thus should lose the tax exempt status. Best for them to be entirely cut loose and operate under the same rules as commercial stations.

Michelle Bachmann was on local radio here in MN this morning...please tell me this bill cuts ALL NPR funding, not just redirects it to ‘certain’ NPR programming.

Does this have to go to the Senate also or can they just defund it?

Aww, our tax dollars won’t fund a Dem spin machine.
Not to worry, they will always have the mediocre alphabet channels to do it.
