“What about PBS and Pacifica?”

American Public Radio, and Pacifica are a bit of a different animal. They are actually Private Foundations that provide programming, that Public-owned Radio stations use your tax dollars to pay for.

Yes, they are taxpayer supported, but through a third channel. They don’t get direct subsidy, like NPR does.

That said, some of the most insane, outrageous, and racist comments I’ve ever heard have come from Pacifica’s Chicago affiliate

Now, everyone, get funding for your local affiliates cut off if you want NPR actually defunded:
