"The PBS Newshour's" executive producer said that the program hoped to "build new relationships with a variety of locally based freelance video journalists around the country."

"A steady drop in corporate revenue" contributed to the program's decision to cut back.

Wasn’t that Lehrer and Ifill’s perch for the psedo-intellectuals?

Two Commies on the million-dollar teat funded by my taxes to hate the country that got them wealthy?

Die Big Bird, die.

“A steady drop in corporate revenue” contributed to the program’s decision to cut back.”

Another victim of Obama’s “recovery.” Now if NPR would follow suit.

Rush brought the “new media”

The loss is on the MSM.

Back when McNeil was on, I rarely missed a spot.

Quit PBS when they went totally PC bat shit crazy during the Clinton years and have never went back.

“”A steady drop in corporate revenue” contributed to the program’s decision to cut back.”

I fear you may be correct,

From the article: “”A steady drop in corporate revenue” contributed to the program’s decision to cut back....”

NPR is no longer needed

The USSA already has government mouthpieces: ABC CBS MSNBC CNN

Believe nothing.

Note to self: learn to copy and paste correctly:

Post should be:

Just like NPR. During Iran-Contra, they led every day with the latest rumors. When the Clinton Affair became public, they announced they would not engage in rumor-mongering.

I knew they were liberal. I just never knew they were owned by the Democrats.

Who are these corporate sponsors? The remaining ones need to be contacted and loudly boycotted.

Yet they support the Obama economic policies which drag down corporate earnings and thus their “corporate revenue” declines. It seems like a fair result to me.

Ah, it’s good to have some good news to offset the fact that the Obamadork and his White House Clown Show of Felin/Cretins have not been arrested and convicted.
