The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced it will be shutting down operations after Congress pulled its funding at the direction of President Donald Trump.

In a press release Friday, the CPB said it would begin "an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package" last month.

"For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country," CPB said in its statement. "Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community."

Someone needs to salt their studios. I hope they stay gone for good.

They are nothing more than partisan propagandists.

If a NGO can’t continue without USAID money, they were GOs.

I have to pinch myself. Seems too good to be true. Am I dreaming this?

From Google AI:
“As of August 1, 2025, NPR receives about 1% of its operating budget directly from the federal government. “

They did that for probably 30 of their 60 years...

They used to provide things like Captain Kangaroo and Mister Rodgers Neighborhood to educate kids, and shows like Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Square One, etc. All clean, fun shows for kids to learn. Also brought shows over from other countries like Britain - like the old school “MYSTERY!” series that featured these shows. So then, yes, they did.

Now what do we have? Shows pushing the leftist agenda on both kids and adults - cartoons featuring same sex marriage, pride month, etc. PBS Newshour is hardly the McNeil-Lehrer Newshour. They squandered and ended that mandate when they started garbage like this.

I believe Capt. Kangaroo was a network program.

I proposed knocking down the building, grinding the residue to atoms, and salting the ground it stood on to prevent it from reincarnating itself.
