Let Soros fund it.
Good riddance. Everything the left touches turns to poo.
But… but… but.. they NEED OTHER-PEOPLE’S-MONEY. They NEED it.
Here in Alaska, there’s like 6 PBS channels. Pretty much all of them are leftist propaganda.
CPB has already closed it’s doors and is not accepting money on behalf of it’s state suscribers.
The states are now scrambling to keep existing members and, I believe, failing.
Libs can put their money where their mouthpiece is.
That ideal, of dubious nobility, was a fraud from the start.
The federal government has no business funding public broacasying whether liberal, conservative, or neutral.
Yeah their new call sign CCCP.
This is going to be interesting. As I understand it, the CPB handles all the licensing for music with ASCAP,BMI and the others. Also satellite fees for the BBC and national programming. Indiviual stations will need to foot the bill for these and many other services.
Well, they have time to figure it out. I hope it's an uphill battle.
Leeches, parasites.
Will they show "Vremya"?
Good one a keeper
All NPR stations say they get very little funding directly from the Federal government and depend upon local funding.
They don’t say how much they get indirectly.
I used to get a kick out of NPR because it was a hoot to come across so many conservatives posting on their web forums. NPR did not like hosting a conservative point of view, and their response was to silence free speech on their public forums and delete all discussion forums. I never tuned in again.
So called ‘public transportation’ is the same.
It’s become ‘reduced rate ‘kinda’ accessible transportation for the people of the democrat base’. The best of public transportation was created many decades ago and built for ‘all citizens’...
“...the CPB handles all the licensing for music with ASCAP,BMI and the others. “
I didn’t know that. That means CPB going away will be an ongoing problem for stations that is bigger than just the grants they get.
Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda
On 25 March 1933 Goebbels explained the future function of the Ministry of Propaganda to broadcasting company directors:
"The Ministry has the task of carrying out an intellectual mobilization in Germany. In the field of the spirit it is thus the same as the Ministry of Defense in the field of security. Spiritual mobilization is just as necessary, perhaps even more necessary, than making the people materially able to defend themselves."
