This is actually a pretty important move. I actually torture myself listening to NPR fairly often, and it’s pretty unreal the degree of left-wing bias that exists there, all delivered of course with an air of high-minded impartiality. They don’t deserve the support of a government that represents all Americans. And they’ll actually do just fine based on the various other kinds of grants, private donations and corporate sponsorship that they have access to.
It’s a very, very small move in terms of budget reduction.
Yet in terms of symbolism it’s huge. Bigly.
The left will mobilize screaming about killing Big Bird, who ironically is an HBO show now.
