    Man they are STEALING our AIRWAVES

    WE PAID FOR THIS. WE DID, NOT TRUMP. The CPB did more for rural Americans than nearly anything i can think of.

    And the GOP murdered it for votes. Sacrificed Sesame Street on the altar.

    I motion that in the absence of the Congressionally-created CPB, all airwaves are public, fuck the FCC. Let’s go Pirate Radio.

    Problem with leading with the fact that NPR only gets a small portion of it’s budget from the CPP, is that it ignores that the locally funded affiliates pay for NPRs content. And a lot of those smaller affiliates are now going away.

    Fucking ending the article with a Trump shit spewing quote. Just to really leave an even extra awful taste after reading about this.

      If PBS only aired programming about how our water is turning the frogs gay. Then they’d be non-partisan enough to remain funded.
