The Trump administration has drafted a memo to Congress outlining its intent to end nearly all federal funding for public media, which includes NPR and PBS, according to a White House official who spoke to NPR.
The memo, which the administration plans to send to Congress when it reconvenes from recess on April 28, will open a 45-day window in which the House and Senate can either approve the rescission or allow the money to be restored.
The official, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity, confirmed the existence of the draft.
Someone dig up Mr Rogers to remind Congress to do the right thing.
It’s too fucking late.
Yes, that’s the digging part. Get your shovel because… He ded.
I think it would be easier just to play the video from the first time…

Wasn’t there some discussions earlier about the fact that government funding was less than 1% of what’s needed to run NPR ?
I’m not surprised. I’m disappointed, but not surprised
I’m surprised it took this long.
