NP, no it can’t. PBS stations don’t run advertising and what they air has education value and not commercial value. Many stations can survive via fund raising but in remote areas the money isn’t there.

Long overdue to let them stand on their own

There are a lot of rural communities like rural Kansas where public broadcasting is the only way they have to get local news, weather, high school sports, agricultural updates and so on. Smoky Hills PBS serves 1.2 Kansans over 71 counties. They are going to be gutted, losing half of their budget.

Seems Trump gives even less of a shit about rural "flyover country" than the democrats do.

Well then they should have been more responsible and reported the news such as high school sports and weather and ag reports; and avoided progressive nonsense.

I’m a former NPR listener who was shocked by how biased it had become in recent years. Can you imagine if a public radio had dared report with a conservative lens?

They 100% deserve this.

As has been pointed out many times, reality has a liberal bias. Sorry about your feelings.

I imagine that a liberal's brain is full of 20 slogans that appear in their minds when agitated, like a Magic 8 Ball. "Every accusation is a confession/projection!" "History will judge you!" "Reality has a liberal bias!"

It's like there's a hamster in a wheel powering their brains, searching for the right slogan or accusation to throw out. Pathetic.

I’m sorry, can you show me on doll where the educated people hurt your feelings, snowflake?

They hurt me right here.

Yawn. Nothing compared to right wing snowflake dipshits having tantrums burning various companies products in their back yards and so on.

NPR strayed from its purpose of neutral unbiased reporting, so a FAFO moment for them. PBS was not as bad but again they brought this on themselves.

NPR and PBS each would help themselves if they simply got out of the news business and refocused on other areas (examples: arts, science, nature).

The partisan allegations are not being directed at PBS's Nova, Nature, or This Old House programming. They are not directed at NPR's music programming (jazz, classical, what not).

This. And even FDR New Deal die-hard Democrats were recognizing this 15+ years ago.

We will keep it alive till 2029. F the republicans and fake christians.

2029?

But you told us if Trump won, there’d never be another election again. Democracy would die, and all that stuff.


Now you’re huffing and puffing that Dems are going to win in ‘28 and have payback starting in 2029?


How’s that going to happen if there won’t be anymore elections, like you promised us?



Explain yourself, simpleton.

Except the inconvenient truth is that all these rural NPR stations are just rebroadcasting programming feeds from NPR production hubs in Boston, DC, LA, Chicago or NYC. There’s almost NO truly “local” news content on these stations each day. They’re just re-broadcasting All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, RadioLab, etc. They might do a few minutes each week of actual, locally created content. Other than that, it’s all NPR syndicated programming.

During the flooding events in Texas in early July, the local NPR station wasn’t even staffed when the flood warnings went out. They made no mention of it all because they were in automated overnight programming.

That’s how NPR is “serving” rural communities. By being a re-broadcast conduit for urban programming from big cities. A total failure of their duty to inform local communities.

And there it is. Boom.

You say this on every thread. It's a 20 or 30 year old joke that everyone has heard and is no longer clever. Get some new material.

Yes, just like Clinton's emails.

No one brings up Clinton's emails in these threads. In fact, no one talks about her emails apart from Hillary, because she sells "But Her Emails" merch.

But you did it for years!

No. Hillary ran around talking about how she lost because of her emails. But Trump won and it was a settled issue. Hillary props up "But Her Emails" for profit. She's right that the email situation factored into her loss, but after Trump won, it was irrelevant.

Admit that NPR and PBS had a leftist bias that was driving listeners away and not fully serving the needs of the American people. And then explain what steps she.woukd take to provide a more balanced product.

But like all highly privileged white wealthy know it all progressives, she double and tripled down. It was her own hubris that killed the funding.

Yet there is no credible analysis anywhere other than terminally online right wing kooks that says NPR and PBS have anything even remotely like a severe "leftist" bias. In fact, this thread has shown multiple analyses that show PBS and NPR to be fair and balanced. Just because they don't wank DJT's schlong 24x7 the way YOUR media does, doesn't mean they have a leftist bias.

I remember seeing a PBS production about writing the Constitution in 1999. It said that Republicans held out for a 'hard-charging impeachment clause'.

I love how conservatives are so f-d up, that you think reporting the facts is skewed and biased.

If the truth makes you think it's biased to the left, you really need to get your head out of your RWNJ ass.

The real inconvenient truth is that those of you crowing about this support autocracy. You don't want informed citizens. You want RWNJ lies and propaganda. You are ruining this country.

They can't see this. They believe Trump is making things better. Sorry, we won't great again anytime soon.

They don't think like great Americans anymore. I guess this country always had the sludge population

Get over your self-righteous virtue signaling. You know that “truth” is not exclusive to progressive propaganda right? WSJ, financial times, the Economist are factual media publications that do a much better job reporting “news” than NPRs so called reporting on progressive and biased human interest stories.

You’re just as brainwashed as the RWNJs that you lambast, just in the other direction. You lost critical thinking ability ; it’s easier to ad hominem attack people with a different position as RWNJ than consider that your team has misstepped. Sad.
