[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we all need to support the concept and implementation of a NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO.

It's true that I don't listen to them as much since they've traveled into DEI territory much of the time, with (ironically!), very little diversity of arguments.

But it's important we keep a free and nationally available radio news source! For the good of the public.

why is it important in 2024? Just a few years ago I would have agreed with you but now meh I can let it go. Plenty of other free media and also NPR doesn’t really represent the public but just a liberal viewpoint. And I am a liberal.

I am also now ok with ending support for public tv. I think it was valuable for a long time but now there is enough free media and ability to access it.[/quote]

Large swaths of the country would have no decent local journalism if it weren’t for public media.[/quote]

That sounds like a fundraising point vs actual experience of the “large swaths” of the country. And what defines “decent local journalism” ? I have read small town papers and while it might not be NYT level doesn’t mean it’s not decent [/quote]
