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. [/quote]

The CEO of pbs lives in a mansion outside Roundhill.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
They do their best. How would you go about being "neutral" when one side consists of typical politicians while the other side lies, then claims any fact checking is biased?[/quote]

Their best isn't good enough. Even former employees are down on them.[/quote]

Even current and former Fox News employees are not supporting their current pro-dictator fake news agenda.[/quote]

So is your assertion that it's okay for NPR to lie and have biased reporting since Fox does too?

Explain why its okay for taxpayer money to be used to emulate Fox. [/quote]

You are using one person's opinion to defame a whole organization, your logic is wrong. It is like some churches are covering evil things such as child sexual abuses, but nobody is tarring all the churches. Or maybe you are for taxing all churches?[/quote]
