I wrote a check to NPR and PBS when this happened. NPR will survive as it gets very little money from the federal government. But PBS, I don't know. I don't want to listen to propaganda, so I will keep supporting PBS and NPR, and urge everyone I know, GOP or Dem, to support them, and keep them alive.

Please post where any of their “reporting” has been balanced. (hint: you can’t. It’s all propaganda and spin. All of it).

In Florida, my local station creates shows about the history of our state that no commercial station would ever touch because there is no profit in it. But, PBS does it because there is education value. And for many of us our first experience with PBS was education. As a child of the 60’s I remember a PBS show shown in school with Dorothy Glasgow (sp?) teaching Spanish.

Find another cause to support. There is absolutely no need for PBS or NPR.

There are a zillion cable networks. If a program is any good, one of them will pick it up. No need for taxpayers to fund shows nobody wants to see.

Nielsen data reveals that CNN’s primetime lineup (8–11 p.m.) averaged a mere 497,000 total viewers, a catastrophic 42% drop from July 2024. The figures mark a steep decline for the network, which trailed far behind competitors MSNBC and Fox News, despite a news cycle packed with major political developments and global crises."
