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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!
