The White House is planning to ask Congress to claw back more than $1 billion slated for public broadcasting in the United States, according to two people briefed on the plan, a move that could ultimately eliminate almost all federal support for NPR and PBS.
When you find yourself on the other side from Big Bird, Mr. Rogers, and Captain America, you need to do some serious reevaluation.
With the news of younger generations (around the world even) aligning themselves with right wing thinking, I wouldn’t be surprised if these icons aren’t all labeled as some kind of wimps. To be dunked on all day without really knowing what they’re talking about let alone a solution for the things these programs tackled. And, they’re letting the worst people destroy it all (some of them are literal rapists)!
Wasn’t Mr. Roger’s a green beret in Vietnam though? Wouldn’t these people idolize that aspect of him?
Apparently that’s a debunked myth. Besides, he was born in 1928 which would have made him old for that war.
None of these things would matter though. A common thread simply seems to be a hatred toward empathy and those who espouse it. These were kind people and worthy causes. Primed to be destroy by these goons.
Oh gotcha! Your comment made me realize I had Mr. Roger’s confused with Bob Ross anyway, and was still wrong 😅. Thanks for clearing it up!
He registered for the draft just after WW2, then after a physical was deemed unqualified for service. He graduated college a few years later.
From the start of Vietnam to the end, he was working on a children’s show in Pittsburgh, making a show up in Canada that was the precursor to mister Rogers neighborhood, then from 1968 for the next 33 years he was in/running mists Rogers neighborhood.
…he did emerge victorious from the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, though…

A reminder that Fox News was/is actively against Mister Rogers and everything he stood for.

Well some of their Cult Members think Jesus was “woke.” I’m not kidding.

I mean, he probably was if we go by what he supposedly stood for. But actually tending to that dichotomy with their shitty world view tends to break their brains.
When will people learn that they don’t care and have no shame.
Bet we hear not a single peep from the “ Don’t cancel my Dr Seuss books” crowd.
Oh they’re very happy with where they stand.
They want future generations of peasants illiterate, and ignorant.
