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.
Won’t matter, they’ll just have the FCC revoke the broadcast licenses after a while.
In all sincerity, please, the doomerism is unproductive. Especially in direct response to someone trying to help fund a public institution that’s losing funding. If you’re feeling despair from the horrors (which, understandable) it’s important to do what you can to get support from your friends and community. Trying to convince other people to not resist by saying it’s worthless is the worst thing to do right now.
Way to contribute productive discourse to the comment actually doing something and proving they put their money where their mouth is.
Gotta love how easy it is to do this while it’s so fucking hard to preserve integrity…and there is very much a fuck you in there as it needs to be…
