    This is the reason I’ve added my NPR stations to my donations list. Fuck the republican traitor filth. Now and forever, every republican can fuck off and die.

      Same, NPR, PBS and ProPublica I don’t want to lose sources that still do real journalism.

      I added NPR and PBS to my monthly donation list as well. I wonder how many others will contribute what they can now thanks to this investigation?

    They’ve been going after public media since Nixon. Of course, it would hit their key demographic–rural areas–the hardest, who rely on public media for things like emergency alerts. Not to mention public media is the only source of local quality journalism for a lot of places.

    But who cares about all that when we can let Sinclair Broadcasting take over and get rid of all that “woke” stuff?

      Probably would have been yesterday if an opportunity to blame over 60 deaths on people not being white males didn’t appear.

    Last I checked, they both get less than 10% of their funding from the government, and that amount is less than 0.5% of our military budget.

    I’m not surprised by this, but it needs to be said: They need an efficiency checker for their efficiency checkers. In and of itself, trying to defund NPR and PBS is just wasting money and time on virtue signalling, or the right’s equivalent. So doge is off to a great start, lol.

          If people like them so much, then won’t be much of an ask to ask them to donate 10 percent more than they do now.

          Plus they won’t have to worry about the big bad Republicans ever again.
