Donald Trump signed another Executive Order prohibiting tax money going for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System. As someone in the business and a taxpayer: thank God!
Both organizations are not subject to ratings, finding sponsors or providing content people want to enjoy. Both organizations are very left of center.
Show us anywhere in the US Constitution where it says the state has to provide any entertainment!? We’ll wait. But like most government programs, NPR and PBS has outlived its usefulness decades ago. We went from three channels to numerous channels on broadcast television alone. With cable television we have literally hundreds of channels. And with smart tv and streaming services, we literally have thousands of channels to choose from. I have a Amazon fire stick and I still don’t have know the exact number of channels I have to watch!
As for radio, we have live streaming all over the country. Sunday Scoop listens to WABC in New York through his television! Most of our listeners come from our livestream, not from our affiliates! And those who miss the show can listen free of charge on YouTube and podcasting services!
As for content, all liberal content. I remember living overseas and in the middle of the day there was an hour of NPR on American Forces Network (AFN). The most liberal garbage I ever heard. And USAA underwritten that hour! And critics say that’s the end of Sesame Street. Well, Sesame Street went to HBO! And that was liberal propaganda! You might as well call Democracy Now Daily Worker tv!
And PBS was very slick in terms of fundraising! They would broadcast programming that people would want to watch in the middle of a fundraising drive. Every time there was a concert some music special. They would have a boatload of interruptions for fundraising! So dummies would give some money for more rock concerts and the next week; boring crap!
Here’s a clip from WTTG, Fox 5 DC about the defunding of NPR and PBS! No bias here!
