I don’t want to see NPR and “Public TV” “privitized”.

As their owners, we should merely close the doors, fire the staff and sell the assets, not together just in its various parts.

I am sure the LameStreamMedia will hire the poor dears at NPR and “Public” TV.

I would consider the de-funding of NPR and PBS to be a major victory.

If they are so wonderful, as liberals have told me, then their listeners and viewers will break the sound barrier whipping our their checkbooks to send them some cash.

Right?

Then he should say that the NPR / NEA money will be used instead as the first money for building The Wall.

PBS no longer has Sesame Street to hide behind.

Bye Bye Big Bird. A little dated but still funny.

To: Hojczyk; All
"Currently, a half-billion dollars in taxpayer money is given to National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) each year."

While I have enjoyed material put out by PBS and NPR over the years, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegaetd to the feds the specific power to tax and spend for such things.

if citizens want such broadcasting then the Constitution must be appropriately amended.

Let them have bake sales and beg-a-thons if they want to stay on the air. That pays part of their bills today, just get the liberal Democrats who listen to NPR to dig a little deeper, add another zero on that check. After all it is “for our democracy” isn’t it?

I don't know about any other than PBS...I watch that station sometimes and know that they do their OWN fundraising, so why do the American People HAVE to pay for it???

If you decide to watch it, fine, then donate if you wish, but if you don't want to, fine also, but don't be using my tax dollars to fund a station that is mostly LIBERAL with LIBERAL ideas!!!

PBS/NPR are the propaganda wing of the Commie/Crat party.
