They make it sound lowly at $1.35 per American. But how many actually pay taxes?
How about cutting out welfare benefits for illegals. Can there be anything else so worthless in the budget?
Bert & Ernie were courageous kids’ television pioneers; I knew the show was screwed when a nephew told me “Cookie Monster” had been changed to “Veggie Monster” to stop kids from getting fat. Cookie Monster was the best, with those goofy eyes always looking in two different directions...
Perhaps this a matter between Mizz Schiller and her psychologist. To us, this makes perfect sense.
I listened to a broadcaster once who in his career did a stint on an NPR affiliate. He said they had the finest equipment that money could buy, and it was replaced every couple of years- as opposed to the privately-owned station he was now at, which had to keep ancient electronic gear running. He left NPR because of the blatant liberal bias.
Um, what federal funding? I thought it was 99.9999999999% supported by “viewers like you” and all that garbage. Funny how quickly they switch from nonchalance to waving the bloody shirt.
Then make up the rest with the rich lib hollywood crowd. Just the cocaine budget alone should about cover it.
Either way, it works for me.
Now there's and idea that I love. But the question is this: What part of NPR does the government really own?
If the CPB is funded partly by the Federal Government, then who, besides the contributors/ "members" funds the rest? Who "owns" all of the capital equipment and the FCC licences?
first the GOP will have to do more than talk about defunding them...I’ve seen this bandied about since Reagan
i hope this time is different
>>>how is stellar radio out of range...i saw sat tv on inuit homes above the brooks range<<<
I live just south of the Brooks Range. Yes, we have satellite television, too, although we only “see” one of the two satellites that Dish has to offer. Sirius radio must be on a satellite below the horizon. In any case, we don’t have it yet, and even when we do get it, I am guessing that it won’t have local weather and high school basketball games on it.
Too bad our little radio station hitched itself to National People’s Radio. A poor decision, which they will pay for with their lives.
