And the public that doesn't want to pay for it be damned I guess. Typical Liberal/RINO B.S.
Big Bird is a bipartisan mascot for all that’s wrong with Washington.
“Cole particularly enjoys listening to NPR’s Morning Edition. ‘With public radio I can wake up without someone shouting at me,’ he noted.”
Brainwashing is usually a quiet, peaceful experience, Sir!
The GOP is the opposition party.
Cut one penny at a time and 100 times you’ve saved a dollar. Public broadcasting has long since outlived it’s need for government funding. Let Big Bird fund it.
Why the taxpayer have to pay if it has such a strong constituency.Mr. Cole?
Let them pay for it, not us.
We have been paying for the last 80 years for a negative return.
I don’t want my tax money paying for liberal propaganda.
Oh, is THAT all ...
I'll tell you what. You drop $741 million on the floor and I'll pick it up. Even in San Francisco.
What a bunch of wusses
It seems that there are no assholes like a republican asshole! What a bunch of scumbags! Hey, but keep voting for the ass with the R after his name! There are NO political traitors like an elected republican!
“NPR content “is informative and fair,” Cole said. “I know some people disagree but if they’d listen to the content they’d likely come to another opinion.”
If this is what Clown Cole believes, then he is either on drugs and should be tested or a propagandist for the Socialist-Democrat party.
Hey Cole, pull your head out. We’ll give you a do-over.
That answer was cr_p.
More about GOPe/RINO Cole;
Cole spent two years working as a paid consultant for the United States Chamber of Commerce, but his primary involvement in politics was as a political consultant for candidates. Along with partners Sharon Hargrave Caldwell and Deby Snodgrass, his firm (Cole, Hargrave, Snodgrass and Associates) played a large part in the reconstruction of Oklahoma’s political landscape, and backed a number of candidates that took office during the Republican Revolution of 1994. Among their clients have been Keating, J.C. Watts, Tom Coburn, Frank Lucas, Mary Fallin, Wes Watkins, Steve Largent, former Mississippi congressman Chip Pickering, and Hawaii governor Linda Lingle.
He graduated from Grinnell College in 1971 with a B.A. in history. His postgraduate degrees include an M.A. from Yale University (1974) and a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma (1984), both in British history. Cole’s PhD thesis was entitled Life and labor in the Isle of Dogs : the origins and evolution of an East London working-class community, 1800–1980. Cole did research abroad as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow and was a Fulbright Fellow (1977–78) at the University of London. He was a college professor in history and politics before becoming a politician.
“We can’t balance a budget by going after relatively small items,”
Well you have to start somewhere.
Cowards of the Congress, the GOPe!
No one claims you can, however every little bit helps. Furthermore, nearly 100% of this money goes to democrats, who will in turn support your own opponents. You can cut this money out of the budget with no damage to republicans.
“With public radio I can wake up without someone shouting at me,” he noted.
That's worth 700 million?
“NPR content “is informative and fair,” Cole said. “I know some people disagree but if they’d listen to the content they’d likely come to another opinion.”
Then they will be successful on their own.
We taxpayers paid for PBS’ Boobahs. Nuf said:
