Exactly. The left never surrenders power.
If the GOP is serious, they will force changes in NPR by defunding them completely. No urging. No demanding. No sternly written letters. Defund them 100% and then threaten to sue them if they don’t comply.
GOP Senators will vote for draconian reductions in Social Security, Medicare, and veterans benefits long before they consider cutting out PBS, NPR, or the billions doled out to left wing social justice groups and universities.
The most pushback you will ever see from a GOP politician, to the daily destruction of the nation, is a sternly worded letter.
