“The idea for PBS/NPR came out of a time when there were three broadcast networks and no cable; there are now hundreds of channels”

My problem with NPR being a taxpayer funded “news” outfit is that it has always failed to be respectful of all citizens and instead had an obvious poltical bias and an ambition to show it. Political neutrality needed to be hard coded into its legal formation.

That’s just one of many ‘issues’ that never get fixed because they wouldn’t have anything to run on.

If Dem & Rep politicians came through on every campaign promise they made, what would we need them for?..........

“It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.”
― George Orwell, 1984

I demand as a conservative tax payer that PBS be de funded and sold and payment be used to go directly to pay down the debt. Or let Tucker Carlson get 50% air time to offer the truth.

Defunding National Endowment for the Arts (and/or other similar funders of filth and promoters of perversion) was attempted by George W. Bush (IIRC).
He was called names and ridiculed by the usual suspects. And then the Pubbies shrugged their shoulders and said, “meh, forget it”.

“I demand as a conservative tax payer that PBS be de funded and sold and payment be used to go directly to pay down the debt.”

I would demand a name change - to TLPR - the Leftists Public Radio, then totally lose all taxpayer funding.

That would be better than “Conservatives” getting control of it and turning it into a clone of NewsMax/Fox.

So, they only want to use it for raising next election’s campaign donations, not for really doing something about it???

It has always been amusing (hilarious, disgusting) that NPR, Public TV, Public Radio describe themselves as “Nonprofit.” At the beginning of every show, they announce how proud they are to receive ‘support from’ as they list all their ‘supporters.’ This is just like commercial television advertising. “We would like to thank our generous supporters: Pepsi-Cola Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Nike.” They might as well thank the Uighurs under slave labor, in prison camps, making basketball and football gear.

NPR should be defunded and then banned.

They are raw evil.

Look at her CV. She’s been properly indoctrinated and placed in various positions for specific reasons. The left calls them “useful idiots”. Not burdened with critical thinking skills, analytical thought skills, not much in the way of common sense, and has spent her life in the echo chamber of the left.
