The GOP is racing to meet a Friday deadline mandated by law for the bill, known as a rescissions package, to pass Congress, otherwise the Trump administration will be forced to spend the money. The House of Representatives approved the legislation last month by a narrow majority. The package will cancel $1.1bn budgeted for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, and about $8bn meant for foreign assistance programs. Rest of the article is behind the 'protestors'...
Is is not PUBLIC broadcasting, it is only for the LEFT, so don't waste any of my tax$$$$$$
ReplyDeletePublic broadcasting, my hairy ass! taxpayer funded mouthpiece for the left! They should be cut off completely! And until the US can get it's shit together, ALL foreign aid (Democrat kickbacks) should be cancelled...
ReplyDelete9 billion? Call me when you're REALLY making cuts. What's that...an hour of government spending? Or 10 minutes?
ReplyDeleteI used to listen to NPR while commuting for work. Even as a Democrat, the constant anti-Trump was nauseating. I finally gave up and started listening to KFI-640. Pull the plug on PBS/NPR. They are lunatics.
ReplyDeleteShould have been put as part of cable packages 40 years ago.

Sell PBS/NPR to the DNC for $1.00 and let them take over the funding of the payroll, along with general and administrative expenses. PBS/NPR is not a "Public" entity, it is the voice of the Democratic Party and their LGBTQ+ audience. Taxpayers should not be obliged to provide operating expense money to any organization that is as biased as PBS/NPR.
