Say goodbye to PBS and NPR

S

>>213294103 (OP)
Its hilarious how npr kept shifting to the right and lost all credibility to try and get republicans to back off and they still defunded it. Just goes to show there's no reason to try and placate these people

>>213294103 (OP)
Losing PBS is an actual tragedy

>NPR ever had credibility

>>213294103 (OP)
>NPR and PBS have for the last 30 years claimed that they aren't REALLY government funded because the Bill Gates and Rockefeller foundations give them 99% of their money
>Trump turns off their government funding for a year
>turns out they really needed that last 1%

Really makes you wonder what other bold face lies they've been telling.

>>213294343
should've donated more.

>>213294103 (OP)
So like, what is the plan with whatever funds are now not in use that were previously allocated to those things?

>>213294303
>npr kept shifting to the right
Pffffft lolol. Come on bro.

>>213294373
I get it all

>>213294397
Aww man, lucky!

>>213294373
>So like, what is the plan with whatever funds are now not in use that were previously allocated to those things?

The USA budget is not balanced. We spend more than we take in with taxes. Therefore it was all debt spending anyway.

So what happens to the money? The US debt is slightly less now.

>>213294381
like you ever listened to NPR.

I'd wager the US government pours more money into private media inadvertently with the intelligence agencies. What's even the point of public media at that point? They just propagandize with CNN. It's on at all major airports.

>>213294459
Trump spends like a drunken sailor. He's building Melania a guilded ballroom in the white house just to shut her up.

>>213294530
The USAID stories were all lies and propaganda. NPR told me so.

>>213294459
>The US debt is slightly less now.

A drop in the bucket when Trump just exploded the deficit

>>213294373
We save a little bit of money and pay down the debt.

>>213294343
Agree. PBS was quality.
Elmo shouldn't have pulled a Mel Gibson or he'd still have his funding.

Nobody should be forced to pay for political propaganda, to the tune of $1 billion per year.

You sweet summer child.

He also had a huge military parade to celebrate his birthday like some soviet dictator

Whoever was handling the Elmo Xitter account before the crack was either too stupid to change the password or just made a shit password. Fucking idiot.

GOOD
RIDDANCE

FUCK GOVT EMPLOYEES AND ANY CORP THAT TAKES GOVT FUNDS

WORK LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE

I wonder what happens to the rights to Sesame Street
I vaguely remember Jim Henson made it so disney could never get their hands on it after the muppets

>>213294344

NPR used to be better, before 2016. and PBS would still be around if they hadn't gone mental.

>>213294303
NPR has never once catered to rightoids lmao what are you taking about

>>213294303
>the "unbiased" news agency kept shifting position to get more funding
Interesting admission.

You're being very generous. All I've heard from NPR since the mid 2000s was far left circlejerking couched in hushed tones with classical music sounding jingles between segments so viewers can huff their own farts and think about how enlightened they are for listening to NPR
>PBS would still be around if they hadn't gone mental.
They were becoming irrelevant before they lost their minds. States and school boards would slowly stop needing them since they can just prop up a camera and stream their legislative or school board sessions on some streaming service. As for the shows, the documentaries have been supplanted by on demand services or sites, and the kids shows have been replaced by YouTube whether the brainrot kind or decent kind
>>213296213
It's the leftoid persecution fetish. Those people claim BBC is center right and reddit is far right.

You may be right, I only ever heard Morning Edition.

>>213297172
kys faggot

journalist should be eradicated

PBS is not shutting down. only like 15% of their funding comes from the gov

but fucking reddit and the cocksuckers in the media will tell you trump shut down elmo

i dont even fucking like trump. but i am so sick of people falling for every headline bullshit

>>213297493
Yesterday I read an article linked on Drudge titled something like "Drumpf is paying millions of employees not to work" and it admits that almost everyone Trump supposedly fired actually took buyouts. Then the article laments that no one is reporting on this.

I've been saying it since February. Because it was true in February when he did it. The media isn't reporting on it because they are too busy lying that he fired half the national park rangers.

>>213295396
They go to HBO. Probably.

>>213294103 (OP)
The government funding amounts to only 15% of their total income. If they collapse because of a 15% drop in annual income, there was something a lot more wrong behind the scenes and it deserves to shut down.

>>213294373
Tax cuts to people making over 250,000 partially. The deficit looks like it will hit 2.3' trillion as of today. The government is now taking numbers and independent agencies are correcting numbers.

>>213297912
For foreigners the federal government keeps getting caught lying about numbers. The job report. Stock market and GSP were fucked up. As right now even including tarriff money it looks to be 2.3 trillion as a deficit not 1.9

>>213294459
Meanwhile the budget tacks on 2 trillion of new debt a year to fund tax cuts for billionaries and corporations kek.

>>213294103 (OP)
>who benefits from this?
Sinclair Broadcasting.

>>213297977
It looks like 2.3. the 1.9 is not correct. They fudged a bunch of numbers today it kind of came to light. They were giving out bad forecast and numbers. The GDP, deficit, jobs and growth numbers are not correct

>>213294103 (OP)
That's the real Elmo

>>213298215
bro here >>213298260 will figure out a way to absolve Trump for pardoning her lol

>>213294696
If you were to make a guess, just based off a hunch, would you say that US government budget deficit will be higher or lower in 2025 than it was in 2024?

>>213298260
Libertarians hate it too so kys

>>213298324
Yeah. It's his base needs to be told that. Republicans are older voters typically boomers who rely on federal money. When the pendulum swings back or he dies, they'll understand why social security will be nuked. Genx doesn't care enough to put iona politician worth a shit and older millennial or younger exers are taking over. Vance and aoc are the harbingers.
This is a conflict of the haves and their idiot followers and the have nots not democrat or Republican
I'm actually conservative

Fuck NPR and WNYC. Those fucks removed Jonathan Schwartz and his goated Jazz Standards Hour back in 2017. Never listened to them after.

make your own federal funding, chuds

I'm sure most people here grew up on PBS since it goes back about 54 years. Sad to see it go

>>213296365
It was brought to us by Coinbase.

Sesame Street is literally one of the highest grossing media franchises in the world. It makes billions of dollars. Just use some of that to fund the network.

>>213294530
>What's even the point of public media at that point?
Because it doesn't have to worry about being commercially viable, so it could play all kinds of weird shit.
In the town I grew up in our local station used to play red dwarf and the red green show at completely random times, so you'd be flipping through the channels, and you'd catch some random episode of two genuinely hilarious and soulful comedy shows that I, as an american, would have probably never had any access to otherwise.
