What’s he got against big bird?

He's taller and better looking than Trump, and Melania was giving him a longing look.

I watch regularly because I'm out in the boonies, and I use an old fashioned antennae - I can't get anything but PBS and they have excellent news shows, as well as fun, and historical shows that are educational. I support, but my contribution isn't enough to make up for the wonderful programming.

I grew up on PBS children’s shows and so did my kids. Unfortunately, Trump wants to white wash history.

This is such crap and utterly uninformed.

Many in rural areas rely upon public television for emergencies.

Children learn compassion & about diversity. This isn't new. I watched Sesame Street and the Election Company in syndication. All that happened to be was I learned empathy & Spanish.

Anything not bending and providing only positive trump verbiage will be gone. Our cultural revolution will reprogram us to worship dear leader.
I don’t believe there is a majority in this country who want this christofascist doctrine. Can we get a count? It’s being rammed down our throat.

I love PBS

You could say the same about Fox News, OAN, & Newsmax. When will he take action on them? So, what if they are not federally funded!

Didn't he say that he only wanted to be a dictator for one day? It seems that we are well past the one-day mark!

People actually voted for all of this! 🙄

I'll support dumping PBS and NPR the day FOXand ONN goes off the air for good.👍

Why do all of Trump's thug lieutenants look like Nazi Generals?

Not by chance.

PBS and NPR are also privately funded. DJT tried this in his last term and failed. Aligned with "Liberal Media" made me laugh and I can guarantee DJT has never watched or listened, in fact he could even tell us what PBS means.
I pray he can't defund them.

They want to buy tiktok but NPR and PBS funding is a problem?
