President Donald Trump’s newly appointed chairman of the Federal Communications Commission has ordered an investigation into NPR and PBS over their alleged “airing of commercials.”

The difference between ad and sponsorship copy is the messaging on NPR/PBS stops short of a CTA aside from pointing to url occasionally to learn more info about the sponsor. You’d think the new head of the FCC would understand the basic concepts and differences of mass messaging methods?
This is how it starts in controlling what we have access to because they want to make sure we only get their message and not anything that would go against their lies!
So this roughly the federal spending.
NPR -1% of a $300m budget ($3m)
PBS - 16% of a $375m budget ($60m)
Member Stations - 10% of a $535m budget ($53.5m)
Less than $120m.
I'd say "the people," and the companies that support "the people" can cover that difference.
Bring it Carr. You'll lose.
"It's a Republic, Ma'am, if you can keep it."
We have worked hard for 250 years to make our nation achieve the principles Our Founders laid down for their future generations.
And now, we have a petty tyrant, trump, and his unelected henchmen working to DESTROY it in 2 weeks.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!

Right my husband is convinced that if this gets any worse that jail time is eminent for all of them once this is over. Yeah if them dems have the back bone to do anything about it. After J6 he should’ve been banned from ever running again.
PBS is pretty much all I watch these days. Reality TV drove me away from large broadcasters. And PBS has the only decent shows left. I suspect they are far to much for the T creature to understand.
Don't commercials help pay the bills. Goodness knows that the felon doesn't want to pay anybody. We can help keep America safe from trump by contacting our elected politicians and telling them they will not be re-elected if they don't stop trump. He needs to be impeached and removed from office.
He's either talking about the sponsorships that are listed at the end of the program (nothing is being sold) or he's talking about the free gift when you become a member. The latter is no different than the televangelist who sends you a coffee mug when you donate $100, while remaining tax exempt.
Shid since he’s handing out jobs like hot cakes I’m about to go and apply to be the speaker of the house 👩🏾💼😂. I’ll just tell him that the current speaker of the house hates his socks 🧦 and how he combs his hair. That’ll do it

🤔hhhmmm I don’t remember AtAnyTime that either, PBS or NPR, EVER HAVING to settle out of court😐AnySumsOf$$$$ to SettleLawSuits! 😏But FOX? Aaahh💁🏼♀️Yup! LotsOf$$$!😵💫and I mean LooooootsOf$$$$! GoFigure!👉🏼47Appoints aHenchman2Go After PubliclyFundedMedia & HeSays “🤪YesSIR, Sir!”
If they are investigating NPR or PBS they also need to investigate non profits and “religious organizations” many sell items through YTUBE and other social media sites. Many have admin budgets far exceeding the program budgets that do public good. Many do not pay tax on property owned.
Absolutely, if a Televangelist writes a book and you purchase it through a brick and mortar or online bookstore, you pay tax. However, if you notice the evangelist will give it as a "Free Gift" if you make a "Love offering" of $250.00. He gets more money and its tax exempt.
