Quite seriously, I know about classic literature because of Wishbone. I learned how to do percentages from Wishbone. I know about other countries because of Carmen San Diego. I try to embody Mr Rogers when I have rage and Reading Rainbow is why I'm nearly 40 and still read actual books. #savepbs
"Shortly after coming to power in 1933, the Nazis launched an assault on the independent trade union movement, dissolving unions, seizing union funds, and beating, imprisoning, and murdering union leaders."
AND there is nuance to this. NPR has used damming language in their coverage of the genocide in Gaza, still. Willing it a “conflict.” Still saying it’s a “war.” Still having Israelis on their shows talking focusing October 7th. It’s unsettling. NPRs neutrality makes them complicit.
The crisis of 2008 left many new parents without stable housing or higher education under Republican Presidents. By 2016 and 2024, many turned to Trump. Their kids growing up under Democratic Presidents, were more likely to pursue college - leading a generational shift towards Democratic voting.
On May 1, 1969, Fred Rogers, host of children's television series, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood testified before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Communications to defend $20 million in federal funding for the new non-profit Corporation for Public Broadcasting 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱 @pbs.org
You might as well. They’ve sold out as badly as the rest of the MSM. Such a major disappointment. Can’t even call a genocide when the children are exploding in front of their nasty mofo sell out faces.
The destruction of art and culture is a necessity for fascism to thrive. The state must be our muse reasons the fascist, art encourages free expression and critical thought.
I agree completely but I fear NPR and PBS are already part of the problem. Mofos couldn’t even call it genocide when they had footage of children exploding in front of their faces. Their job was to tell Americans about the slaughter they are funding. F them.
If only media actually repeatedly reported what Project 2025/ Agenda 47 parallels instead of repeatedly reporting that he said he didn't know anything about Project 2025.
They might as well defund them. They’ve sold out as badly as the rest of the MSM. Such a major disappointment. Can’t even call a genocide when the children are exploding in front of their nasty mofo sell out faces.
NPR has for decades promoted racist and alarmist stories - such as reporting to readers that they should be concerned about incredibly frivolous issues. For example, the numerous stories reporting that “Oh no! There are more Muslims in the global population than there are Christians!”
What if, instead of this constant rollercoaster of funding, then threats to withhold funding, the federal government let the Corporation for Public Broadcasting figure out how to make up that 1/10 of 1% of funds?
Imagine: No more NPR/PBS for MAGAs to kick around!
PBS and NPR uses 0.01% of the federal budget! That amount of money is considered a rounding error, not even worth the time to see where the money went or what was actually bought!
Federal funding provides only a fraction of their operating expenses. While some federal funding pays for show production, most of the funding pays for the media storage and transmission infrastructure, including support for the systems that run amber alerts.
Thank you! I grew up on Mr Rogers and Sesame Street and later on nature and history programs on PBS.
THE RIGHT DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BELIEVE IN EQUALITY OR HUMAN RIGHTS OR TO KNOW HISTORY OR SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE NATURAL WORLD THEY ARE DESTROYING!!! This is why they are attacking PBS and NPR.
PSYCHOPATH Trump (KGB codename since 1987: Krasnov) has been PSYCHOPATH Putin’s bootlicker for decades.
Trapped w/in the behavior patterns of their disorder, WORLD DOMINATION/ENSLAVEMENT is the agenda as RUSSIA’S Republicans—also cultivated over decades—destroy America/Americans to pave the way.
PSYCHOPATHS Putin’s/Trump’s/Eloon’s MAGAs are a redux of PSYCHOPATH Hitler’s Nazis = psychopaths (1 in 25 persons in the general population) & their psychotic human pets.
History’s confirmed that these stupid, fragile, gaslighting, SADISTIC PERVERTS will grow HORRIFICALLY worse until stopped.

That's where we are as a country.
Good job America!

NPR CEO Katherine Maher apologized at a congressional hearing Wed. over past statements calling Trump a “fascist” and “deranged racist sociopath.”
The NPR chief also admitted they made mistakes in its coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story and the origins of COVID-19.
