Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This isn't just one man demanding something be done and it happens .... he isn't some God or all powerful being that snaps his fingers
It's happening because an entire community of professionals, politicians, leaders, organizers and supporters all want it to happen.
Bingo. Trump is a symptom. You think these are all his ideas? Nah. He didn't write Project2025.
Turns out the “deep state” is real, but it purposefully worked to make sure the fingers were pointed in the wrong direction
Exactly. Dementia donnie didn't build any of this. He just waltzed in and slapped his name on the place. The qons have been furiously working a certain kind of person into a froth over things like PBS and NPR for decades.
America's Mad King destroys more things he's too stupid and psychopathic to understand.
This is red meat for the low-brow morons that have been GRRR, MAD about Nice Polite Republicans and the Petroleum Broadcast System ever since I can remember.
They don't actually watch or listen to either, but they sure are mad as hell about it because they have been told to be mad about it.
Someone dig up Mr Rogers to remind Congress to do the right thing.
Fox News has already instructed them that Mr. Rogers is gay communist propaganda.
It's too fucking late.
Yes, that's the digging part. Get your shovel because... He ded.
I think it would be easier just to play the video from the first time....
Nooooo some of my favorite science education channels are PBS 😭
NOVA! D:
Can’t have you being educated now can we?
wanna bet they will subsidize FOX, OAN, NEWSMAX, BREIBART instead.
Makes sense considering both NPR and PBS are reputable news sources that report fairly and do good journalism. IE, they tell the truth and can’t be paid off. Exactly what Trump hates.
Makes sense. Magats are so low IQ they cannot in fact read
I mean, centuries of dedicated inbreding leave a mark.
Wasn't there some discussions earlier about the fact that government funding was less than 1% of what's needed to run NPR ?
They've been so starved for funding for decades now, that most of NPR's funding is from listener contributions. PBS as well, but I think to a slightly lesser degree.
Nah they get more than that, it's like 40-70% but it filters through individual member stations. This cut will be felt. Even the shift in his first term towards more corporate donations to stay afloat hurt them, badly.
Not sure about those numbers: https://www.npr.org/about-npr/178660742/public-radio-finances
You know what, you're right. Numbers have shifted since I last checked this, there's more funding from members than before 2020. The (now 30%) station contribution has less federal dollars in it checking the larger station revenue reports. It's probably around 15% without spreadsheeting it, I didn't check PBS.
Once the dust settles after the oroborus system of ours dies, may infinite worlds blossom in the cracked pavement the old world left behind.
I'm not surprised. I'm disappointed, but not surprised
I'm surprised it took this long.
He's asking now?
Some Trump crony sent them a letter saying they could no longer criticize trump in any way and must praise trump at the start of each show and they said, uh, no fuck off. So they are cutting all their funds. This is just a guess.
