Pour one out for NPR and PBS thread

“Those dirty, disgusting Chinese people and their filthy wet markets caused grandma to die” is a personal favorite Democrat xenophobic moment in time.
About as culturally racist as it gets, yet Trump wanting to block flights was just way too much.

Virus?? What virus I thought it was fake like the Epstein list???

Buck must be a big NPR consumer. All the Fake News That's Fit to Broadcast. Geezus.

In all my life….did I not hear NPR push a narrative one way. They just didn’t lean hard right like the news sources you guys wanna hear.

No wonder he's as dumb and clueless as the proverbial stone! He listens to NPR, National Proletariat Radio, and watches PBS. Proletariat Broadcasting System.

Exactly. When I say leftards are intellectually incurious, this would be Exhibit 1 out of thousands and thousands.
-
“Baseless” was a big buzz word in 2020-2021. Anything called baseless by the media was usually true.

Mostly peaceful says 'hold my beer'.

"Safe and effective" would like a word.
-
It's not over for 'many fine people'.

’Two weeks to slow the spread…’
-
"51 intelligence experts say…"

You can use the same bottle to pour one out for CNN and MSLSD. When your mission statement is destroy conservatives and classic liberals at any cost, then you need to be prepared to pay the cost for destroying your product.

Doesn’t matter what the politics are, even though they are obviously heavily-slanted toward Democrats. These two companies compete for market shares with companies that don’t get the same funding, so it’s an easy one for me to say I don’t want to pay for them at any level.

In a sane world that would be true. But dems and RINOs will fund leftard public broadcasting as long as it promotes dems. The Senate voted 50-50 to defund with Vance breaking the tie. If public broadcasting was Rush Limbaugh the vote would have been 70-30 at least to defund.

No man. Colds are a real thing. People even die from them.

I listened to NPR occasionally in 2018 and 2019. It was center left but not bad. Sometime since then, it turned into woke nonsense such as, "The Southeast Asian Trans Alliance is helping out parapalegic monkeys and they need your help." They'd literally do a 20 minute story on that shit. Uhh no, I'm not going to listen to you.

The Throbber will miss NPRs holiday celebrations.
But not their pravda like bullshit.

Back in the 80's early 90's I would listen occasionally when driving through ID, MT and UT. Even then I knew it was a dem dominated broadcast.
Why would 97% of the people working at NPR and PBS vote democrat? They are hired by other liberals who want to keep NPR and PBS liberal and they have no room for a divergence of opinion. THEY ONLY HIRE LIBERALS WHO WRITE AND BROADCAST LIBERAL THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I hear a person claim that npr and pbs are neutral I know one of two realities: They are either ignorant of reality, or they are lying.
The leadership of npr and pbs have spent the last year trying to tell us only 1% of their budget is Federal funding. Now that it is done, we are hearing the wailing from both organizations. In typical liberal fashion we are being treated to the same old bullshit: Middle America isn't going to get storm alerts (as if everyone didn't have television, internet and cell phones), and kids aren't going to get Sesame Street, blah blah blah
The irony here is, all they had to do was get rid of their bias as a "news organization" and they couldn't force themselves do it. Now we get bombarded by liberals telling us how this is going to cost lives and stunt mental growth in children.
Public television stations will be “forced to make hard decisions in the weeks and months ahead,” PBS CEO Paula Kerger said Thursday, after lawmakers advanced a bill that cancels all the federal funding for the network and for NPR.
Radio and TV stations may need to lay off staffers and cut back on programming. Popular shows like “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” may reach fewer people. Big Bird of “Sesame Street” fame isn’t going away, but the financial system that supported him for decades is being stripped away.

No bias!

Anyone else find it interesting that a 1% reduction in funding is "devastating"? Just last week I heard CNN commentators discuss 2%-3% tax increases on the general public as money that won't be missed.
-
I have a family member who works at a NPR station somewhere in WhOregon. "What I'm hearing:" 9 percent budget cuts.
-
Per any government agency facing budget shortfalls or cuts, the first thing they'll cut is services and goods to customers, and the last thing they'll ever cut is overhead.
-
Much like the State of Oregon when wanting to hike taxes, they trot out the alternative is always laying off teachers and cops.
-
And the proper response should be "So"?
Oregon doesn't let their police police anyway, so what the fuck difference does it make?
Not sure how Oregon is structured but the best thing that could happen to WA public schools is to have about 3 levies in a row get voted down so the fuckhead administrators could right size their bloated budgets, staff and capital projects.
