The (D) gave a shite about $400 toilet seats on C-130s when Reagan was president, but don't give a shite about billions. That tracks.

I remember that, as well as progfilth that are not on this board saying it. They basically said "we don't need no stinking DJT dollars. We are loved and the floodgates of cash will open."
Their listeners said...

I remember as a kid watching nature shows and the like on PBS and as I got older I liked Austin City Limits and some other content but over the past 20-25 years, not so much, rarely watch PBS anymore.

It’s almost like Trump won again.

I don’t know what you call it but I used to love NPR. Now I can’t sit through more than a couple of minutes without shaking my head.
NPR always had a left lean, but now it’s downright seditious. There was at least a mild attempt to be nonpartial. Now, not so much.

NOVA is still there... PBS and NPR are still there... The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was just a government-funded agency that channeled some funding to PBS, NPR, and their member stations around the country, as well as helping to fund some shows.
WIthout it, some small NPR or PBS stations around the country who did not get much fnding from anyplace else might have had to shut down, or cut costs, but most will just work to replace that CPB funding in some other way.
WGBH in Boston, which produces NOVA, is very well-funded by the state of Massachusetts and by tons of Corporate funding and grants from big trusts and charitable organizations. NOVA itself is very well-funded, and also has dedicated channels on YouTube for older episodes, and on streaming services like Amazon Prime. If WGBH had to shut down (incredibly unlikely) NOVA by itself would live on through web streaming. The sdame is true of all the other big PBS shows (Sesame Street started airing its episodes other places a few days they hit PBS a while ago, which gives them more money... I think it was HBO, and it might've recently moved to Apple+TV).
Every single PBS and NPR station or state-wide network around that country is like that... funding comes from several different sources, and from viewers who pledge money to keep things going.
Ironically, by killing the CPB, Trump has freed NPR and PBS from Federal Government interference... it doesn't matter what he thinks, anymore, he's done all he can to them by defunding the only part that was funded by the Federal Government.
Speaking of which, since any files relating to January 6 are being erased from official government places, NPR has set up an archive to preserve all of it.

It is no longer funded in any part by the government, so it is not "seditious." It's free to say whatever it wants, like FoxNews, etc., are...

True! This was a long time defense, and it obscured the fact that the “customers” paying for the content were also funded by the federal government. When that money was added in it showed a picture that was a scam almost completely government funded.

EDIT: Piss-ants put behind their paywall. I noticed when posting the link on another forum.
variety.com (PAYWALL) with good coverage ...
Bump... Thanks OP... wish this hadn't disappeared off the front page so quickly.
PS - Never believe a liberal when their mouth is moving. I've been told all my adult life, 'taxpay dollars only fund a small amount of their budget'

That wasn't limited to this board. CPB long argued that public support was only a minor part of their budget and why they should keep their funding. Looks like that was fake news.
