"True, they'll continue and survive, but that 15% goes to serve underserved communities who rely on it, not PBS Corporate, so all they're doing is hurting marginalized and vulnerable communities. Many rural or small stations don’t have the underwriting or donors like big cities do, that means it'll be harder for them to specifically stay open. They're attacking communities via PBS, not the other way around."

#MollyOfDenali and #NatureCat are some QUALITY television shows!!! I always learn something new (well, more from Molly).

#NoCutsToPublicBroadcasting! #BigUglyBill #PublicBroadcasting #EducationalTelevision

The #Grifters running #Amerikkka are calling public media a grift! Probably because they embrace DEI and aren't afraid to criticize the #Fascist administration! This will not only cripple or destroy #PublicTelevision stations, #CommunityRadio also receives money from the #CPB!!!

White House calls #NPR and #PBS a “grift,” will ask Congress to rescind funding

By Jon Brodkin, April 15, 2025

Excerpt: "In a statement provided to Ars today, PBS CEO Paula Kerger said that 'the effort underway to get Congress to rescind public media funding would disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people. There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress... Without PBS member stations, Americans will lose unique local programming and emergency services in times of crisis.' "
