Members of the US House of Representatives voted to take back funding from NPR and PBS.

The vote was 214-212 along party lines. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it must be passed by mid-july if the cuts are to go into effect. https://bit.ly/3SOO3y1 #NPR #PBS #News

It includes rescinding nearly $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. About two-thirds of the money gets distributed to more than 1,500 locally owned public radio and television stations.

@gbhnews This is what you get for giving assholes like David Brooks a permanent seat at the NPR and PBS news tables. You've normalized the hatred Republicans have for most of this country. You reap what you sow.

It was PBS where I first saw the video of California Senator Padilla getting forcibly tossed out of a fascist bleating, so I can see why their funding is being held back.
