@unclemark those are her quotes. On a platform already with a bias. The slant of the article is of no moment. Limit yourself to her quotes. Her words. That hire guaranteed they’d get whacked. It was a dumb hire. You think she’s going to be objective or targeted with that history
None of that matters. Defunding PBS and NPR is indefensible.
@unclemark I don’t want to subsidize political propaganda. Sorry. Go find private donors to offset the loss

@unclemark I know all about it. Be apolitical and publish those shows. Or choose otherwise and garner 100 percent private funding.
PBS has always struck me as more innocuous than NPR, granted I haven’t watched PBS since I was a toddler and Arthur the Aardvark.
But Congressional Republicans did a good enough job laying the wood to them today that I’m sold.

All arguments of bias are besides the point that we shouldn’t have state run media in a free country. Sorry about your Pravda Mark.
i think i'd contribute to nil before even pbs at this point. just no need for it in this day and age
Not everyone is as hip and tech savvy as we are. Public broadcasting is still very important for a lot of people.
public broadcasting consumer demographics are moderate to liberal, highly educated, and white.
all the hand wringing over rural areas losing an important source of information is hogwash.
@bradstevens fck no he doesn’t see any bias. He watches that shit and thinks now these guys know the score
@unclemark haven’t you noted the bias on NPR before ?
My biggest gripe has been with Jenn White (a black woman) on the show 1A trying to take a race and/or gender angle on every fvcking topic, to the point of absurdity.
Most NPR shows are actually produced by local NPR affiliates, and then are syndicated to other stations. I'd be fine with WFIU not picking up 1A. But I'm happy with most everything else they offer up.

I was about to reply to this thread with 1A.
That show is an abomination. Everything else NPR does is solid. The people bitching about it don't know what the fuck they are talking about. They are just repeating the claim that public broadcasting is leftist because it's a trope.
@goat Ever listen to morning edition? That’s some scary leftist agitprop.
Sounds like you’re the fish who doesn’t realize he lives in a bowl.
