From the article:
A conservative group yesterday urged the Federal Communications Commission to take licenses away from NPR and PBS stations and let other entities use the spectrum. The request came from the Center for American Rights (CAR), a nonprofit law firm that has played a prominent role in the news-distortion investigations spearheaded by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. (…) “If PBS and NPR cannot prove a viable long-term business model as national networks—and if their individual affiliates cannot show long-term business models in each market—then this Commission needs to consider whether those channels (i.e., that spectrum) will become available in the near future for other potential licensees or uses,” the group said.
From me:
So it’s up to us to help our local PBS and NPR stations stay financially viable for the long term. Put a donation on autopay, an amount you can afford monthly. Those of us who already do, should see if we can raise it at all. I know NPR and PBS aren’t far enough left for some lemmings, but they’re a fuck of a lot better than the fascist alternative.
They have YouTube channel’s too. With great content I watch almost daily. I buy merch and its the only channel I turn off adblocker.
The media company that settled a defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million gets top billing, but PBS and NPR get thrown under the bus.
Remember when Republicans (pretended) to support free speech?
They do support free speech! You can say whatever you want, as long as it is not mean to Donald Trump.
…or mean to any of the ridiculous ideas that they hold dear.
They still protect free speech. Just look at their mission statement!
pretty sure that mission statement is in fact canned peaches, not freezed peaches.
I don’t really care about inner conflicts in US. That is something you should take care internally - but if Tiny Desk Concerts are canceled, this will cross the line…
I have them on auto pay
