NPR and PBS are not the only beneficieries from CPB funding. In fact, CPB funding only accounts for about 1% of NPR's revenue. NPR is definitely biased but will be fine. Who won't be fine, however, are the thousands of radio and public TV stations across the political spectrum for whom CPB funding makes up a substantial portion of their funding. Every dollar counts for these stations, and seeing our administration decide that public media should die (or, more likely, get swallowed up even more aggressively by Clear Channel/Sinclair) because they're too "woke" is a real shame. Also, CPB was the sole grantor of the NextGen Warning System program, which is ending once CPB shuts down. |
