I'm with you on what I like to call the well-to-do liberal tilt of public broadcasting (NPR in particular). Reminds me a lot of the New York Times and their blatant biases. But my understanding is that the CPB is just a source of funding for PBS/NPR and is not directly linked to their operations. That said, they apparently provide quite a lot of the funding to those stations, so their odds of survival are looking quite grim.

Yeah, move away from the small dollar (grassroots) donors! What a great way to represent the electorate! We're beyond cooked.

Yeah, I feel like the US would get kicked out of Five Eyes first. If they're not already being isolated quietly.

Sounds familiar...

Yeah, I was told by a certain someone that the election would be rigged and stolen. For months. Where are the angry mobs marching down the streets?

How nice of him to give them all weekend to file an appeal! /s

Yeah, I don't think this will help very much with that particular issue...

Well, he ran on putting the crazy parents in charge of our education system, and here he is delivering on that promise!

They cater to their audience. And who in this day and age is spending lots of time watching cable TV?

I'm sorry, they complain about emissions from trains? The electric Amtrak trains? From within a tunnel? While they're surrounded by streets will all kinds of car traffic? Freight trains are routed the long way around the city btw.

They say it because it is demonstrably true. We have numbers for these things, no need to ask random people about it.
