Dear Congress:
You're not being the people Mr. Rogers thought you could be.
And fhere are so many great educational YouTube channels that are partly funded by PBS, that's awful..
Ex:
Space Time is fucking amazing.
If anyone reading this is even remotely interested in science, watch that channel. Absorb it. It speaks truth.
PBS Eons
Crash Course is also filmed at the PBS affiliate station in Indianapolis.

Knowledge is power and they want the public to have none of it
What's really insane is they don't even want the knowledge. They just want knowledge in any capacity to go away.
No, they want the knowledge but only for themselves, after all during the guilded age, the educated where the rich and the rest where ignorant so they couldn't push back and be controlled. PBS and NPR spread knowledge for the masses and THAT is what they want to stop

Keep them just smart enough to work the machines, but too stupid to coordinate uprising.

Carlin calling out the machine spirites 40k years before we forget how to use machines.

They've had a hardon for public broadcasting for thirty years, which is why NPR and PBS have been preparing for this and why their funding largely doesn't come from the feds anymore. It's a hollow victory, it's just depressing because anymore, it seems the right gets everything they want. They get it all. All of it. And we get nothing.
What's sick is that they are a fraction of this country. But thanks to their money and their platforms, they can constantly repeat the lie that "most people are conservatives".
No, the kind of weird perverted freaks that dream of killing funding to NPR and PBS are definitely not normal and not the majority. But yeah, thanks to a lot of various things, they get what they want....it's sickening.
I wish more people voted.
strange, I assumed they get their budget raised after Elmo came out as a nazi
It's just all vengeance and spite for decades of having to "tolerate" even a modicum of liberalism in their lives.
You spelled 'not having slaves' kinda funny there.
Fuck this administration, I hope they burn in the hell they believe in. I hope they all get cancer.
I try my best to find redeeming qualities in everyone, but there is none to be found in them.

Education is nearly dead. Just the way these shitbags want it.
Elmo's attempt to appeal to their base failed.
The White House called for an end to federal funding for NPR and PBS in April, claiming that they "spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news.'" Trump also fired the CPB's three Democratic board members, who refused to leave their posts. Trump sued them this week in an attempt to force them out.
Translation: they don't regurgitate right wing talking points.
These people are disgusting.
They also educate and inform people. That's a problem for the GOP. They don't want the American people, ESPECIALLY low income people, to have access to free education and information that PBS and NPR provides. They need to ensure the population is stupid thus easier to control.
So America they've taken your medicade, they've taken the ability of a good portion of your country to be able to eat, they're taking immigrants, tourists, or people that they don't agree with to camps, they're taking your education, they're taxing you with tariffs, they have a gestapo, and they'll be taking away more rights from Women and POC. I have to ask...how much longer until you start to get a little bit violent?

NPR is the only news media that consistently tells me the core news, why it's important, and never "how I should feel about it".
Pbs bye bye now. Me smarter now though. Me teacher reached me about god and told me that as long as I pray to my god I will be happy and that got tells us it’s okay because we are his chosen once and no one else matters and. We need to show them god too so we will make big holy weapons in factories when we grow up. Also I am so glad stients were deleted. Stients reached us false messages and that god was not real and stients caused people to live a part from god. I always sayed that oh wow it sounds good to be a part from god like god made the trees and the dogs but they told me it’s bad.
How else are you going to fund Elmo's tax cut?
I really hate this administration.
What did people expect. Trump and his largest donor both own social media sites and these are competitors eyeball time for ads
