trump budget trashes public television

[archives]

Cry harder snowflake; elections have consequences.

I am amused by the idiots on the left who claim that public TV will cease to exist if the Government doesn't spend millions on them. The Government should not be in the media business....EVER.

The Gov't "getting out of the media business" is only going hurt your fellow red states, your condemning them to a life time of demogogues and politicians

And, as I said before, if all one has to point to as a rebuttal is sometime that happened over a year ago it means they got nothing, like the towel hitting the canvas

You just love to wallow in bullshit don't you snowflake. Someday you might discover a fact; that will be the day hell freezes over.

As long as Bill Moyers has a program on PBS it should not get any gubmint funding.
PBS should not be political and Moyers can't make a show about tiddly winks without being highly partisan.
Can you imagine PBS letting Hannity have a show ?

TRIGGERED, UNHINGED and STUPID!

"drug attic" and BTW; PBS was politically "weaponized" several decades ago, just as the DOJ and state department was 2009- 2017-- trump must destroy their taxpayer funded weapons. that means 97% of the state dept./doj MUST be fired. not one of them blew a whistle or did their damned jobs. they are ALL derelict in their duties. FIRED.

This is only Trump's proposal for the budget and as such, has not passed hurdle one.

It's doubtful that anything in it will see the light of day.

Besides, the Federal govt's share of PBS's funding is relatively small.

They get most of their funding from other sources.

[canceled.2021.2]

so trumps budget has erased all money for public tv....what a piece of shit

trillions for the rich but kill everything for the people

Are you saying people won’t have TV without PBS?

Good. Gut it

Hopefully this is all much ado about nothing.

Trump proposes eliminating federal funding for PBS, NPR

President Trump's newly proposed budget includes a proposal to end federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), part of a package that includes $300 billion in new spending overall.

CPB provides federal funding for PBS and National Public Radio stations.

"The Budget proposes to eliminate Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) over a two year period," according to the proposal.

"CPB grants represent a small share of the total funding for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), which primarily rely on private donations to fund their operations," it continues.

"To conduct an orderly transition away from Federal funding, the Budget requests $15.5 million in 2019 and $15 million in 2020, which would include funding for personnel costs of $16.2 million, rental costs of $8.9 million; and other costs totaling $5.4 million."

In a statement in March 2017 after the first Trump budget proposed the elimination of CPB, the 50-year-old nonprofit characterized itself as “one of America’s best investments.”

“We will work with the new administration and Congress in raising awareness that elimination of federal funding to CPB begins the collapse of the public media system itself and the end of the essential national service," CPB President Patricia Harrison said.

“There is no viable substitute for federal funding that ensures Americans have universal access to public media’s educational and informational programming and services," she added.

“The elimination of federal funding to CPB would initially devastate and ultimately destroy public media’s role in early childhood education, public safety, connecting citizens to our history, and promoting civil discussions — all for Americans in both rural and urban communities.”

Responding to Trump's budget, the CPB's head said the cuts would hurt emergency alert systems and childhood programming, among other things.

PBS CEO Paula Kerger said at a TV critics meeting last July that a number of PBS stations across the country are dependent on federal funding in order to survive.

"PBS will not go away, but a number of our stations will," Kerger said on July 30. "There is no Plan B for that."

Trump's budget requires congressional approval before it can take effect. Public broadcasting has survived previous presidential threats to cut its funding.

Fuck Trump.
