Help needed NOW House approves Trump's request to cut funding for NPR, PBS and foreign aid apnews.com/article/trum...
How vile
You are helping this regime damage American institutions by putting the soft sale on trump authoritarianism
Americans are going to have to open their wallets and support media outlets that they use.
Political is no longer an American owned media company. Once you understand this, you can see this is just a foreign influence of the American people at play.
WTMD, the cool hipster local radio station here in Baltimore is definitely freaking out over this. The community here will likely rally to support them but it still sucks. Republicans are such complete assholes 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
The GOP is unAmerican. Project 2025 is at the heart of all this nonsense. Some rural areas can only get Public Broadcasting since the internet there is too expensive to bring in, and I know of a disabled person that lives in the mountains because it helps with her medical issues (fibromyalgia).
If Mayor Bass was quified leader she would squashed violence day one. Why didn't she? Diversion from her fails in office at citizens expense I suspect.
Clawing back monies already appropriated and spent is done on purpose to force many stations off the air. It's part of the GOP war on free press and our education system. Call your MoC's today! I've already contacted my MAGA non-Rep. Need to rely on @ossoff.senate.gov & @warnock.senate.gov.
No backsies in federal funding
Support PBS & NPS CONTACT WASHINGTON let them know we oppose the cuts & the big bill use the contact & share docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
Ummmm if you are getting tax dollars you aren’t independent and you were never impartial.
False
Ummmmm I’m pretty sure that’s accurate
So all the things that get tax dollars can’t be impartial? Police, library, museums, research hospitals, doctors, schools, builders, roofers. Just because you don’t like what someone is saying doesn’t mean they’re not being impartial.
Maybe the media should quit kissing trump's ass and actually report the real news!
When possible, become a monthly donor to both Public Radio and Public Television. Public media needs you help!
🤮🤮🤮, always pushing the “agenda “.
Public media stations cannot be part of the state controlled media...
Defend your institutions! Call your Senators at 202 224 3121 to tell them, "No!" Here is the @resist.bot letter I wrote. Send one too if you want. resist.bot/petitions/PN...
So tired of being told to call my senators. Point is none of them are listening. Its pointless. The more we call, the worse things get. Last 5 months is all the proof we need. Removing him physically is the ONLY hope any of us have. Where are the brave ones now?
That is not true. It has been well-documentsed that our calls do help. Saying that that calls make it worse is a logical error. A correlation does not mean causation. I know calling is boring to do every day, but what is the problem with taking 5 minutes to do it anyway?
Been calling and calling for 5 months now. Nothing has changed and its only getting worse. Show me something that proves my efforts are not a waste. Ill continue to call every day when someone can show me how it helps. Til then...my calls are on hold.
You, one person are not going to do it alone. What a freaking answer. Have you had other people call? Democracy requires more than your hurt feelings because you don’t see results fast enough. Complacency got us into this mess.
Excuse me, i did not vote for this shit. Yet i have called and called doing my part, along with many others. You want to buy me a new phone? Cuz mine dont even hold a long charge anymore. Dont tell me about my feelings or anyone elses.
Sorry you're having a rough time.
Hello my friend, sorry to bother you. Please help me quote the tweet and donate even one dollar so I can buy some flour. My family eats spoiled flour and dry bread. Please don't ignore me. 😭😢😢🙏💔💔💔💔💔🫂
I didn’t vote for this shit either. Sorry your 📞 doesn’t work well. All I’m saying is it’s not the time to give up. ✈️ have stopped, that we know of. Jobs are being reinstated. Injunctions are in place. Take a break and if you feel up to it, start calling again. If not, hopefully someone else will.
What a disaster to lose such a precious resource. True unbiased news and priceless children's programming and documentaries, etc
Any democrat that votes to approve this bill should be primaried
we went from the left saying “govt funding is small and irrelevant” to meltdowns over funding well maybe don’t hire a ceo who stated very clearly “the first amendment gets in the way of getting things done” as well as other radical bs when “public” govt funded entities should not favor a side
I rely on NPR and PBS for accurate reporting of news and information.
As an outsider looking in; Public Broadcasting is essential in a Country such as the US, where there is no obligations on broadcasters to present both sides of any argument. There needs to an ‘impartial’ source of information to compare and contrast.
😡😡
How would the PBS cuts affect the British shows, based on detective books and classic novels, that are regular fare on public television?
Nooooo!!!
it is not independent, it is lefty radio
😩👎
they are coming for you next this is about unchecked power of a sociopathic malignant narcissist who will put people who disagree with him in a gas chamber and smile JD said he is america's hitler, he wasn't wrong Pence said not fit ur life and ur family is on the line
John Kelly called him a fascist
Some very wealthy could make a big difference if they funded specifically rural public media.
They do with a constant flow of news about how brown people are destroying the country.
These legislators are stupid AF. And they want you stupid, too.
I so hope they cut this. Taxpayer funding should not go to Marxist propaganda and climate crisis hype. Let individuals fund that stuff by choice, not force.
Protect PBS and NPR !
They want us to ONLY see what they want us to see on TV, with subliminal messages to brainwash our kids to fall in the Natiz lineup. That is why they want to privatize school and add religion to it. Keep the people dumb and complacent. It's barbaric. End this insanity now or suffer greatly.
Subliminal messages like trans kids existing?
Youre a tran.
Yeah, Devil Don does not want THAT thought in their heads. God forbid we don't think like him! He wants to contort us into what he wishes he was, and nobody wants to be that kind of demonic evil.
If this bill passes, I hope moral leaders among the wealthy will step up to support the public good of public media that millions of families across the country rely on. Imagine no Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger, American Crossroads, Masterpiece on PBS, or Fresh Air, Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me on NPR!
@politico.com is helping Trumpy’s regime because they don’t want their audience to know that this has to pass the Senate as well. Instead, they’d rather facilitate fear. Shame on you.
They wrote what happened. It passed the House. wtf is wrong with you people?
Yeah….who needs pbs when you have Fox doing your dirty work.
No doubt it will. The GOP wants to make it impossible for us to hear, see, or read anything but their lies and propaganda. They’re all in on Fascism.
Politico is the ultimate in pay to play journalism
they voted to delay it until after 2026 election They are betting that people will forget and vote them back in🤬🤬
