The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. Without federal funding, dozens of small public media stations are at risk of closing.

This is devastating. They didn't even get an opportunity to pay him off like other news outlets. So much for trump allowing free speech again.

Traitor tRUmp & Co. are to blame. I think we all know what needs to be done, so do it.

I can't remember when I last watched or heard a PBS program. Where even are they? On cable?

I work with someone who's a fan of mango mussolini AND is a fan of PBS and their programming. I'm curious to see how they're going to spin this.

Curious if there was data for what closures happen first. Surprise surprise surprise.

What PBS Stations might close immediately. Rural and under served stations face the most risk.

A sad day in American history. The only good news is that Trump did everything through executive order. And the next President only has to reverse them with an executive order! But the damage is done for some of them....

Except it will take a decade or more to undo. An EO would just be the easy first step.

I will vote but not fiscally support corporate democrats. If they want my support they will swing to us, to the progressives. We must have a major win: they can't do it. A: polling data. B: progressivism.

WTF!!! I’ll never understand why one billionaire wouldn’t just donate the money to save it! Billionaires used to build things and help society. Andrew Carnegie might have been a dick but at least he gave us libraries and museums! If I were right I would want the accolades that comes with helping ppl

Considering the American taxpayers have given the billionaires two tax breaks, 2017 and now 2025, it's shocking that none of them are willing to save public broadcasting with their own money So when is "trickle down" gonna happen ?

Jason M Ernst @jason-m-ernst.bsky.social

The US has 902 billionaires. If the total public broadcasting budget is split evenly among them, each billionaire would pay $764,966 per year—and the entire system would be funded forever. Most billionaires make more than that in one hour. Give me a fucking break that they can’t and won’t do it.
