Will NPR and PBS make Changes in Order to Regain Government Funding?

Only guillible rubes attack NPR.

I see that PBS has already made changes.

• New programming like NOVA is way down. They are now running reruns in prime time.
• Every time I pass the PBS channels, they are on a funding drive. Even their main channel which in the past was never used for funding drives.

I called them up during one such funding drive and told them I'd donate generously as soon as they put Ted Nugent on their channel. They hung up on me.

It's the summer rerun season, halfwit. All networks do it & have been doing it for decades.

Some people with a brain actually enjoy watching PBS, unlike you who gets his jollies streaming reruns of Gilligan's Island, Hee Haw & My Mother The Car.

PBS streaming is quite worthwhile.

If one can't see it, one has no worth.

So they should make some changes to get back their funding.

The TDS is strong in this one.

Nobody I know of who want to cut the funding wants to return it.

My question is about what PBS and NPR will do.

I think they will ultimately announce changes, offer some grudging conditional mea culpas ("we regret if anyone interpretted what we said as . . . ") in hopes of getting some temporary funding.

But they will be very vague, and not ever really admit they did wrong in the first place.

Their real hope will be that Dems return to power, but that will be more difficult without PBS and NPR to rally the youth vote to the polls.
