They say talk is cheap, and in the case of defunding NPR and PBS, that has oftentimes been the case as we’ve seen and heard a lot of talk about it over the years from Republicans in Congress but with little to nothing to show for it.
But in the era of Trump 2.0, it’s sounding like more than just talk this time around, with President Donald Trump himself getting loud about it and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) pairing up with Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to introduce the “Defund Government Sponsored Propaganda Act” in February, which takes specific aim at NPR and PBS.
To make matters worse for them, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opened an investigation into both organizations in late January on grounds that they “could be violating federal law by airing commercials.” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr even noted in the letter he wrote to them that it was his opinion they should have been defunded long ago.
With all of that in mind, we turn to one of the best when it comes to explaining the good, the bad, and the ugly about what’s going on in America, what needs to be done and what’s at stake if we don’t do the right thing in response: the national treasure known as Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA).
Kennedy, as we previously reported, has taken to the floor of the Senate a few times this month to lay out receipt after receipt to prove that neither NPR nor PBS deserves one more dime of government funding, showing numerous headlines alone that denoted opinion “journalism” rather than balanced reporting.
I for one cannot wait for the impact this will have here. WSCL is owned by Salisbury University. Thier professors appear on the Delmarva Today, the Don Rush show, to spew liberal nonsense. Remember the days when Mike Dunn worked there and they did everything they could to promote all sort of nonsense in the city of Salisbury? How they did everything the could to get Jimmy boy and the witch Barrie Tilghman elected?
Then when the boy blunder, Jake Day showed up- the public radio station, Jake and SU were basically running this town. Remember Headquarters live? Remember the god awful folk festival? Brought to you by Jake and WSCL and SU. These people have always thought they were better and smarter than you.
Hopefully, defunding NPR means that WSCL finally goes away. If the liberals like it, they can pay for it. However, judging by how poorly they have been doing during the beg-a-thons, even the libs won’t foot the bills. Plus, how much fun will it be to hear the howls from the rainbow sidewalk crowd when thier little toy is broken.
