NPR may have had a good scare thrown in it as a result of attempts to
cut off federal dollars and Bush II being elected,

Please de-fund the CPB! It was invented by Spiro Agnew as a means of
keeping the Presidential thumb on public broadcasters. I'm sick and
tired of National Pentagon Radio and the Pentagon Broadcast System
consistently presenting the pro-war Republican party line as gospel
because some of the people running them are deathly afraid of losing the
pittance they now suck from the public teat.

The best thing that could possibly happen to NPR and PBS is the
dissolution of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Of course, then
we'd have to deal with their funding from international corporations,
which exert a similar influence... but it would be a start, anyway.

It's always nice to have the talking ass of RRS checkin on a thread.
