Congress’s slashing of federal funding has resulted in one of the most useless agencies shutting down operations.
The far-left Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced in a press release on Friday that they were going to begin the process of closing down for good, despite a supposed outcry from millions of Americans.
The organization cited the shutdown due to the passage of the rescissions package last month and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill.

The "outcry" from millions of Americans was a giant yawn, "Who cares?"

I presume they are hoping they will make a huge outcry and regain funding which is only 1% of their total needed.
The local affiliates seem to need 13% of their funding from the government which is likely why NPR needs to close since those stations pay NPR to have their programming.
Now, if we can get to a point where we can pick the stations al a carte instead of being forced to pay for programs we don't want or like, that will be a good step in freedom of choice.

Yeah, cynical me is not believing "millions of people"; I'm envisioning perhaps something similar to the "tens of people" who protested against Colbert's firing".

The 1% number was from NPR and public TV.
100% of CPB's $465 million budget was tax dollars.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is a private corporation funded by taxpayers.
Leftists would lose their minds if there was a conservative private corporation that was funded with tax dollars.

I used to listen to NPR daily on the drive to and from work. Yes, there was bias 30 years ago, but I was able to ignore it. But, the bias go worse and worse to the point where I felt ridiculed and mocked. I stopped listening probably 15 years ago. Every once in awhile I turn it on, until my blood pressure spikes. Usually in under 5 minutes.
Its not the bias that hacks me off. Its the smug superiority, belittling and outright false information peddled as gospel. If I want to be talked down too, I can listen to recordings of the light bringers speeches.

I’m sure the CCP will step up their donations. It’s perfect for them.

USAID, the money laundering bank for leftist causes. Taking them down was huge!
"According to the release, the CPB told its employees that the majority of staff positions would end at the close of the fiscal year, which is on September 30, 2025. A ‘small’ transition team would then remain through January 2026 to ensure a proper closing of operations."
Notice small is in quotes. . . You don't need a transition team to shut down something useless. Just turn the lights off.

The left is running out of money, and the big name Dem donors remember that they were scammed by Harris.
The right should go after Soros - then the money spigot will not only be turned off, but welded shut.

What's the matter, all of those thousands of public broadcasting fans won't give you a donation to continue operations? I thought that we forced contributers didn't mean much to you?

Oh Darn!!! How on earth will I get the proper perspective as to how I should be thinking when I can't hear "All things considered solely from our point of view?"
