A few years ago, Soros trumpeted he was endowing NPR with funds to add 300 "reporters". Incalculable damage to our free society, from his "Open Society."

Hopefully. the Trump administration, with help from DOGE, will stop the Swamp from using taxpayer funds to pay for things that are odious to the majority of taxpayers. Such causes, likely unconstitutionally tax supported, include public broadcasting. baby slaughter (abortion), funding of terrorist countries and organizations, the UN and WHO, and so on and so on. Just in case, somebody has not learned or has forgotten-- the purpose of government is to protect and serve its citizens. We are not supposed to serve the government for its illegal, immoral purposes.

Wow. A lot of snouts are suddenly very concerned that they’re about to lose access to the trough. Milei NPR.

Hopefully the owners of the Muppets (& Co.) will simply license them to Disney or Nick Jr.

I think Disney owns the Muppets, but not the ones on Seseme Street. If I remember correctly, this goes back to a deal made when Jim Henson was still alive--but I could be wrong.

Meanwhile most dreadfully sane Americans get their news and dis-information from Fox media, the Sinclair "news" conglomerant, a multitude of right wing Christian propaganda outlets, and the several hundred known right-wing hate sites. And of course the Trump aligned (owned) Truth Social outfit.

Glenn Beck and Russ Limbaugh pioneered this kind of toxic media.

And why not check out the book titled The Republican Noise Machine by David Brock - plus his other books too.
