@trollslayer Of course YOU wouldn't see the bias. You loved what they said.

There was undisputable evidence at the hearings that both entities were far left.

Just because you saw 1-2% of the criticism applied to a Democrat once or twice
does not make them fair and balanced.

Democrats automatically believe EVERY negative comment about Trump, and with all
the hate, they have endless things to talk about.

And they ALWAYS used the DNC approved buzz words and talking points.

There was zero journalism going on, only parroting.

@DogMan The unique thing with Trump is that you don’t have to “believe” anything. All you have to do is watch/listen to his own words. He admits his own crimes. No commentary is even necessary.

@trollslayer No commentary is even necessary.

And yet they comment on him 24/7 365

@ElwoodBlues OK, Great! So they should continue to be on the air, right?

@DogMan Actually, neither NPR nor PBS is directly "on the air." Instead, member stations choose to pay for feeds from them like "All Things Considered" and "Sesame St." To add to the funding complexity, NPR only received about 1% of its funding from CPB, however 30% of its funding comes from member station fees, and those member stations on average got about 15% of their funding from CPB.

To address your question, I would oppose any effort to prevent member stations from paying for shows from NPR and PBS.

As far as "bias" is concerned, I can cite for you a number of studies showing that NPR listeners are the best informed about current events. To me that indicates NPR has the least bias.

@DogMan yes , but they will be smaller without the govt handouts

@FreeSpirit1 Why? All they have to do is get a few advertisers to make up the small amount
they were getting from taxpayers, right?

@DogMan that is what they will probably do. and more fundraising drive. And it wasn't a small amount, just not the majority.

@AbbeyRhode Thank reality for good old fashioned common sense and straight talking.
