Trump to defund PBS/NPR.

[Coyote]

Yes I would. If that is what viewers want and support, I'm fine with that.

You would scream night and day if the government paid to put Rush on the air.

Who do you think you're fooling?

I wouldn't make peep.

Unlike you guys, I'm not delusional. I don't think there is someone holding a gun to my head and forcing me to listen.

My co-worker listens to Rush, I listen to my Pandora music choices. All is cool.

Choice.

You keep saying you want choice but with government funding all choice is removed.

You have the choice to listen...or not.

How can you claim "all choice is removed"?

You have a choice to pay when you listen to anyone but NPR. In that case you don't just listen to ad's trying to sell you stuff if you choose to purchase them thus keeping the advertisers aboard supporting your show. It's you paying for them to be on air whether you listen or not with tax dollars. You can turn off NPR on the radio, you can't turn them off in your wallet.

I pay for a lot of things whether I use them or not. I have a choice.

 

[OnePercenter]

Every wanna-be despot MUST have an enemy....For Mussolini it was the communists and socialists; for Hitler it was those Jewish bankers....and for Trump it will be that evil media (except for FOX, Breibart and Daily Caller, of course.)

Really sad day for intelligent people.

It's because he is afraid of people in the population having knowledge of what is really going on around them and aren't so easily manipulated by propaganda spewed by people like Trump.

It's like this thread is a room we're all in trying to discuss something and you're some retarded kid with a bucket on his head running all over the place bumping into the walls and furniture.

 

[Tom Horn]

Let's be honest here. Nova and Nature are some of the best programming left on TV. I can fuss thru the GWarming crap to watch them. But don't tell your lefty friends who actually FUNDS those shows. It's those evil Koch Brothers !!!! I'm sure the Kochs
would PREFER to fund them somewhere else.

And frankly -- since they booted production on Sesame Street, I haven't been watching much more than those two. You fire Big Bird and replace him with cheap foreign animation and you're doomed. Not to mention the F-You their news side just did on Trump by editing a time lapse of the mall from dawn and dusk and leaving out the peak TWO HOURS or so of crowd size. That was a kamikaze move after the war was lost -- kind of move.

Weepy Woodruff and Margaret Warner had quite the lie-fest going the night after Trump got elected....something about withered old women telling whoppers that I once found hilarious but now find disgusting. PBS is also very aware of the repeated showings of civil rights era riots, dogs and fire hoses' effect on another generation of young blacks. Their agenda is very clear to anybody paying attention.

Historically, the first order of business for an authoritarian government is to neutralize the media and press. That is what trump is doing by attacking the media. The results will be that no one is able to decipher what is real news and what is not. The government gains complete control of what the public is allowed to know. Even provable facts are questioned and left in doubt.

Seriously? The left "neutralized" the media long ago by buying it and they've been feeding us crap for the last 20 years.

They never tell us one thing about what's going on in the world. There are virtually no reporters left. They are all simply shouting their opinions, speculation and theories. All I hear is what they "think" Trump will do next. No news whatsoever on the huge earthquake in Italy even made it to the screen. 30 seconds on Flint Michigan. Or the thousands of other things that are about people everyday. No coverage of the protests in the Dakotas on the pipeline long before Trump got there.

Real news is missing from the media and has been for a long time. It's about people. And so far, none of the media's predictions or statements have proven true and all of Trump's have. Evidence is always a good thing to use in forming an opinion. I love that he circumvents them from their leftist propaganda by just tweeting what he wants to say.

Plus he gives interviews to people that show some respect. I don't blame him, as I don't deal with people who don't treat me with respect. I don't have to and I don't think he should either.

At one time I would have agreed that the media was center left. about two years ago looked up ownership of all main TV media, you may be surprised to know that major media is right owned& leaning now.

The majority of newscasters and writers lean way left.

Why are you ok with that? If you aren't using something why should you pay for it?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Stopping TAXPAYER money from funding NPR and PBS is fascist and authoritarian?

Anyone who makes that claim is a stark raving moron.

Making them close down is fascist and authoritarian. Making them be funded privately without taxpayer money is called the free market.

Flipping idiots.

We have tax payer money paying for private schools and religious pregnancy clinics, so ... why not NPR?

Those need to stop also!

Eliminating state run media leads to "government gaining complete control of what the public is allowed to know"?

Wow, that's some logic you got there.

NPR isn't state run media you fucking idiot

It became that during the liberals time in office.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

If you are the product of PBS "thinking" that's a prime example of why it's a waste of money.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's some of the funniest shit you have ever said. Oh shit that is fucking hilarious! Jesus you are one hell of a comedian! OMG I"'m busting a gut at how awesome that was!!!!

Damn, that wasn't any where near my best one. You sure are easily entertained.

Let's be real, you got your education from burning crosses and stroking the barrel of a gun, we all know why you are so against PBS and knowledge, it helps people to think for themselves and not be so easily indoctrinated into your little white cloth groups.

Yes, that's where I got my education. The same education that makes you look like the fool you are day after day. The same education that posts things that send you into a tizzy.

You act proud to be an online troll. That's funny shit right there. What kind of life can you possibly have that you brag about acting like a prick on purpose to get a rise out of other people. And then you want to try and make fun of me and my education.




You pathetic little man.

I'm not really trolling here. If you stopped saying stupid shit I wouldn't have to reply in a common sense manor making you look like an idiot. Put more thought into your posts and there is no room for you to be made to look like a fool.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I was complaining about funding any art. If I wasn't clear in that, let me be now.

Why are you opposed to funding art?

Because of a $20 trillion debt.

Don't give that excuse when you plan to spend 12 billion on the Wall.

You see only the negatives of building a wall. I see a cost savings of $160 billion annually taking care of illegals....untold jobs created along with increased revenue.....reduced costs to ICE transporting illegals, court costs, food and temporary housing....so-on.

Most illegals come in legally and do not return. The wall will not help.

Yep! All of those Mexicans came into the US legally and overstayed their visa. Right! That sounds totally believable.

What are you? Some kind of illegal idiot?

Yes, I'm ok with that.

For example, funding PP and other crisis pregnancy centers provide a valuable service to society as a whole and I support that.

Are you sure it's "agenda" and not just nostaglia for the good ole days when leftists were liberals and actually stood for stuff and changed the world???

It appeals to people over 50. That's their demographic. And I'd rather be stuck in the 60's on PBS than watch a History Channel where every other show is about Hiltler and WW2.

 

[bripat9643]

PBS helps educate kids and adults alike...I'm sorry some here have a problem with enlightenment. Let's be honest, Trump is only cutting it because it provides information about global warming,evolution, and other items that scare his little mind.

If you are the product of PBS "thinking" that's a prime example of why it's a waste of money.

Let's get real: you're a leftwing douche bag who uses insults as a substitute for facts and logic. PBS is nothing more than a government propaganda organ. That's the only reason all you douche bags are crying about its demise.

PP sure doesn't provide much of a service to our newest citizens. The ones that will never get anything from government other than a death sentence at the very earliest point of their life. Does that actually make you feel good that you ending that child's life you consider a good service that helped you out?

Do you feel good deliberately distorting people's positions?
