You would think they would do some homework.
I thought it was minimally funded by the gov, so I checked.
A bit less than 1% of its operating budget is government funded.

So obv just a ploy to rile the base a bit more.

Assholes.

Going after funding for NPR/PBS has been such dog whistle bullshit for so long on the right that only the stupidest of the base still get fired up about it.


Which I guess is why Boebert and Musk have just discovered it.

Speaking of ancient dog whistles, Boebert needs a framed print of this on her wall. Not that she would know the significance. To her it's just a purty Jayzus paint'n.

when are people going to learn to accurately cover this asshole?

The whimsical and charismatic visionary has sailed through the past few months like a rising star whose ascent could not be disrupted by anything, even big mistakes that would normally cause the downfall of an icon.

His missteps seemed to be forgotten only a short time later, as his aura and his influence have become colossal.

I for one am shocked that a guy whose apparent sole reason for getting out of bed in the morning is to be a shitty twitter troll, might also not give two shits about consumer safety. SHOCKED I say!
