practically RAISED on PBS back then, I had such an optimistic view of America as a country that valued intellectualism. But geez, the last 10-15 years shattered that viewpoint drip drip drip.

No longer can I believe the POSOTUS is just a minor mistake. He and his allied knuckle draggers in Congress like Taylor Greene, Jim Banks, Bernie Moreno, Randy Fine, etc. are a direct freaking reflection of our country's character.

I don't know if they do it just to be dicks, or to "own" the liberals/non-Trumpians.

PBS and NPR show themselves to be assets to American life.

Those in rural communities....NO MORE Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Masterpiece, Antiques Road Show, Masterpiece Mysteries, Ken Burns documentary series, PBS News Hour, and more.

Their actions show they don’t value high culture, preferring Facebook slop.

...rather than our local station (WETA). WETA will be fine with no federal funding (~3% of their budget), but many smaller PBS stations won't. Donating to PBS directly will enable them to help the stations that have a bigger reliance on federal funds.
