    CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison:

    >”For more than half a century, CPB existed to ensure that all Americans—regardless of geography, income, or background—had access to trusted news, educational programming, and local storytelling. When the Administration and Congress rescinded federal funding, our Board faced a profound responsibility: CPB’s final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.”

    >“Public media remains essential to a healthy democracy. Our hope is that future leaders and generations will recognize its value, defend its independence, and continue the work of ensuring that trustworthy, educational, and community-centered media remains accessible to all Americans.”

    Wow. Jesus fucking Christ. The Republicans win when they loose, and when they win. One party always seems to get it’s way, not matter how long or what it takes. This is fascism in an increasingly one-party state.

  3. Anyone else see Russia destroying our country via Trump? What the fuck happened to the military oaths. Wheres all the 2A tough guys? This is the moment ya’ll were waiting for.

  4. How will this impact NPR & PBS, what are their options in terms of the funding CPB handled?

  5. This is honestly the worst timeline. I wish we had a modern day figure like Mr Rogers to help keep Public Broadcasting from being defunded to begin with.

  6. “No child left behind” grant is gone

    Now we are doing “every child left behind”

  7. Incoming new propaganda department to replace it.

    I’ll probably have some conservatives trying to tell me that Sesame Street was already “liberal propaganda” but ask yourself, what are the ideas being pushed? Love and acceptance? Knowing how to read?

    This sickens me.

    Our country is currently being run my nihilists intent on tearing everything up by the roots. I can only hope we’ve got seeds to plant to regrow.
