Let’s hear a chorus of, "Aw!” What kind of entitlement thinking allowed them to believe they could join the circus of “Let’s malign Trump 24/7.” And it wouldn’t affect their funding? From 2016 onward, especially NPR began a program of, “Destroy Trump at any cost.” Funny how most of America, even the Elite, just loved The Donald previously. He was welcomed everywhere, from the hot spots of the rich and famous to talk shows to most golf courses, the world over. What does it take to flip that adoration on it’s head and become a pariah? Declare your intention to run for the top job in the nation. Strangely enough, that’s all it took. Why? Because Obama and Hillary had it all planned out. Even though they opposed each other in the 2008 primary, in that infamous back room, plans were underway to map America’s future for at least the next 16 years.

Hillary had been promised the full support of the Party if she would agree to withdraw in 08 and throw her support behind Obama as the first black president. Interesting how his white half was at least ignored if not vilified. That is probably the only thing that would have allowed Hillary to step aside, the promise of being the first woman president, with the full support of the Party in 2016. That is where public radio really entered the fray. Nearly all of the Lame Stream Media were onboard with that plan. So, they set about applying the Chinese tactical torture of ‘Death by a Thousand Cuts’ to Trump every chance they got. If it had been literal instead of figurative, Trump would have bled to death before the election.

I seldom listen to any of the news channels because I already know which way that particular wind blows, but surely, public broadcasting should be more equitable. Just report the news without any political bias. Kind of like Walter Cronkite did back in the day. There was no way most listeners could know for sure what Party Cronkite belonged to as he kept his opinions mostly to himself, at least as long as the cameras were rolling. He trusted that his listeners had the intelligence to make up their own minds about a particular issue. Like newspapers used to keep biased opinions for the opinion section of their paper. Shows like 60 Minutes or 48 Hours, were able to dig into a feature and include their opinion and the audience expected that. When did that begin to change? Well, when did William Casey and William Colby head the CIA?

“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” William Colby, Director of the CIA.

“We will know when our disinformation campaign is complete when everything the American people believe is false.” CIA Director William Casey.

So, I would say at least sometime in the early 70’s, during the time of Watergate when there was a concerted effort to dethrone Richard Nixon. Not that he did much to help himself. It may have started earlier, after the deadly 60’s. Judging by my first exposure to Sesame Street, PBS was already painting the country in rainbow colors. A steady drip, drip, drip that molded children’s minds, while the nightly news did the same for adults, portraying Woodward and Bernstein as journalistic heroes. We would later learn that Woodward had been recruited by the CIA during his college years. Bernstein sounds like a Jewish name. Was he also working for the CIA besides the Washing Post? Or was he just Woodward’s handler? As for Deep Throat, we discovered later that he was W. Mark Felt, the second in command at the FBI. As I suffered my way through Sesame Street with my daughter, successive step children, my son and then grandchildren, it wasn’t difficult to see how far left this organization was becoming.

NPR was born in 1970 and used to have some interesting programs. According to Wikipedia, it is an independent, non profit media organization that was founded on a mission to create a more informed public. It is public funded. It was created following the congressional passage of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, signed by LBJ.

It doesn’t say at what point it became a prejudiced mouthpiece for the left. PBS is to television what NPR is to radio. I’m thinking PBS execs should have remembered that it is paid for through special congressional funding, as well as station pledge drives. “According to the World Encyclopedia, there have been questions of bias and slanted coverage raised and remain to be addressed by policy makers and public alike.”

I would advise the people running those programs to take a refresher course in the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. It requires “A strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature. It also prohibits the federal government from interfering or controlling what is broadcast.” Talk about a double edged sword! This sets up an obvious tension where the government that created the CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) would not be able to do anything about a perceived failure to meet its obligation for objectivity and balance without interfering in some way.

Again, according to Wikipedia, “At a more basic and problematic level is how and who should determine what constitutes objectivity and balance when there are massive disagreements over what that would be. There seems to be no consensus or even attempts at forming a consensus to resolve this dilemma.”

Well, surprise me! I have an idea. How about conservatives refuse any funding or even watching their programs? Just in case some Libtard judge decides that Trump can’t defund them? Maybe they can show their true colors and go running to Georgie Soros. He seems to have deep pockets along with a shallow mind.

My husband’s best friend was an announcer on a local NPR station. I’m sure that Don and his wife were Democrats. But you would never know it by how he handled the news. That is the way it should be. By the late 90’s, NPR was noticeably listing to port. That is left for you land lubbers. NPR was in full swing during 9/11, in lockstep with CNN, by the time I started listening to them very much. It’s an odd thing, but the more others try to tell me what to think or believe, the more I dig my toes in and try to determine why Public Broadcasting and National Public Radio would care about my opinion on various subjects. Other than some well written and acted murder mystery series, I all but ignored any other thing PBS put out. It was harder to ignore NPR as I really like talk shows. But as I listened, I began to see just how far left journalists were willing to go to attempt to brainwash the public to their way of thinking. How many Americans, listening to the farm fertilizer they put out, really believed what they were hearing? Sadly, too many people, who don’t know how to use critical thinking skills they should have developed in school.

These days, my husband, realizing that more and more of what they put out is propaganda, refuses to listen to NPR after his friend retired, but I, ever curious, paid attention to how slanted to the left they had become. I listened to NPR every time I got into the car by myself. I wondered how long this could continue as the 2016 election told me that people were waking up and thinking for themselves. By 2020, I was sending, in responses to Trump asking for ideas from his supporters, “Please, defund PBS and NPR.” If they want to use their air time to lie about Trump and his supporters, hoping most listeners would either buy into the BS and/or share their podcasts with family and friends to affect the outcome of the 2020 election, they deserve to be defunded. I was hoping it would cost them. It finally is if I am reading correctly.

Now, they are whining about being defunded? It’s about damn time! Freedom of speech and freedom of the press notwithstanding, there should be no mandate for the government to pay for such nonsense, Did the government pay Rush Limbaugh to trash the Libtards? I would be against that as well, unless it was made clear that the following was a personal opinion, not truth for public consumption.

Thank you President Trump for giving Public Broadcasting a lesson in common sense. Damn, I’m going to miss Sesame Street with the great grand children...Not!
