_NPR, PBS Funder to Shut Down Following Trump Cuts_

Both PBS and NPR have defended their receipt of federal funding by emphasizing that it constitutes a relatively small portion of their overall budgets.

But it's apparently enough to be a deciding factor for whether or not they can afford to operate.

They can't have it both ways. And even if they could, it wouldn't change the fact that they have NO RIGHT to taxpayer funds—even were it not the case that such a huge number of taxpayers do not want to pay for their services.

More fundamentally, the Federal government has NO BUSINESS funding ANY source of news and/or opinion. for the same reason it has no business funding churches and/or religions.

FTA: Public broadcasting may fade away in January after federal budget cuts snapped its government handout.

Last month, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting saw its $500 million federal subsidy end as Congress approved a recissions package that originated with President Donald Trump.

As a result, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting said that in January, NPR, PBS, and local public radio and TV stations are at risk of going dark.
