Good day all. Among the things that Elon Musk and DOGE took down USAID, they also helped the White House budget Director, Russ Vought, pull back over $1 billion dollars from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Now the CPB has folded it’s tent, closed it’s doors and gone out of business.
With the loss of the money, along with a few other things, the CPB couldn’t fund their anti-American, leftist agenda any longer and they announced that they were shutting down. Here are some of the details from Deadline:
The board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting voted to dissolve the organization after Donald Trump’s successful effort last year to roll back federal funding.
The move is not a surprise: After it became clear that funding would not be restored, the CPB announced in August it would be shutting down operations. It had about 100 employees, and a transition team has been in place since the fiscal year ended September 30.
Patricia Harrison, president and CEO of the CPB, said in a statement, “When the Administration and Congress rescinded federal funding, our Board faced a profound responsibility: CPB’s final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic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.”
Typical Libtard Karen delusion I see. You had no choice but to either find alternative sources of funding, which I gather didn’t happen, (So much for all those wealthy Liberal billionaires), or shut down. Those were the only options. Since you were broke, the doors had to close.
Now the closing of the CPB might have been met with great sadness and anger by the Left, but for everyone else, it’s basically been more of a “Good bye, Good riddance and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Here are few of those details from Townhall:
The 58-year-old non-profit Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is no more. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is all of us right now.
Senator Kennedy posted a video on Twitter laying out just how biased they were.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting—which funneled your money to NPR and PBS to call birds, roads, and country music racist—is officially DISSOLVED.
Good riddance.pic.twitter.com/jjgUGcRjP9

For decades, conservatives and Republican lawmakers have advocated for CPB to be stripped of its taxpayer funding for the very reasons Sen. Kennedy outlined in the video: Government should not be paying for Democrat agendas and leftist ideology like the concept of racist preschoolers or Ken Burns latest snockumentary about how horrible the founders really were.
But Congress was never unified enough to cross that line. Thanks to the election of President Donald Trump and the 119th Congress under the leadership of Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA-04) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), somehow they found the testicular fortitude to cut CPB off the government teat.
The hypocritical leftists who claimed funding the CPB was imperative because it was such a vital resource to the country couldn’t even be bothered to make up the $1.1 billion deficit left by the rescission of government funding. So, the once vaunted organization that funded PBS, NPR, and certain affiliate stations took its final breath.
Hurry and salt the earth to ensure there is no chance of revival.
As I mentioned, the Townhall column also asked where were all the billionaires who have been bemoaning the death of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting? I suspect they’ve been making arrangements to move out of their usual haunts in Kalifornistan and the the People’s Socialist Democratic Republic of New York City. They certain weren’t opening their checkbooks to fund the CPB.
Brad Slager asked a salient question: If the programming is so pivotal, why not go to a commercial model in order to pay for it?
One thing that rarely gets discussed is the option of going with a commercial model. Why is it considered a non-starter for these outlets to resort to the standard practice of selling ad time? For all of the touted quality of the content on the network and the expressed need for PBS to be available, one would think that corporate arrangements could be made to keep the network afloat.
The reason they didn’t go that route is simple. It would mean that they would have to actually produce programming at most people wold actually like to watch, not their usual fare of WOKE anti-American Politically Correct Progressive crap. The people involved with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS live in a progressive, elitist bubble. They have nothing in common with most of America, referring to it as “Flyover country” and consider anyone who is not a part of their “clique” to be to stupid to tie their own shoes.
Well now they have finally learned what the meaning of FAFO is. They fucked around for decades, then the money was shut off. Now they have found out. Good bye and good riddance the yet another taxpayer funded Democrat propaganda organ.
