Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down after being defunded by Congress, targeted by Trump - The Boston Globe

The closure is expected to have a profound impact on the journalistic and cultural landscape — in particular, public radio and TV stations in small communities across the United States.

Gotta say, I think I'm a bit more concerned about the attack on science.

Public broadcasting is important, but defunding science is attacking intellectualism, making people more susceptible to controlling narratives.

There are long term consequences of this, including climate change.

eliminating public broadcasting is also attacking intellectualism. Were you being sarcastic?

That’s why I like listening to science Friday on NPR… feel like I learn so much every time.
