Welp, yer either too dumb or too arrogant to understand the link that I spoon fed to you. Go back to ktoo and look at the local pieces and find some commensurate reporting. I’ll be waiting. You want to be “shocked” and “maddened” all the time. Try looking at an issue and absorbing information to understand it and quit being so elitist. (I can give you some pointers there but you’ll need to pay attention) F—k, MAGA wins an election and suddenly they’re better than everyone. Rural America counts too bud.

That’s a lot of BS packed into two paragraphs. It’s as if you are upset. NPR and PBS bring nothing to the show that can’t be found elsewhere. The local reporting you believe to be “valuable” is likely seen/heard by dozens. No reason for it to be government funded. Here is a link to the local newspaper in Juneau - the home of KTOO. It apparently survives without government funding. In any event, it’s a source of valuable local reporting in the event PBS/NPR aren’t as valuable as they perhaps once were. https://www.juneauempire.com/ My understanding is that they also have tv stations aside from KTOO in Juneau and those stations have news programs. Should they receive government funding? Why/why not?

Is any of this registering with you? Working people in rural America, the elderly… Not everyone watches Fox News at the country club champ.

None of the people you are concerned with getting “valuable” local news have televisions or internet access. You have convinced me that continued government funding of NPR is crucial to the welfare of eskimos and old people. 1
