I do think it is poor practice to have the government fund content that has political opinion.

You sound like you could tell us a lot about poor practices. I think I’ll tune you out though, it seems like valueless content to me.

This is the reason I’ve added my NPR stations to my donations list. Fuck the republican traitor filth. Now and forever, every republican can fuck off and die.

I added NPR and PBS to my monthly donation list as well. I wonder how many others will contribute what they can now thanks to this investigation?

The number of people that are going to be unemployed in the next 90 days as a direct result of this administration’s decisions is truly astounding.
