I couldn't get Bluetooth to work on a car ride recently, wasn't able to listen to Spotify from my phone, and had to listen to FM radio. NPR was by far the best option. Everything else was just ads and annoying disk jockeys.

> The White House, in a social media posting announcing the signing, said the outlets “receive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news.’”

I can kinda see why someone would think NPR is left-leaning (still not worth defunding). But you could stick a gun to my head and I couldn't come up with a complaint about PBS.

How can anybody read language like that and be like “yep! Awesome!”. It’s just unprofessional, angry, petulant, and embarrassing.

Not to mention NPR is hardly left. NPR is left like Democrats are left.

My MAGA brother doesn't let his kids watch PBS kids because of the "non-traditional parenting" and diversity. Daniel Tiger isn't getting the discipline he expects.

Sorry for the children.
