Summary

The Republican-led push to defund public broadcasters like NPR and PBS has gained new momentum with Sen. John Kennedy's proposed "No Propaganda Act," echoing longstanding conservative critiques of media bias and fiscal waste.

The effort is bolstered by changing media consumption habits, a weakened public radio audience, and competition from digital platforms like Spotify and The New York Times.

NPR faces challenges in adapting to a digital future, while internal divisions and declining funding threaten its sustainability.

Advocates warn this campaign may succeed where past efforts have failed.

Not nearly frequent, but it has happened. The working class can investigate all they want, but when they bring their findings to those with the power or ability to do anything, they'll be met with "and?"

Oh you're assuming we're waiting for courts at that point. When the government is bombing apartments the courts won't matter much at that point.
