NPR funding "rant"


As you know, most of my postings are book or movie related, with just an occasional rant about something.
This is a rant.
Your government at work, it wishes to cease all funding to NPR, PBS, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Of course, our country is in trouble financially, but whose fault is that? Certainly not NPR or PBS!
If you follow this blog at all, you know by now that so many of the books I post are ones that I have heard discussed or reviewed on NPR......... If you listen to NPR or watch PBS, it is time for you to take the gauntlet and toss (figuratively only) it in the direction of our Federal elected officials. Let them know that you support even handed, both sides of the issue reporting and broadcasting., and you sure don't get that on any of the commerical supported radio or tv stations.
Please consider supporting your local NPR station or PBS station. I am a member of 2 NPR stations NWPR and KPLU. You don't get in-depth reporting on any other American radio or tv stations. What you don't know will hurt you in the long run.
