The Senate voted on Tuesday evening to advance a package that would roll back $1.1 billion in funding to PBS, NPR and public media that had already been allocated over the next two years.

Vice President JD Vance had to break a tie, 51-50, to move the rescission's package to the floor. Three Republicans — Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — joined with all Democrats and independents against it.

A final vote is expected in the next couple of days.

"This is in our view a misuse of taxpayer dollars,” House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters earlier on Tuesday. “They’re biased reporting, they’re not objective. They pretend to be so, they have for a long time. And the people don’t need to fund that.” He also cited the change in the media landscape “with so many different areas for information.”

Indeed.

Way to go, assclowns. You must be so proud of butchering our Government. Go ahead and burn it down, because people will be begging for us to rebuild it when you're done. Hopefully, the pieces can be put back together, and we can have a government that helps the people instead of feeding the rich with your piss down economics.

Reichtards hate them some culture, education, classier-than-NASCAR entertainment. It must be killed! They even hate Big Bird and Kermit.

If NPR PBS, and Public Media were as biased to the right as they are to the left, these loons would be screaming to defund them.

All of their editors are Democrats.

They can sink or swim now.

Too funny.

Nice whine,

pEarl. You are, as always, wrong. These media are apolitical. You just want to believe that they are leftist so that you can not feel guilty about stifling them like the good little flaccid fascist that you are.

They've changed so much...so partisan now...
They're going to have to find better ways to fundraise...

NPR is something my Mom used to listen to, and she's a Christian conservative. It has no slant to speak of. Of course, anything that doesn't support their eclipsed worldview is leftist. They need dogma and hot cocoa news.
