    If you care about PBS and NPR it’s a good thing. Sounds like you care more about political points

      No. I care about having an independent public media that’s funded through progressive taxation.

      The entire point of things like this is to move everything away from that and it’s ruining this country.

      There is a reason they’re privatizing everything, and it has nothing to do with cutting the deficit.

        You want to force everyone to pay for a thing that you want. I think the donors paying for a thing they want is more fair. Not everyone enjoys NPR, why should public funds go to NPR when it only benefits the people who will listen to it?

        Let’s not pretend there aren’t many great sources of news and commentary that are accessible on the web. I listen to NPR because I’m in a car and I didn’t get a podcast ready
