This is an example of how "conservatism' has utterly failed. They've been talking about defunding those gay commie propaganda outlets for at least 25 years and as far as I know there hasn't even been a funding freeze much less a cut.
Same thing in Canada.
The right-wing federal Conservative party was in power from 2005 to 2015 pre-Trudeau and left the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation completely intact despite its base calling for its dissolution or privatization from Day One.
The CBC in Canada is essentially Trudeau's PR propaganda arm now.
And the CBC here lacks the prestige of the BBC and the eclectic nature of NPR.
The CBC is simply woke, milquetoast and generic.
Your public broadcasting is worse because you're forced to pay into it directly, isn't that right?
Indeed, as long as you can freely stream content, why not just "cut the cable" as we say here in the US?
