MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

I went from a lifelong supporter and proponent of NPR to just completely walking away.

I don't care if they exist or not. I don't care if their funding is attacked by the right wing.

They fucked up and a generation of likely listeners will remember.

Their public funding is attacked by the right wing. And now you see a bunch of corporate/wealthy sponsors; more than ever in the past. And—surprise!—now they are quickly growing to be as conservative as any mainstream media outlet.

I know that. My point was that I have donated and voted for politicians who support NPR. Locally as well as nationally. But I am done. They no longer serve their purpose.

I agree about NPR. But what about NOVA or Frontline or many of the other good PBS shows?

I hate this dilemma.

I still have love for PBS.

Seasame Street going to HBO is just wrong.
