A stupid and futile gesture

Columbia Journalism Review: "The NPR and Colorado Stations That Took Trump to Court - “It isn’t just an affront to localism. It’s an attempt to reengineer thought.”

You can "reengineer thought" all you want, chief.  Just don't do it on my dime.
By Shepperd’s estimation, 6 to 8 percent of public radio stations will fail in the next three years—still fewer than the 15 percent he originally expected, since many stations have, in the wake of the funding cuts, experienced surges in philanthropic giving.
Oh, so you didn't need federal funding.

Only 6 to 8% NPR stations going out of business?
