It finally happened

NBC News: "Trump's cuts to NPR, PBS and foreign aid clear Congress - The $9 billion package passed the House and the Senate with only Republican votes through the rarely used "rescissions" process. Trump is now expected to sign it into law."

I'm old enough to remember when Mitt Romney was raked over the coals for suggesting that the toy and merchandising powerhouse of Sesame Street maybe could pay for their own production costs.  And so after decades of threatened cuts that never materialized, I can understand why the Corporation for Public Broadcasting felt like they could continue their slide to the Left without any consequences.

Consequences are here.

Flashback - to the Uri Berliner piece that started this ball rolling: "I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust."
