With PBS shutting down after losing federal funding and the administration threatening broadcast licenses, the possibility of compromised communications isn’t hypothetical anymore.
PBS is not shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting which handled disbursing federal funding to local PBS stations has shut down. PBS handles national program distribution for public television. Federal money to run local stations came from CPB. PBS distributes shows like NOVA, Nature, and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood to local area stations.
It's been strange not hearing "...brought to you by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting..." before shows on PBS.
Not to be confused with Bitch@, the new AI app which encourages excessive bitching and moaning about anything and everything 😏
Nah, fuck Jack Dorsey.
