Same, NPR, PBS and ProPublica I don't want to lose sources that still do real journalism.

I added NPR and PBS to my monthly donation list as well. I wonder how many others will contribute what they can now thanks to this investigation?

They've been going after public media since Nixon. Of course, it would hit their key demographic--rural areas--the hardest, who rely on public media for things like emergency alerts. Not to mention public media is the only source of local quality journalism for a lot of places.

But who cares about all that when we can let Sinclair Broadcasting take over and get rid of all that "woke" stuff?
