There's a new short-term program beginning on WNYC radio, called "Indivisible," a national call-in program four evenings a week, that apparently hopes to encompass conservatives as well as liberals, to discuss Trump's first 100 days.

Tonight should be interesting: Brian Lehrer and Michael Moore.

Well, that should ensure the end of NPR funding.

And do you feel similarly about the far greater number of right-wing programs?

I listened to several episodes of The United States of Anxiety on NPR. There were anti- and pro-trump people calling in.

NPR gets a tiny percentage of funding from the feds. I think most people who listen to it would gladly up their support if trump de-funds them.

That alone is reason to defund it. If they don't need it, and privet money will support it, the government should be out of it.

NPR is actually politically neutral. The problem with conservatives is the truth has a liberal bias. They prefer their own doctored, massaged and manipulated version, as presented by FOX News and the host of other programs they have available for their "alternative facts".

Frontline has been running some excellent programs of late, and this is overall my favorite PBS program. I don't want partisanship, I only want the truth. Tune in tonight:

Yes, any public paid agency should NEVER be partisan... liberals have a history of doing it...
