Episode Details

Donald Trump has completely defunded public broadcasting — cutting off federal support for NPR, PBS, and over 1,500 local stations across America. In this episode, Bobby Jones breaks down the devastating impact of this decision on education, rural news, emergency alerts, and free access to trusted information. This is a deliberate blow to the last truly public space in American media. From Sesame Street to tribal radio, this funding loss will be felt everywhere — especially in communities already underserved by commercial media. Bobby also traces the history of right-wing attempts to gut public media, and why this latest move is more dangerous than ever.
