Second thought about publicly funded media: The overwhelming majority of their kitty is still donor funding. They make a lot of noise when "Big Bird" is on the chopping block, but all that would happen is stations in the middle of nowhere get shut down.
Makes me wonder how the content will be affected, especially if NPR bends the knee. If it makes a noticeable difference, that will be a telling sign about how much outsized influence these DEI positions had over news content funded on the public dime.
