The White House is planning to ask Congress to claw back more than $1 billion slated for public broadcasting in the United States, according to two people briefed on the plan, a move that could ultimately eliminate almost all federal support for NPR and PBS.
When you find yourself on the other side from Big Bird, Mr. Rogers, and Captain America, you need to do some serious reevaluation.
With the news of younger generations (around the world even) aligning themselves with right wing thinking, I wouldn’t be surprised if these icons aren’t all labeled as some kind of wimps. To be dunked on all day without really knowing what they’re talking about let alone a solution for the things these programs tackled. And, they’re letting the worst people destroy it all (some of them are literal rapists)!

Apparently that’s a debunked myth. Besides, he was born in 1928 which would have made him old for that war.
None of these things would matter though. A common thread simply seems to be a hatred toward empathy and those who espouse it. These were kind people and worthy causes. Primed to be destroy by these goons.
