a man driving a tractor on a dirt road with a roof that says ' new holland ' on it Alt: A view from inside a car driving down a red dirt road shows a person on an old tractor just ahead, slowly leading the way. The tractor has a white canopy that reads “Massey Ferguson.” Lush green fields and trees line both sides of the road under a pale blue sky.

Demolish rural & working-class access to facts.

Most local stations that relied on CPB weren’t elite urban studios—they were rural lifelines.

Now?

Silence.

a group of sesame street characters standing next to each other . Alt: A cheerful group of beloved Sesame Street characters—including Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie, Grover, Abby Cadabby, and others—huddle together and sway joyfully against a plain white background. The image radiates warmth, diversity, and childhood nostalgia.

Eliminate non-commercial, public-interest voices.

PBS, NPR, and local affiliates air dissenting views, educational content, and facts that don’t serve state power or corporate profit.

a man sitting in front of a computer with the words " can 't stop the signal " Alt: A scene from the sci-fi film Serenity shows the character Mr. Universe sitting at his control station, speaking with conviction. The overlaid quote reads: “Can’t stop the signal, Mal.” The image symbolizes resistance, free speech, and the unstoppable power of truth.

Why Defunding Public Broadcasting Is a Fascist Move:

Control the narrative.

Fascist regimes always attack independent media first—because controlling what people hear is controlling what they believe.

This is yet another reason why PBS is awesome. I had a question about teachers in the 1800s; this answered it, and more. #Education #TeachingInAmerica
