Rochester area NPR and PBS dealing with congressional cuts to their budget of $1.9 Million

Congress has eliminated all public media funding — including the $1.9 million that WXXI was scheduled to receive this October.

Incredible community support has gone a long way toward making up that shortfall — but a $700,000 gap remains that must be filled by October 1.

One of the strategies to take over  a society by an autocrat is to control the media and to eliminate the sources of accurate information that undermine the autocrat's lies. We are seeing this happen in the US as the Republican administration attempts to intimidate and eliminate what they consider unfavorable sources of accurate reporting.
