Radio Free TrumpistanDear @KALW --Last night on Tangents I heard an opinion that losing $300K in federal dollars would not mean that you would go off the air although smaller public stations might. Sorry, but that's only half of your problem: the other half is licensing. When Trump is hell bent on shutting down public broadcasters, don't you believe that his FCC won't hunt you down too.<br><a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPR</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=PRI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PRI</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=PBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PBS</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FCC</span></a>
