Goodbye NPR

[orangecrush]

Listening over breakfast, and imagining how nostalgic it will be when it is replaced with right wing hate jocks or syndicated sports or endless repeating satellite music loops.

1. Yep. they will either eliminate or make fair and balanced nt

[orangecrush]

2. Most likely

Comcast.

Syndicated sports networks, like they did with WABC in NYC, or "adult contemporary" satellite stations that play the same loop of songs every few hours.

3. They can try to do that, but...

In the end, The American people decide if the information they are given, pans out.

4. Hope you're right

5. Get a short wave radio.

Find independent news sources from outside the US (or inside). It's take a little practice. It's like we could be the ones behind the iron curtain now. Just be prepared in case. I have been doing this for years just for fun. Now it could become serious.

6. I still have a receiver...

That has a few bands, I relied on it for news when I was up in the wild where there was no reception for AM or FM. Guess I'll start using it again.

I have had to turn off the NPR news, started doing that earlier this year, it's become too bias toward the rightwing autocratic view.

8. I know what you mean about NPR

There has been a lot of fear among even MSM editors over the outcome of the election. It came in waves. I watched NYT editorial board admit they were afraid to post anti Trump messages in replies to comments, but then turn around and blast the hell out of him in an editorial board statement on their front page and offered free shares to spread it. They are human, too. I think they, as well as most of us, have to learn a new thing. It's called getting a set of balls. Americans haven't had to do this on our own soil and among our own since the civil war.

7. Try Radio Garden, it's live radio, around the world

9. I'll look into it. :)

10. Funny you should mention that

I have a ham license.

Talked to the Azores from Western Pa. on 10 meters yesterday.

And I have a metric shit ton of shortwave receivers.

I knew they'd come in handy some day.

11. It became polluted by industries a decade ago. Same time it stopped

Being free. Not much left to lose.
