I think I have an idea for getting NPR to pay attention to folks like us - storm the Capitol (METAPHORICALLY, folks - metaphorically!!!) and make Congress defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, thereby eliminating a partially hidden leg of support for NPR (and PBS).

I know, I know - “What about Masterpiece Theatre and Rick Steve’s Europe?” Make them go the way of Sesame Street. HBO saw the value of that show and bought it to broadcast on their network, right? With cable outlets and - ta-daaaaah - THE INTERNET, these programs are pretty much available to everyone in America, anyway.

Get rid of the CPB - it’s pretty much the liberal version of Radio Free Europe for Americans, now, and what purpose does it serve anymore?

i dunno, even Rick Steve has been getting to be a little much on his travel advice with a touch of a "Greta" slant.

Npr tries to be subtle. Or is it subliminal. Sick of it.

Yes,I'm looking forward to the MAGA Rick Steves to come along. You will get all that cultural,anthropological,historical context plus where all the monster truck shows are! Win,win!!

It is way too much to ask, but Rick Steves being "unmasked" would give me a chuckle all the way to my deathbed.
