these cuts go in line with the cuts for public education funding, the elimination of music, athletics, art classes, the death of any shred of culture this country has. NPR isn't perfect but defunding it won't save the country a goddamn cent.

NPR is not the bastion of culture that it touts it is. new britain CT's polish community is, the appalacian moonshine-running celts are, the midwest family farmers, and their housewives that cook the same dishes that have been in the family for generations are, etc. im sick of the misuse of the word "culture." NPR might tell you that X tribe in Y sewer trench of a country does this or that, but it doesnt mean a thing to any of us listening when our towns turn into stripmalls, farmland gets stripped of its topsoil and replaced with a housing development, and if you're white, forget about expressing your culture. thats racist. can NPR, end the FCC and let our media de-centralise and for the patchwork of communities here to set up their own smaller powered stations. if you wanna save culture in america, you first have to allow for the open and free expression of it. the FCC allows corperate interests and NPR run the show. NPR is guilty of killing culture here just as much as clearchannel communications. they have and will fight tooth and nail to keep low powered community radio stations off the air
