Public broadcasting’s $1.1B federal lifeline rewards inefficiency while rural stations claim dependency. The Carla Walker Act (H.R. 10393) proves emergency alerts could be handled by modernized systems at 1/10th the cost. WBEZ’s $3M annual CPB cut represents X% of its budget—hardly existential.

If local programming matters, viewers should fund it directly instead of forcing taxpayers in Wyoming to subsidize Chicago’s NPR station. Real public safety starts with border security, not propping up legacy media empires.

Durbin’s outrage ignores the XX% of WBEZ’s budget untouched by these cuts—maybe they should audit their consulting contracts before crying poverty.
