Trump Defunds Sesame Street, Replaces It With PragerUās History Remix
Congress just dropped a $1.1 billion bomb on PBS and NPR, forcing a brutal 21% budget cut for PBS. As PBS president Paula Kerger said, 'we all face hard choices about the future,' which apparently means layoffs and less 'Sesame Street' without federal pence in the pot. Meanwhile, Trump's crew isn't just calling public media biasedāthey're teaming up with PragerU, turning PBSās classic's into what feels like a rewrite by a history teacher who forgot the 'facts' portion of their job. Because who doesn't want their kids learning that slavery and racism 'aren't so bad'?

Nothing screams 'fair and unbiased' like defunding PBS and NPR, then handing over education to the folks who think slavery wasnāt that bad. So let me get this straight: We kill honest news, then make propaganda kids' content? Bravo, democracy. Bravo.
Oh, Iām sorry, did I miss the part where 'cutting funding for public media' magically produces unbiased news? Thatās like defunding firefighters so they can learn to put out actual fires with good vibes and hope.
Watching Congress gut PBS while cozying up to PragerU is like replacing your chef with a guy who thinks salt is racist and ketchup is a conspiracy.
