1778: Three Holes One Bag
Public Radio Funding, American Coalition for Public Radio, Rescissions Package
The House of Representatives approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media. The American Coalition for Public Radio (ACPR) has launched a campaign urging listeners to oppose the rescissions, claiming the 1% funding cut poses an existential threat to local stations. Critics argue the reaction is hyperbolic given the small percentage of federal support involved.
