where it would go.

I will NOT give one penny, one cent to fund "Tucker Carlson's Unfiltered", a piece of shite befouling PBS right now. No way, no how. Fuck that.

Does anyone work for PBS? Can a donor let them know where you want your pledge dollars to go?

PBS is a pretty good resource, for the most part. "Now with Bill Moyers" is a terrific show.

1. Call in during the pledge break and let them know
why you are NOT contributing.

Be polite. The person on the phone is a volunteer. But if enough of us do it, PBS will get the message and hopefully drop wingnut shows that they think they're running in the name of "balance."

2. If its possible
where you live, give money instead to your local community radio station. There is a difference between public and community radio stations. Both are non-commerical but one is often attached to a university or funded by a foundation (public). The other (community) is truly independent and could use your help. For those of you living north of Seattle, try 90.7 KSER for example at www.kser.org
