  • Off the top of my head I don’t know if PBS (likely the same as NPR) but NPR is not funded by fucking Congress!!! You fucking idiots don’t know what Congress does or does not fund. NPR gets grants from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which LBJ signed into law. CPB only accounts for 1% of NPR’s annual budget.

    If the dumbass wants something legitimate to complain about, then complain about what CPB gives grants for.

    EDIT: I realize the article mentions CPB, and I clearly wrote this before reading it. My point stands. Congress does not allocate any money directly to either NPR or PBS. If these cultural institutions are going to be attacked by clueless people, someone better be explaining what they got wrong.

    No, and that is based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfar which people thought was a rip off of Project Haily Mary by Andy Weir (which I read and loved). When the trailer for Spaceman was released, Weir had to go on social media and tell fans Spaceman of Bohemia was published before his novel.

    EDIT: I did not read Spaceman of Bohemia.
