SEN. KENNEDY: WE SHOULD STOP WASTING TAXPAYER MONEY FUNDING MEDIA

“I don't want taxpayer money to subsidize any form of media.

We spend half a billion dollars a year giving money to public TV and public radio.

Why are we subsidizing them but not other forms of media?

We all know what public radio and public TV are like today: They run from slightly communist to very communist.

Now, they're entitled to their point of view.

But why do taxpayers have to pay for it?

And I would say the same thing if they weren't communist, if they were to the right.

I just don't think the government has the money to waste anymore.

We never did.

We couldn't stop it under President Biden, but we're going to stop it under President Trump.”
