 BOTH CUT PUBLIC 

MEDIA TO 22 COUNTIES 

If you people who voted  for Trump thought he’d never screw your children or grand kids, you were wrong.

Plus he was enabled by two local Congressman who knelt before the wanna be king and did his bidding. Meuser is beyond redemption. He always underrepresented the needs of his district by voting AGAINST an infrastructure bill that included better internet access for rural communities. But I bet he’ll take credit for what the real President, Biden did for his people.

Bresenehan though confirmed the late Maya Angelou’s quote, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”.

With the passing of the outline for the Trump tax breaks for  billionaires, Bresnehan said it was just a blueprint. In Edition #5, 253, we even ran Bresnehan’s justification for his thoughts on the Trump plan. Unlike Meuser who can’t keep staff reportedly because of his entitled temperament, Bresnehan’s staff people, when in line with some priorities are cooperative.

But with this vote, Bresnehan has shown who he is. He will follow Trump unquestionably. By his vote he has deprived children in 22 counties early learning education. I guess millionaires want other people’s kids to be dumb, easy to manipulate you see. WVIA has a department of education that goes out to classrooms and EDUCATES. But that’s not important to a the two millionaires.

Now to be clear, I am not against millionaires. I even supported some Republican millionaires too. Loved Rockefeller and Romney (the dad) when I was a kid and thought the Scranton family never turned their backs on the middle class.

But these two…………..beyond hope.

If there is a 2026 election (watch these two closely because if Trump decides to cancel it, they’ll AGREE, WVIA should DROP their Congressional debates. These two were only too happy to appear on TV and spout their now confirmed lies for FREE coverage. But now, they decide Public Media is just not in the less than 1% budget. 

Meanwhile yesterday their lord and savior was hosting his military parade  and I bet they were cheering him like fifth grade majorettes at a mini football game.

WVIA has hope that the Senate will  override this cruelty, and maybe they will. But bottom line is they screwed their voters in plain sight.

You will hear Meuser on the Cordaro show whining with the late morning Mussolini and Breneshan will offer a justification but that is what snowflakes do.

In the meantime, here’s an article from The Voice.

Dan Meuser and Rob Bresnahan, the Republican congressmen from the Back Mountain in Luzerne County, both voted to eliminate $1.1 billion in federal funding for the next two years for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The House voted 214 to 212 Thursday to approve a rescissions package that also included slashing $8.3 billion to foreign aid programs.

WVIA Public Media receives approximately $1.2 million in annual federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is roughly 20% of its overall budget, WVIA president and CEO Carla McCabe said.

“This is a direct and unprecedented attack on public media. It’s no longer just political rhetoric or grandstanding — the threat is here. It’s happening now, and it’s at our front door,” McCable said in a statement on WVIA’s website. “If the Senate passes the bill, the funding will be eliminated immediately and permanently. That means cuts to trusted journalism, local programming, and educational content for the millions of residents in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania.”

WVIA-FM is a National Public Radio member affiliate owned by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Educational Television Association along with WVIA-TV, a Public Broadcasting Service affiliate. WVIA is based in Jenkins Twp. and serves more than 22 counties in northeastern and central Pennsylvania.

McCabe is urging viewers, listeners and supporters to help defeat the legislation by contacting their senators. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill in July.

 “If this funding is cut, local stations like WVIA could be forced to immediately reduce — or eliminate — the trusted local news, educational programs and resources, TV and radio programs, and emergency broadcasting services you rely on,” McCabe said.  “This vote is not just about dollars — it’s about the future of independent, locally-owned and operated public media like WVIA. We need your help right now.

The legislation to cut $9.4 billion is the first request by President Donald Trump to claw back money already approved through annual spending bills.

“Americans have a right to know where their taxpayer dollars are spent. The rescissions package does not end these programs, it merely works to eliminate the waste and abuse of American citizens’ tax dollars by the federal government,” Bresnahan, R-8, Dallas Twp., said in a released statement.

Okay Rob, where is the WASTE in this program? Is it education to kids? Is it local TV shows geared toward businesses development, the arts, medical needs, consumer information, the only local areas radio news team that covers you and Danny’s district?

Put up! WHERE’S THE WASTE.

And don’t you dare say it’s in the salaries or programs that other millionaire out of town owners have cut back on?

This is rich coming from you who supports the biggest grafter in American Presidential history. That parade yesterday cost 45 million dollars. That's not waste? That could have funded WVIA for the NEXT 45 YEARS! Plus, there's reason why we have Armed Forces Day in this country. Why not have a parade for ALL branches? 

Meuser, R-9, Jackson Twp., addressed the recissions package on the House floor Thursday.

” … why is the federal government still funding public television and radio when most people have hundreds of channels to get their news and information from? And these stations are some of the most partisan stations out there,” Meuser said. “Can you imagine, as I stated earlier, if a conservative station was funded? The left would have screamed, vilified and exterminated it a long while ago.”

No Dan, the left (and I have no idea who you think the left is) doesn’t have to scream and vilify  or  “exterminate” anything. You guys do that all the time by getting rid of Medicaid (nursing homes Dan) SNAP (food for poor people Dan) and now early education for kids via Public media.

According to a 990 tax filing for the fiscal year ending in June 2023, the nonprofit owner of WVIA reported nearly $6.1 in revenue and $7.4 million in expenditures. Revenue from contributions was $4.1 million, and investment income was $1 million.

The organization had 71 employees with five receiving compensation of more than $100,000. Employee salaries and benefits cost more than $3.4 million.

Trump asked lawmakers to rescind nearly $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which represents the full amount it’s slated to receive during the next two budget years. About two-thirds of the money gets distributed to more than 1,500 locally owned public radio and television stations.  (LuLac Citizens’ Voice)
