#CPB helps fund both #PBS & #NPR, but most of its funding is distributed to more than 1,500 local #PublicRadio & #television stations around the country.
The corporation also has deep ties to much of the nation’s most familiar programming, from NPR’s “#AllThingsConsidered” to, historically, “#SesameStreet,” “#MisterRogers Neighborhood” & the documentaries of #KenBurns.
What a fun analysis of this classic Sesame Street song, performed originally by the Pointer Sisters. If you enjoy jazz or music analysis, or are just nostalgic for old Sesame Street, you'll enjoy this. And the host's excitement is contagious!

I may need to stop watching #SesameStreet and cartoons clips on YouTube

The Count from Sesame Street with large, colorful numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 behind him
Below him in small text it says" "1, 2. 3. 4 trillion dollars in tax cuts for the rich. O dollars for public broadcasting so kids won't understand how insane that number is."

editorial cartoon, looks like artist is Adam Zygus
a huge belipsticked pig labled "$4 trillion deficit" with some Republican applying the lipstick while saying "This is about eliminating gov't waste ..." while shoving PBS, specifically Sesame Street and Oscar the Grouch, and NPR into a trash can

10-min analysis:
#Trump fumes & threatens legal action over #EpsteinFiles and his crude, lewd drawing
Then kills billions in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting such as urgent announcements, news, & #SesameStreet
Also: how serious is his venous insufficiency?

Only Two Republicans Voted Against #Trump Defunding #SesameStreet
Senate #Republicans just took a wrecking ball to #PublicBroadcasting.
Malcolm Ferguson
July 17, 2025
"Only two Republican senators broke the line to vote against their party’s plan to defund the #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting.
"#Alaska’s #LisaMurkowski and #Maine’s #SusanCollins joined Senate Democrats in opposition to Republican cuts to organizations like PBS and NPR, and the smaller stations that they fund. While PBS and NPR would still continue at the national level, the cuts would likely devastate those local stations that rely on them.
"The Senate approved $9 billion dollars of cuts early Thursday morning, with $1.1 billion in cuts to public broadcasting and $8.8 billion from foreign aid programs like #USAID, which #ElonMusk’s #DOGE slashed earlier this year.
" 'The vast majority of this funding, more than 70 percent, actually flows to local television and radio stations,' Collins said last month during an earlier stage of the deliberation. 'In #Maine, this funding supports everything from #EmergencyCommunications in rural areas to coverage of high school basketball championships and [a] locally produced high school quiz show. Nationally produced television programs such as #AntiquesRoadshow, #DanielTigersNeighborhood, are also enjoyed by many throughout our country.'
" 'I understand … the concern about subsidizing the national radio news programming that for years has had a discernibly partisan bent,' she added.
'There are, however, more targeted approaches to addressing that bias at NPR than rescinding all of the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.' She backed up that thinking with her vote on Thursday morning, along with Murkowski."

... as it turns out the folks from R5 were knocking on my door just as I was setting up this shot: here's my new photo backpack and my new water bottle.
They had a bunch of abandoned water bottles at the Catherwood Library so I asked the clerk: "I work for an organization founded by Elmo Roper, can I have the bottle with Elmo?" and they gave it to me.
