Donald Trump celebrated the cuts on Truth Social, saying, “THIS IS BIG!!!”
And now, a picture from the outside of PBS station WGBH in Boston is going viral on Reddit:
“Local. Trusted. Defunded.”
“Short and to the point,” one person said.
“Way to go WGBH! Don’t pretend this is normal and don’t be silent. Make them wear this forever,” another person commented.
And this person said they were, “Canceling Paramount+ , subscribing to PBS Passport. Easy. Done.”
Other people eulogized the station: “RIP PBS. You taught us to be good people.”
Another person replied to that comment, saying, “They will be around still, they know they just need to make it another 3.5 years if we have a fair election.”
And then a bunch of people highlighted all of the good things WGBH has done over the years, “WGBH, especially WGBH, has done so much good for the country and it’s children over the decades. If you weren’t already on high alert and ready to go to the mat with these fuckers, here’s your sign.”
This person pointed out that WGBH was home to Julia Child’s cooking series The French Chef, “WGBH gave us Julia Child… for that, we owe them a debt that can never be paid.”
And this person said WGBH provides closed captioning for mainstream shows, “In addition to the mass amount of public radio and public television broadcasting produced at WGBH, they also provide closed captioning for many commercial programs as well.”
And for their part, WGBH commented on the thread: “Still here.”
