PBS & NPR: SOL

Public broadcasting, once the only radio & television media who offered airtime to liberal causes, have been overtaken by the Neocon propagandists. As Buzzflash put it:
Right Wing Corporation for Public Broadcasting Chariman Now is Taking Steps to Make NPR a Subsidiary of the Bush Propaganda Machine. And Who Says the Comparisons to the Busheviks, Rove and Goebbels Were Over the Top? At Media Reform Conference, Bill Moyers Revealed Tomlinson Paid a Consultant $10,000 to Watch "Now" and Report Anything Considered Liberal Bias Back to Tomlinson. That's Our Money He's Wasting in His Totalitarian Efforts. Now Ombudsman, Like Soviet Minders, Will Watch Over NPR. Fascism Creeps Up on You, Doesn't It? Until One Day You Realize the Line Has Been Crossed and Democracy is Dead. We Are All Frogs Just Slowly Being Boiled Into a One-Party Franco/Stalin Style State.
Here is the story.

The day may come, truthseekers, when those of us who still believe in freedom and democracy will be driven completely underground. The loss of public radio and television is a tough blow. We are constantly amazed, but we are not defeated.

You'll know it is time to stop contributing/supporting NPR when they take Jim Hightower off the air and replace him with...well, they will probably just stop him from getting time on air.
