Ever notice how the loudest voices calling for the defunding of PBS and NPR usually belong to people who could have most benefited from public broadcasting's myriad contributions to early education, literacy and the promotion of critical thinking?
This is not expressly a dig at Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. who, among her many great achievements, is famous for opining "If you vote for gun control, you are not on the side of Ameirca [sic]" and "Im[p]each Biden." The GOP lawmaker is merely one conservative voice reacting to the Public Broadcasting Service's and National Public Radio's announced intention to abandon Twitter.
