Last year, under the proposal of Trump Administration, Congress prevents the public to broadcast American networking in the tune of $ 1.1 billion. Trump and his chronicles force the stations that “awaken” garbage should be removed. In particular, the maga throws the hatred of the NPR, with trumpets acolytes like Marjorie Taylor Greenor moronicly accuses the program “Communist.”

Thanks for their donor networks, outlets like NPR and PBS still together together, now. But many of the hundred other public stations have long relied on public funds is in the crisisWhile they are looking for new income streams and funds.

Today, a good Samaritan is throwing up to try to fill the fund’s gap. The organization behind Iconic Peperter Bob Ross announced a series of auctions in his works, and the revenues distributed public tv channels. Joan Kowalski, President of Bob Ross Inc., The painter describes As someone with “his life is dedicated to accessing everything.” He added: “This subaste ensures that his heritage continues to support the medium leading his joy and creativity to American homes for decades.”

The first auction, which occurs in Los Angeles next month, engage in three of Ross paints, while additional auctions follow other cities around the world, Associated Press reports. All profits from auctions then distribute to public stations to help them pay for licensing fees, outlet notes.

Ross is a long-time television staple. His program, The joy of paintingmade and laid out in public stations between 1983 and 1994. The show shows viewers to teach Ross how to paint an attractive, low-fi setting.

It’s not clear how far some bob ross paintings go to filling the gaping financial like left in the federal defundin storming, but I think it’s better than nothing.

Public programs long gives an important service to Americans (before it is privatized and moved to HBO, Sesame Street Spent four decades of PBS), and the attack on them is another example of a conservatism with the basis of lost on the railroads. Of course, Trump and his friends have a choice of sight for the future of American media. Yes, the swelling wants a future where the children of our country educated in Pragerua private media org funded by billionaireswhose builder, Dennis Pruger, Once Complained that it is “idiotic you can’t say n-word.”
