PBS, NPR Taking Trump to Court Over Federal Funding

Bob Jersey <bobj...@ptd.net>: Jun 03 07:08PM -0700 *Le gros orange* sends the budget proposal to (among other things) rescind the networks', and their stations', funding for 2026 and '27, to the legislature following the actions: https://deadline.com/2025/06/trump-pbs-npr-funding-1236421764/ (link) B   Mark Jeffries, May 31st:   Following a similar suit made by NPR a few days ago, the public TV network is also suing the Trump Administration over the executive order calling for curtailing federal funding, saying that the executive order is illegal (Congress must approve all appropriations) and it is violating the First Amendment rights of the network:   https://www.thewrap.com/pbs-sues-trump-administration-push-to-defund/   They also add that the examples of alleged "radical left Democrat party bias" given in the order only represent a small portion of PBS' programming.

Okay, you can finally cut the cord

Jim Ellwanger <trai...@ellwanger.tv>: Jun 03 12:52PM -0700 First-run episodes of "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune" will be available for next-day streaming on both Hulu and Peacock, beginning with their new seasons in September. The article also says "library episodes of the shows will also be available," but no word on how many (for "Jeopardy!", it might just be the same selection of old episodes that's been making the rounds within the past few years).   https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/wheel-of-fortune-jeopardy-stream-hulu-peacock-september-1236417105/ ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ ‘Jeopardy’ to Stream Next Day for the First Time Starting This September, on Peacock and Hulu variety.com

Jon Delfin <jond...@gmail.com>: Jun 03 06:11PM -0400 I'm sorry, that should be "What is much rejoicing?" (or for some of us, what is all the fuss?)

"King of the Hill" reboot greenlighted at Hulu

Marti Lawrence <martil...@gmail.com>: Jun 02 07:33PM -0700 God, that was a horrible thing. They burned his house down with dogs inside, then while he and his husband were standing outside grieving, this idiot screamed homophobic slurs at him and shot him. It is tragic that there is so much hate in this world.   ~Marti   On Monday, June 2, 2025 at 5:40:53 PM UTC-5 Bob Jersey wrote:
