Layoffs On Sesame Street: The Defunding of Public Broadcasting
You may remember the time Elmo pulled out his iPhone to tweet us a simple question, “How are you doing?”—and what followed was a collective mental breakdown from the PBS-raised generation. The kids are not okay.
Public media—the last pure thing in this capitalist hellscape—is under attack. Sesame Street? Struggling. NPR? Slashing staff. PBS? Holding on by a pledge drive. Elmo might be next in line at the unemployment office. Big Bird’s got a resume on Indeed. Oscar the grouch is still living in a trash can.
So, today on the E-List we’re breaking down the role of public media, what happens if we lose it, and how to chase sunny days again, so show me how to get to The E-List.
