JUST SAY NO AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Public media executives, in the meantime, are bracing for impression. A planning doc obtained by the Instances warns that if Congress approves the cuts, the fallout could be “akin to an asteroid striking without warning.”

“It is the highest risk scenario,” the memo learn, “especially in a time in which the media ecosystem is rapidly changing.”
