The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will be closing down by the end of the year following the passage of a rescissions package earlier this month. My team and I are still figuring out what this announcement will mean for Alaska Public Media, but rest assured... that I will not back down when it comes to public broadcasting. When I return home this month, I will spend time with public broadcasters across the state to assess their needs and chart a path forward. The programming and emergency alerts these stations provide to communities throughout Alaska are vital, and I won’t give up until they receive the support they need.show more

You literally voted for this.

You voted for the bill that caused this. You no longer have any credibility.

This is all your fault, Lisa. Go screw yourself.

Will some people from Alaska please weigh in here and let us know how you are planning to survive without public broadcasting?! I'm worried for you guys! You need a plan!

Your “I’m too stupid to understand these things” schtick is over…go to hell along with every other Republican that got us into this shit. Your legacy will be that you stood still and “concerned” as America was destroyed.

Lisa Murkowski, you've been caught with your claws in the proverbial cookie jar. @DOGE @DataRepublican @T_Q_Gardner @Alladdin1983 @SenateGOP @GOPoversight @potus @realDonaldTrump

This is what happens when you vote with your party, Lisa. This is nothing but evil. It truly is. And it’s about more than JUST Alaska. Most of the GOP actually give a single fuck who they’re representing. Maybe you do, but that’s not how you vote. This is what your vote means. No emergency notifications to rural areas. No free educational cartoons to children who can’t afford cable. No nature shows. Just stupidity and compliance.

YOU VOTED FOR THIS!! This was your fault!!

Oh boy. Didn’t you vote for this?

Should have figured out what it meant before you voted for it

Quit with the bear shit. You are the sole reason for this happening. You're sanctimonious babble is simply a lie. You're trying to figure out how to lie to people while you look like you care is disgusting. Drop the act and own it. You gave the middle finger to public radio.

Oh boy you already screwed the American People with the BBB! Hmmmm! Stop acting like you care!

You know longer get a voice or a seat at the table. You voted on that Big Bullshit Bill and in it, should you have read it, told you this would happen. You sold out for literally nothing. You can sit in your in your Senate chair and rot until you are voted out in 2028! You did this to yourself.

When did it become just "my state" rather than the people of this country. Public Broadcasting is needed by all states. You folks make me disgusted.

Stop bitching about the bill you voted for. This is all ON YOU. 🖕🏻

You voted to defund public broadcasting. What are you talking about?

Go fuck yourself.

Then why did you vote for it @lisamurkowski have your staffer explain this one

This is what you get when you vote with your party of Trumpsimps

They’ve been eliminated. You should know that “senator.” You voted on it.

Too late honey. The barn doors can be closed, but the horses are long gone. This will be just one instance of the many times you've failed Alaska voters.

She voted for the bill that gutted the CPB folks, she's completely full of shit.

I’m sure you are “concerned” and will do absolutely nothing about it because you only care about your donors and not your constituents. You gaslight Alaskans everyday and only care about power. You are a disgrace!

You voted for this without knowing how it may negatively impact your constituents? That is reckless. 😬

Is this 1910???? Wanna keep ancient public broadcasting fund it yourself.

Maybe if they weren’t funding propaganda they wouldn’t be closing their doors.

You and the Republicans are destroying anything good that existed in our federal government. You all are ENABLERS. Trump is a PEDOPHILE and unhinged individual. We want the UNREDACTED Epstein Files.

According to community notes and your voting record, you contributed to their announced closure. Your team should have researched before voting for the rescissions package, especially since the funds are being used to harm the public and build an unwanted ballroom.

Alaska’s public stations shouldn’t need federal handouts to survive. The rescission bill targeted NPR’s biased urban programming, not rural emergency alerts—yet D.C. bureaucracy lumps them together. If Murkowski wants local content preserved, she should push to redirect existing state resources instead of begging Congress to revive a bloated $1.1B CPB slush fund. Emergency comms are already funded separately. Real solution? Decentralize broadcasting, cut NPR’s activism pipeline, and let communities fund what they value without DC middlemen skimming 40% off the top. See how the numbers and policy details expose the real winners and losers:

You voted for this because you were afraid of a mean social media post from the Flatulent Fuhrer.

Yeaaaaa just a little too late for that. Radio/public broadcasting-dependent local and rural communities in Alaska are probably something you should have thought about when you decided to bend the knee to an autocrat aspirant. So you did both, and screwed your constituency. Nice!

That’s why we told you not to vote for the bill and you did anyway. There’s no way you can talk your way out of this one.

You voted for this !

I do not want to pay for leftist radio programs in Alaska that only have 5 people listening. Go get Alaskans to waste their own money or write a check yourself.
