Can the NAB be DOGE'd of our tax $$$$$?
« on: May 28, 2025, 1500 UTC »
My dumb question of the week. Does the National Association of Broadcasters, (NAB), take in any funding from the federal government? And, if so, can that be DOGE'd out? If, they are a 501C6 non-profit organization, let them fund themselves. Hey, NPR and PBS are getting slashed of tax $$$$, so it would seem that the NAB should be looked at next. I understand that they have their offices right next to the FCC in Washington. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Broadcasters    Thought that this might give a clue, but not from what I see here.    https://nabpac.com/2023/default.asp    Anyway, the question is asked.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

The NAB is a lobbying organization for commercial broadcasters. Given that, I don't think it would be allowed for them to receive government funding.
I don't STRETCH the truth.
