NJN is a joke and that's the best place for budget cuts. It should be sold as WNYC was. We can get our local news from News 12 instead, which operates without any taxpayer support, unlike the millions we fork over for Corzine's version of Pravda.
not a bad idea but...
only like 8 people get news 12. talk patriot media/comcast, etc. into carrying news 12 and i'd be happy to see njn disappear.
