You Can Rent An Underground Cave To Escape From Election News

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. People who'd like to hide away until the election is over have that option. Hotels.com has a deal - you can book a stay in a man-made cave 50 feet underground in New Mexico. A photo of the cave shows a furnished living room, floor lamps, plenty of carpets and a well-made bed. A promotion says it's for people who want to escape election news, although the ad does not exactly make it clear if the cave has good Internet. It's MORNING EDITION.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
