Who Goes in the "Basket of Deplorables"?

Connecticut Public Radio

Published September 13, 2016 at 3:24 PM EDT

Since last week's Wheelhouse, we had one candidate learn where Aleppo is, we heard one candidate refer to a "basket of deplorables," and we learned the same candidates campaign had been hiding a pneumonia diagnosis.

We also got a ruling on a major lawsuit over state education funding that's going to have the state scrambling to find answers. This hour, all that and so much more.

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.
