I enjoy a lot of PBS and NPR programs, but it is weird AF to me that people want the government to subsidize the media.
The job of the media is to hold the government to account. They can’t do that if they’re funded by the government.
If people appreciate this media, they can pay for it, like they already do with their tax dollars. I see no reason why people need to be taxed so we can have NPR.

Can’t do that either if the government is bought by corpos, and the media is also owned by corpos. Although I suppose that it’s kind of strange they didn’t co-opt PBS and NPR into spreading propaganda for them instead of just shutting it down. I guess they have enough of that already.

Gotta get all that media to have corporate sponsorship and be filled with ads “for the children”

Yeah gotta give all that ‘welfare’ to amazon and big oil. With a little bit to farmers to not grow crops.
