“…I propose…an American World Service…”, writes Bollinger. “A media institution with sufficient funding to bring the highest quality American journalism to the global forum.” And that “sufficient funding” will be provided by the federal government. From taxpayers.

This guy has never heard of "Voice of America"?

He's heard of them. He's just unhappy that they can't be used for internal propaganda.

The U.S. government's international broadcasters, like Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, were developed during the Cold War as tools of our anticommunist foreign policy. In a sign of how anachronistic our system is in a digital age, these broadcasters are legally forbidden from airing within the U.S.

I have a feeling that this guy would be crapping bricks if President Bush had put VP Cheney in charge of his new American World Service.

His students have no jobs, no chance at jobs.

if his school is useless for employement then there is no reason for the school to exist.
