Trump Summons TV Figures for Private Meeting, and Lets Them Have It

They probably all went in full of cocky, self-assurance and smug elitism.

I saw coverage of a few of them entering. The looks on their faces were "Wow, Santa Claus invited US to his workshop! Whee!" I guess it turned out to be Santa's woodshed instead.

I think you’re too optimistic. This is a deeply ingrained problem that took decades to create and is not swiftly remedied.

Exactly.

He and his Stalinist wife Schmoopy were probably wailing at home. He did have a look of horror on his face on tv after the tide turned to Trump, though.

Perhaps you're too much a defeatist, fieldmarshaldj. Furthermore, you presented no idea to refute my suggestions concerning next year's conversion of the PBS/NPR alloted bandwidths into immediate and direct shared access points for use by the Trump Administration and under the control of the Trump Administration. Your posting that it would be too hard to do and would take decades is a limp and lame response, fieldmarshaldj. And not true either.

No need for a hostile reply. I was not offering a refutation of your points/suggestions because I don’t oppose or disagree with them. I merely state that this is a deeply ingrained problem with the entire industry - which goes far beyond PBS, I mean the entire “journalistic culture”, from those within it to those in training at colleges/universities. They train them as propagandists for the left (and if by chance you’re trying to break into the profession and don’t subscribe to said biases and agenda, the likelihood is that you will be summarily shut out of the “mainstream media”).

Frankly, where PBS/NPR are concerned, it may be better to just cut them loose from government subsidizing (which shouldn’t be in the business of subsidizing anything beyond what the Constitution specifies). Let them secure their own source of revenue in the private sector.

Sorry. My mistake. I thought there was call for a firm response to your unhelpful post.

BTW, you are encouraged to develop a flexibility regarding the matter of PBS/NPR modifications in 2017. When the new has come, the old is passing away.
