With public broadcasting (PBS, NPR), we pay for it anyway, at the point of force. I want to shake leftists until their empty heads rattle, when they go on about right wing talk radio and Fox News. Those two small inroads, plus the internet, are all the right has, and none of it is taxpayer funded, yet on sites like DU they still go on about how they need to shut down the “bast right wing propaganda network). Not just oppose it, not just build their own market-based talk radio, etc (I know, they’ve tried, and keep bombing), but shut our few little inroads down. And Fox isn’t even conservative.
That just shows that they know that their ideas aren’t winning, or they wouldn’t try to shut down opposing ideas instead of trying to counter them, and they already have all the msm and academia. Plus, as I said, taxpayer-funded sources. That irritates the crud out of me. Those need to be taken off the government teat, since they are biased to the left. Why should conservatives have to pay for our own opposition?
