PBS is primarily broadcast.
Ignore them, turn them off, let them throw themselves into tantrums in a padded cell, to make America great will involve setting some rules, some discipline, if they cannot be realistic then we don’t have to listen to them.
Thanks for posting.

They are vehement because they are fighting for their existence - literally. With the internet and free social exchange, they have become more and more irrelevant.
It vexes them no end. Besides the financial gains from the chokehold the big three, three letters had on the American Market, their ideological bents ingrained in them in schools of higher ill-learning (liberal dogma)are waning. It wanes with each catcall, guffaw and belly laugh they get when they spout their stupid sh!t on TV, or worse in front of a live audience. They are in fact, irrelevant now. They just don’t know it.
Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, and Dan Rather are rightly relegated to the ash heap of journalism. It is time to put the rest of them out to pasture along with Katie Couric and little Georgia Stephanopolis and Jimmy Rivers.
Simply telling the truth is Conservative and radical.
Because it’s not liberal media. It’s Big Government media. That’s why it won’t die.
The word “liberal” today doesn’t mean what it’s supposed to mean.
The larger question in my mind is why the GOP continues to play by rules set by their opponents.
Concur on the affirmation part, and it works both ways. Obviously on the part of the audience, and its tribal tendencies have been noted often on FR. What is seductive to the purveyors, however, is influence and celebrity. That is much less the selling of a product than a sort of affirmation of an unhealthily bloated self image. Watch what happens to a print journalist when they offer him a byline, for example, or a broadcast who becomes the star of her own show. It isn’t often pretty.

The Leftist media won’t die becasue the Right keeps feeding them despite the warning signs that say “DON’T FEED THE ANIMALS!”.
Because the GOP likes things just the way they are.
Recently, Rush Limbaugh answered this question. He said that the way "cable bundling" of channels works, a channel does not need an audience to make money since each channel included in the "bundle" gets a cut.
The RNC sets the debates and agrees to the format. I’ve written Reince Priebus a couple letters about this format and offered suggestions. Not one word back in a form letter or even a response that we received your letter. They are immune to the base’s concerns or wishes. Priebus was duly embarrassed last night, but HE chose the moderators and the format. He shoulders the blame. He wants to expose the candidates to ridicule, hoping that the more conservative of them will flame out and let Jeb or one of the other establishment candidates take the lead. Priebus is establishment. I’d like to see the 3 talk show hosts mentioned by Cruz last night to Hannity set up a real debate after these mock lynchings are over.
As I mentioned in another post the media is THE issue.. or it should be.
It is the most powerful force in shaping our politics, culture and life. It must be exposed as the propanda organ that it is at every occasion.
Why do the Washington Generals play by the rules of the Harlem Globe Trotters?
(I can’t believe I just typed that).

I heard him on the radio last week bragging about being a republican.
