Accelerating the growing push for Tucker and Fox News to be taken off the air.

The taxpayer-funded national network PBS is pushing for less viewpoint diversity. No doubt intended to accelerate the growing push for Tucker and Fox News to be taken off the air. From the PBS Newshour, May 2, 2022

"Tucker Carlson’s influence and his increasingly extreme views" (Amna Nawaz interviews New York Times' Nick Confessore, who wrote the 4/30 "How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable"

Excerpts [emphases added]:

Nick Confessore: ... He's the highest rated cable show host in history.And it's also the most racist show in history. ... Every night, that show teaches fear and loathing. He may claim to be a person who opposes racism and prejudice, but what the show tells you every night is to be afraid, to be afraid of people who are in the street asking for police officers to not shoot Black people, be afraid of Afghan refugees who helped us in the war who are coming over here now, to be afraid of Dr. Fauci, and to be afraid of immigration in general, which he posits is part of a cabal, a plot to destroy Western civilization ...... it's not just the anti-white racism kind of rhetoric on the show. He's literally taking ideas that began on the very far right, on arcane corners of the Internet, on neo-Nazi sites ...

I know this is inconceivable, but don’t think “racist” means what they think it means.

There's a great talk show host in Boston (Howie Carr) who refers to NPR as “National Panhandler Radio”.

Yeah, “fringe” ideas like border security, law and order, the primacy of biological sex, and respect for the Constitution / Bill of Rights. Such radicalism!

PBS is my go to example of why just winning majorities doesn’t equate automatically to real change for conservatives.

We had all 3 branches and PBS was allowed to keep pushing their partisan left views on our dime. They should have been defunded in the first month.

Last time I listened to them was about 2 months ago and they were talking about the Jan 6 riots. They literally called all Trump supporters there radicals and hinted most conservative talk hosts should be banned (i think Mark Levine and Steve Bannon were specifically mentioned).

Of course not a word about any of the BLMTIFA riots in 2019 being radical.

Surely nina ‘scary poppins’ jackowitz, queen of the ministry of disinformation regulation, will be on this before long. And, just what is ‘dis/mis/mal-information? Whatever they say is. Remember, pedo joe has reminded us a few times that those pesky rights in the BOR aren’t absolute. Like the 13th and 19th amendments branDUHn? Those not absolute?

“Accelerating the growing push for Tucker and Fox News to be taken off the air.

So I guess we can only pay taxes and not have a say in how that money is spent.

I am proud to say I finally cut cable TV effective 5/2.

However, I am still paying Comcast/Xfinity for high speed internet. We found that the only thing we were actually watching on TV was the occasional sport show. Yes, I still watch the NFL, occasionally Red Sox, and certain Olympic skiing events. If I choose to watch either Tucker or Gutfeld, they are on YouTube typically within 12 hours of their broadcast. I may eventually install a digital antenna.

We can’t bear to watch sports anymore. College or pro. On any platform.

We’ve had it with all of them.

Rather than calling Tucker names why don’t they show alternative FACTS.

Of course they can’t do that because PBS doesn’t deal with facts - they deal with WOKE hatred for conservatives.

All the broadcasts of NPR and PBS except in the far west are made from state controlled facilities.

To get rid of these atrocities, Governors must act

When the pubbies get back in power, the taxpayers should immediately stop funding PBS, the commie mouth piece. Unfortunately, the pubbies don’t have the cajones.
