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 ...

Defund them, immediately. A publicly funded broadcaster is bad enough, a publicly funded broadcaster calling for censorship of a privately owned broadcaster is absolutely unacceptable.

The left has wanted to get rid of him for a long time. He has a big following, and says it like it is. Their mind is fixated on destroying anyone who disagrees with their agenda, and they plan to eliminate them with biden’s new DGB.

I was right when I said 20 years ago that PBS should be defunded over a few years so they can be funded solely from their Leftist viewership and Lefty millionaires.

Tucker is easily the #1 show on cable TV. He’s not going anywhere.

When Carlson starts breaking big news damaging to Deep State, give me a ping.

It's way past time for him to talk about the stolen election. Bet he never mentions '2000 mules' on his show.

PBS is in a constant state of agitation. Imagine a 5-year-old constantly pushing the spin cycle on a washing machine, and there you have PBS.
