PBS and NPR are not enough. It's never enough for these people. Progressives must have total control. There must not be any dissent or opposing views.

[BenLurkin]

What need is there for this? What Constitutional authority is there for this?

Why are my tax dollars being diverted to this?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Law reforms? Don’t they mean Executive Orders?

[ProgressingAmerica]

It’s the Committee on Public Information and the Office of War Information all over again.

[BenLurkin]

"...danger in how far the government will get involved in programming decisions, and if those decisions will be influenced by party politics is yet to be seen

No need to wait --- you can count on this being a 'Rat party propaganda machine. Count on it.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Just like PBS and NPR.. We SHOULD BE Defunding them ALL, not create MORE.

[ProgressingAmerica]

Unfortunately, we have Congress to thank for this.

Specifically, representatives Thornberry of Texas and Smith of Washington.

Coming soon to your TeeeeeVeeeee:

[Buckeye McFrog]

Boy, and just when you thought the Congresscritters could not get any more stupid.

Though in practice, not much different than the string of 8 to 10 pro-Big Government PSA’s that my local affiliate runs during breaks in The Mark Levin Show.

It’s for the War on Terror - according to Obama that’s over

From the article shared:

Davis stated that the effective repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act is a strategic move in influencing U.S. public perception in regards to the Global War on Terror (GWOT).

He cites Colonel Richard B. Leap, who recommends that lawmakers “specifically address all prior legislation beginning with the Smith-Mundt Act that is limiting the effectiveness of Information organizations in the GWOT environment.”

[Buckeye McFrog]

It’s for the War on Terror

"Hi, I'm George Clooney. Did you know that encouraging your neighbors to sign up for the Federal WIC and SNAP programs will make them 38% less likely to engage in terrorism?"

"Hi, I'm Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Like me, you are no doubt worried about our National Parks becoming training grounds for international terrorists, because they are so badly underfunded."

so the communist coupe in America continues and the narcissistic traitors in congress stand complicit!

[Paine in the Neck]

Welfare for collaborationist third rate actors, directors, producers, studio union thugs, etc., producing propaganda for the Main Committee for Political Enlightenment (Glavpolitprosvet). Are they going to dig up Nadezhda Krupskaia (Mrs. Lenin) to run it? She ran the original.

[Cowman]

what would happen in a sane world

[Old Sarge]

the Main Committee for Political Enlightenment (Glavpolitprosvet).

[RobinOfKingston]

Federally sponsored programming is already all over (at least) AM radio. You can hear ads for all manner of feral agencies.

[Fresh Wind]

For now, at least, watching those programs will be voluntary.

In time, that will change.

[VRW Conspirator]

programs produced by the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

Who came up with this name, George Orwell or Aldous Huxley?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Next will be an FCC policy decision to require all broadcast license holders to carry it on a weekly basis (like Mexico’s Hora Nacional)

[Excellence]

Especially the department of health and human services.
