Add this one which sums it up pretty well:

Why should normal, decent and good people fund propaganda that calls for their demise?

There was a story on npr several years ago highlighting somebody who I think was a writer. The point is this writer advocated pedophilia. I wish I could remember the details.

The article leaves out the fact that the American and almost ALL new Brit series are complete WOKE CRAP and unwatchable, even the other shows, especially for children, are filled with WOKE propaganda.

The Saturday movies are usually those old ones that TCM has already shown to DEATH!

Then throw in the "documentaries", which are just about 90% ( but usually higher ) lefty propaganda.

Oddly I like PBS and NPR for their entertainment content but at the same time realize anything political is left wing propaganda. It is that simple.

I wish both success in entertainment but not one damn cent of government money which is my tax dollars.

Like the FBI or the IRS, they’re too easily hijacked by the Democrats.

They cut the funding on these guys. I feel like I’m dreaming don’t you? I just never thought that would happen and it’s way overdue. Now you know the other side is gonna become very indignant about the whole thing. Believe me I used to sit next to one when I worked. He only watched PBS at the same time. I’m sure that they could get by with donations right aren’t they always harping for donations?

“I’m sure that they could get by with donations right aren’t they always harping for donations?”

Yep, if they tossed in an extra week per year of tellithon fund raising to get that 5% back would anyone even notice? Leftist Gates, Bloomberg, and Bezos ex Mackenzie Scott could cut a tax deductible check yearly as an afterthought.

If PDT really wanted to explode leftist heads he could and should get their 501c status pulled.

PBS “Travel” shows paint China and other Socialist Countries as some beautiful utopia we should all be living. Pure Globalist/Communist/Socialist promotional propaganda. Then they follow it with Global News that does the same. Every other word is “Climate”. The kid’s shows are subliminally brainwashing kids to woke socialist ideology. Only the cooking and sewing shows are somewhat lacking propaganda.

Kamala should host a telethon for them. She jacked a billion bucks in less than a month for a failed campaign. Imagine how much she and Big Bird could raise.

it’s only redeeming value was a lot of stations played Classical Music at night to goto sleep by.

but that dint make it worth the propaganda it spewed.

and since the internet, well, classical music is simply a mouseclick away...

No more Public-BS. Down goes Pravda. This battle will be fun to watch.

Unfortunately, some of that modern "classical music" they like to play sounds like someone beating on a steel trash can lid with a hammer. So, as you say, there are alternatives.

All vomit inducing, of course… but much MORE attention is due to the wholly revisionist take in all their history and documentary productions!!!

Sesame Street is the main reason the population want to keep the PBS funding. So why not give it to Nickelodeon or Netflix. Yes, it’s gone woke, but most remember it fondly as a kid.

Now, defund the rest of the mockingbird media.

That little bit of USAID going to Politico and Reuters is just a drop in the bucket. Much of mainstream media is funded and controlled by our “intelligence” agencies and the DNC, and are not doing what the media should be doing.
