Corporation for Public Broadcasting shuts down after federal funding cuts

( L A. Times - A cogent and accurate commentary by Member - johntomas ) You recycle a common but baseless accusation that NPR and PBS have become “left-leaning,” when in reality, what’s often labeled as “bias” is simply truthful reporting on deeply troubling actions -- including Donald Trump’s sustained attacks on democratic institutions, press freedom, judicial independence, and [ the ] rule of law. Holding the powerful accountable, fact-checking lies, and spotlighting threats to civil liberties isn’t “left-wing” – it’s journalism. When a political figure or party consistently undermines core democratic values, coverage that reflects that reality will appear critical -- but that doesn’t mean it’s biased. In fact, multiple independent media watchdogs, including Media Bias/Fact Check and Ad Fontes Media, consistently rate both NPR and PBS as among the most factual, minimally biased, and balanced news sources available. Programs like PBS NewsHour and All Things Considered feature rigorous reporting, diverse perspectives, and expert analysis far removed from partisan spin. The nostalgia for figures like Huell Howser (a lifestyle and travel host, not a journalist) confuses entertainment with news. The real “shock” isn’t PBS’s content -- it’s how politicized and thin-skinned some audiences have become when confronted with uncomfortable truths, especially about figures they once supported. Public broadcasting didn’t betray its mission -- it upheld it. _____ NOTES: The Corporation For Public Broadcasting Sells Commercial Advertising Time as specific programs sponsorships making it more than just taxpayer funded. It's "Public" + "Non-Profit" + "Hybrid" + "Corporate" + "Confusion" + the indisputable highest quality programming ever produced by human beings and is the main-stay of the smartest and most courageous people on earth! anyone who would destroy it is doing the work of Satan! Shame On You - You MAGA REPUBLICAN-COMMUNIST IDIOTS! THE AMERICAN GUILLOTINE is coming to your town! _____ L. A. Times [ ://tinyurl.com/yushhe6f ]
