I’m all for defunding NPR and PBS until they strictly abide by their saying that they are representing all sides of America and NOT just the blue side. Independents enjoy the more traditional news cast where two on the left explain their views, then two on the right, and maybe one straddling the middle. Then assume in a democracy the reader or viewer can chew on a more educated or balanced decision. Journalism needs to be challenged to bring its citizens the truth. If not it’s just propaganda, lies, or lala land fiction. Freedom isn’t freedom if half the picture is missing (much like science isn’t science if it’s not up for some debate). No more funding for these orgs unless the scales are balanced and transparent. Maybe with this old fashion purview of news, we will have more unity and compromise? Right now “My way or the highway ain’t working.”
