U.S. journalism needs to be treated as a “public good” like roads, schools and bridges

    Ridiculous. Publicly funded means propaganda for the state. It’s a No for me, dawg.

      Plenty of private companies get public funding and say and do whatever they want. We already have PBS and NPR, we should just increase their budgets.

        I disagree. PBS and NPR have deep political biases in their programming. Either remove the biases, or scrap the programs. I don’t need entities telling me how to think, I will review facts and come to my own conclusions.

        As for private companies that get public funding…that’s a bit vague, so I can’t comment on that.

          If you think NPR and PBS have deep political biases you aren’t reviewing the facts correctly.

            If you think they don’t have deep political biases, you need to step out of your echo chamber and breathe some fresh air.
