    Wait until fox news becomes federally funded and the official lies news of the government.

      Honestly having the government fund news is asking for trouble. It would be different if they were very clear about only funding non bias articles and information but in this case they are funding private opinions.

    This is the reason I’ve added my NPR stations to my donations list. Fuck the republican traitor filth. Now and forever, every republican can fuck off and die.

      I added NPR and PBS to my monthly donation list as well. I wonder how many others will contribute what they can now thanks to this investigation?

      Same, NPR, PBS and ProPublica I don’t want to lose sources that still do real journalism.

      Probably would have been yesterday if an opportunity to blame over 60 deaths on people not being white males didn’t appear.

    They’ve been going after public media since Nixon. Of course, it would hit their key demographic–rural areas–the hardest, who rely on public media for things like emergency alerts. Not to mention public media is the only source of local quality journalism for a lot of places.

    But who cares about all that when we can let Sinclair Broadcasting take over and get rid of all that “woke” stuff?
