[Peace-discuss] Lee Camp on NPR

[David Johnson]

Both NPR and PBS are corporate funded.

The decent of " public " radio and TV began in the 1980's when Rep. of South Carolina Jesse Helms led an assault on PBS and NPR saying they were " biased " and " Left-wing ". He and other members of congress were able over time to have their taxpayer subsidies cut significantly and both had to go begging to corporate donors / underwriters.
By the late 1990' s they had become another corporate mouth piece, which is about the time I stopped watching PBS ( I use to love Frontline )and listening to NPR.

Someone should do a similar (but calmer) job on PBS — NPR’s TV counterpart — & esp. its “Frontline” series.  Their recent demonization smears of N. Korea’s Kim & V. Putin (“Putin’s Revenge,”  Wed. 10/25, WILL-TV, 9–10 pm) were the most blatant political propaganda I’ve seen in years.

Does make me wonder who is paying for this stuff & how it gets planted on PBS.
