NPR CEO Foolishly Asks for Examples of Bias, Gets Hit with Dozens of Jaw-Dropping Times They Went All in for LibsJust a couple examples:

I’m a little disappointed in us right now. I’m aware this is probably an unpopular opinion, but l’m a fan of PBS.
I’m a literal sponsor of PBS. That has more to do with the program “antiques roadshow” than anything political.
I’m also aware that the programming for NPR had grown left leaning, and it upsets me that instead of reforming they instead decided to cut its funding.
I grew up with Sesame Street. I think a lot of us did. I’m upset with our lack of effort here. The Trump team got what they wanted earlier by skewering the CEO on PBS but they didn’t allow time to see the results.
This is a bad thing for America. It forces PBS to seek revenue from other outlets, which means they have no choice but to open themselves up to outside influences. Adapt or die.
My concern is that they’ll be able to find those outlets and it won’t be in our best interests.
Think about it. Who has the money to lift up PBS? Bezos? Musk? Zuckerberg? Some Saudi Arabian prince?
They have all basically been invited to buy a major news outlet because we didn’t have the stones to even try to reform it.

I disagree completely. I would be on your side if it was still a show where kids were singing about tadpoles in a river and learning phonics, grammar, and counting. But instead, it somehow progressed to this.
Encouraging kids to be the guinea pigs for a vaccine that they never needed is morally indefensible. PBS met the fate it deserved.

I hear the concerns over its programming, l really do. That programming evolved over time and it can evolve again.
I can’t say it anymore clearly than this: if you invest in something and build it up from nothing for 50+ years, normal people don’t just walk away from that. They change it or they sell it. Bottom line is they get something out of that 50+ year investment.
I guess with it being “publicly owned” they can’t really sell it, so reformatting it would be the only real option if you’re going to keep your hooks in your investment.
But instead we simply let it go and created a media empire for anyone else who wants one.
It’ll be fine l figure, but it’s liable to devolve into something you dislike even more. Cue the anonymous Chinese investors.

Sunk cost fallacy. If I could bring myself to let go of the Browns like I did PBS and NPR, I'd probably be a much happier person on Sundays.

i do not remember a Cleveland PBS station broadcasting locally before 1972,
that includes the couple UHF/ VHF stations as well, am I wrong?
