If NPR was controlled and coerced by the United States government, wouldn't there be at least some observable difference in content depending on who was controlling the United States government at any given time?
- pandaman 4y agoDoes the Voice of America's content change when the party in control of each chamber of Congress changes?
- antibasilisk 4y agoThere would, if not for the fact that who controls the US government doesn't really change. The president doesn't call the shots, the special interest groups, department heads and intelligence agencies do, and those are the same groups that are able to exercise direct control over NPR. Frankly this isn't much more subtle than your average show-democracy. To give two concrete examples of this you can look into the 7th Floor Group and Operation Mockingbird.
