Right, half the country is truth social and newsmax, and should be ignored by the government sponsored press.

  Considering that they're basically calling for the the overthrow of the government, maybe that's appropriate?

    Does the question mark indicate some possibility you'd be willing to consider "finding some way" to install a genuine democracy, that governs according to the will of the people and actually walks the talk? If you think the so-called democracy we have now is acceptable, you've got pretty low standards in my opinion.

      That this is downvoted (twice!) is very interesting. Will this one also? Have I once again (for the third time) picked up an ambitious anti-fan? ;)

  > the government sponsored press. I guess "the nominally-funded by public grants in amounts about two orders of magnitude down from total funding" doesn't have the same rhetorical sizzle. And it's not "ignoring" people to realize that those who choose Truth Social or Newsmax maybe just don't want what NPR does, let alone other reasons why it might be a poor idea to chase those listeners.

  Half the country is far too much, but there is certainly a section of people who consider anything other than full-on no-qualifier cheering of Donald Trump to be "left wing biased lamestream media". I don't know exactly how many people exactly bought in to Trump's cult of personality, but it's a sizeable number (10 to 20% at least). So how do you keep everyone happy in a case like that? Well, you can't.
