It's been a political football for decades. Conservatives use it as an example of liberal spending run amok, so public broadcasting has had to constantly look over its shoulder during that time.
No, I would like to eliminate corporate influence as well, but that might not be possible in a capitalist society.
- asadotzler 1y agoTake a tax supported public good, remove the public support and then claim to worry about corporate influence? What do you think was holding that corporate influence at bay?
- munchler 1y agoUnfortunately, the necessary level of public support doesn't exist, so relying on government money isn't viable. I hope public broadcasting will get enough money directly from individuals to resist excessive corporate influence, but we'll have to see.
