It was inevitable. For decades, public TV had to lose public funding. When it is considered how liberal and one-sided it was for many decades, it had to happen. It was just a simple matter of when the proper people became in charge.

Now PBS must survive or fail in the capitalist system as the rest of the stations.

As for me, I believe it is about time. Why should they get a free ride when the rest must swim or drown? If folks decide not to view their constant untruths, to put it kindly, then it will be time for them to fade forever into obscurity.

Moreover, maybe it is time the so-called news broadcasters tell the truth or face it. The fact is, in order to survive in the capitalist system, a person, an organization or a corporation must produce something in demand. That doesn’t include lies and propaganda.
