Thread: More False Info From Fox News

PBS keeps saying "funded by people like you", and then proceeds to run what look suspiciously like regular commercials.


Too bad they were gutted by Newt G back during the contract on America days. Now they too have to bend the knee to corporate sponsorship, and thus out the window goes their objectivity. They used to have a high quality product.

Indeed, this saddens me as well. I hope that corporate influence in PBS is not as profound as what is felt in corporate news organizations, and I am buoyed by the idea that perhaps selling time for commercials is not as corrupting as being wholly owned by commercial interests. I look forward to the day government decides to act and break up the effective News monopoly.
