PBS And NPR: Subsidiaries Of Koch Industries? (seems so) [View all]

[Triana]

Even on Diane Rehm in the morning, all I hear most often is RW talking heads squawking about how "unpopular" a President Obama is and how bad ACA is. They mention the great numbers of late (5 seconds) but then go on to talk for 15 minutes about the website - again - AS IF the SS or any other gov't website when it was launched was perfect either. They weren't. Any new launch of any new website - gov't or private - that is to be used by millions of people immediately - WILL HAVE PROBLEMS that need working out over the next 6 months - year. DUH. They ignored the good news and predictably focused on negatives. As they are paid and/or directed to do, no doubt.

I got lambasted a while back for suggesting the Kochs had significant control of PBS and NPR - which explains why Citizen Koch was sort of mostly ABSENT from any publicity or showings most places in NC. Well...

So yea. I wasn't too far off base.

If anyone on here works for NPR or knows anyone who does, sorry. The truth hurts. But there it is.
