1. Thank you! I love PBS and don't understand why more people don't support and watch it.

PBS is news as it should be. It's unbiased, factual, and non-sensational.

PBS News Hour, Washington Week, a recent special on Dick Van Dyke, who just turned 100, documentaries, SCIENCE, nature segments, etc. It's EXCELLENT programming.

I'm hoping it will be part of the NEW independent media environment we will all have to build: PBS, Free Speech TV, The Atlantic, ProPublica, CMD, Media Matters, the Brennan Center, various Substack reporters and shows, etc.

As the Republican Taliban/Nazis take over mainstream media, we have to build our own environment of independent media - non-billionaire-controlled, non-corporate-owned.

I believe this is where media is headed now: INDEPENDENT. What USED to be mainstream media will all be controlled by the billionaire propaganda ministry.
