The MAGA people and anemic Republican Congress finally got their wish to stifle “biased” public radio and TV by defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, CPB.
Let’s examine what really happened. Public media reports the truth. Truth is truth, not alternative facts. This exercises the Trumpers because they don’t want to hear it. Pay no attention to this, they say, it’s leftish trash. They’re taking you for a ride, America.
To the 70 million people who voted for Trump, seek the truth and it will make you free. Call it like it is. We’re letting a lying, cowardly draft dodging, Putin loving, COVID denying, swampy pardoner, burn down the Capitol. Enough!
