Snobby PBS-NPR Station Manager: Uninformed Conservatives 'Don't Listen or Watch' #Political
The playbook for the PBS/NPR lobby in the defunding fight has been to send liberal journalists to talk with station managers in small communities in red states, as if that somehow represents the Eastern leftist elites that make the programming on "public" broadcasting. Politico's "West Wing Playbook" column talked to Don Dunlap, a station manager in Corpus Christi, Texas. Both Texas Senators and the local congressman voting for defunding these "public" propaganda pushers.
“There are 10 public TV stations in Texas, and we’re thinking probably six of them will close down within a year,” Dunlap predicted in an interview. “I think [lawmakers’] decisions were not informed,” Dunlap said. “We’re there to help people.”
The newsletter compiled by Irie Sentner, Ben Johansen and Sophia Cai naturally accepted the wild claim that Republicans don't know what they're talking about when they complain about relentless leftist/Democrat bias:
POLITICO: Republicans say they’re defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting because NPR and PBS propagate left-wing positions. You’re in a red district in a red state — how do you respond to that?
DUNLAP: That's said by a lot of people who don't listen or watch what we're doing here. On the TV side, there's just no way that we could even have two sides to something. What's the political side of bald eagles or nature programs about hurricanes or volcanoes, or classical music programming to play on the radio? There's no political side to that.
The dumbest line of all is pretending that PBS is all nature programs, and NPR is all classical music. PBS has a News Hour and nasty documentaries in the Frontline series. Dunlop's NPR station plays plenty of music, but also runs the morning and evening "news" programs pushing their political side. Then Don-boy gets snottier:
We have a program on the radio called All Things Considered. I think the nature of that program is what these people don't like. Some people don't like things to be talked about or covered. They want their information limited. So then they have to come up with a name for it, call it “woke” or something.
Curtis Houck sent this to me, knowing that the argument that frustrates me the most after documenting PBS and NPR bias for 36 years is that "conservatives don't watch/listen." We supplied members of Congress with years of research into "public" broadcasting aiding and abetting the Left. They were definitely informed.
Only someone who's never listened to NPR would pretend that All Things Considered actually considers all things. Instead, they're telling Texans about drag queens engaging in a joyful blowout for "climate activism."
These "public" broadcasters notoriously touted the book In Defense of Looting and another author who said riots against the police should be described as “rebellions.” They preposterously tried to deny the founders of Black Lives Matter were Marxists even as they self-identified as Marxists. That was woke...or something.
