Yep…it turns out the US House of Reps restored $100 million that they threatened to take away from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Within hours of a new CEO of the CPB being announced no less. The Media Geek asks, “Coincidence?”. I doubt it. Sounds like orchestrated drama to me.. sheer theatrics. BTW, Media Geek is so incredibly informed about media issues. Listen to his show and read his blog.
All in all I still think this fight to save CPB is war against two moneyed interests. Entrenched moderate “Public” media versus right wing corporate media. Yet again the only choice they would let you think you have is a choice between the lesser of two evils. NOT! Media reformists are using the people as activists for THEIR cause. We really don’t have a dog in this fight. Just make the media yourself and ditch ‘em both!
