Dear Geoff: NPR and PBS do NOT believe in or represent the "free flow of information." They refuse to include information and arguments from conservatives. They take our tax dollars and smear us as dangerous extremists. Why don't you pay for it out of pocket?.
FCC commissioner Geoffrey Starks takes on Brendan Carr: "Public television and radio stations play a significant role in our media ecosystem. Any attempt to intimidate these local media outlets is a threat to the free flow of information and the marketplace of ideas.".

It's MELTDOWN time for Jonathan Capehart on PBS. I am "mystified" that Trump is gaining support from 2020, the twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, convicted of 34 felony counts. After Madison Square Garden!? "Who are we as a country?. I'm not sure I like it!"
